Imo driving instructors should be paid higher.
They are risking their lives with every candidate on the road.

Yeah don't know how they can stand it. Being trapped inside a
car all day with students who cannot drive.
You can't even play any music during the lesson.
The whole thing jerks all the time, they must feel like
vomitting from motion sickness.
But generally speaking I prefer younger instructors. They come
across as better teachers, give more confidence. Also cuter and
friendlier.
