If you remember that song, we can be friends!

We're talking teenagers this week, and why so many driving instructors are critical of them. Are they lazy? Do they care? Are we making the situation worse?

Samantha De Mattos recently qualified as both a teacher, and an accredited coach, and as such she has quite strong opinions on the topic of today's youth. 

But we also take a look at the difference between coaching and teaching and discuss how driving instructors can find their passion. 

You can find Sam on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Tik Tok.
