A survey assessing driving instructors' opinions on students' driving skills and the effectiveness of self-assessment in improving driving abilities.
[...] With self-assessment of knowledge in road safety, teachers can guide learners and ensure that they evaluate their knowledge of road safety issues by analyzing their understanding of the causes of accidents and prevention strategies. In the domain of external messages confirming (or not) their own abilities and characteristics, every person includes their own discoveries as a result of their successful or failed activities. The process of self-knowledge has its dynamic marked by subjectivity, re-evaluations, corrections, confirmations, re-hierarchies of values, and can be translated into psychological support for the action of realizing career projects, or it can remain a simple act of passive introspection.

[...] However, returning to training is not only destabilizing. It is also an opportunity for individuals to discover new possibilities; it is an opportunity to organize around a new project and to project oneself gradually into the future, like a kind of rebirth.

By actively engaging in their own personal development process, they will be able to acquire essential skills to respond appropriately to the development needs of their students. [...]
[...] According to Morrissette (2010)4, Self-assessment allows students to have a certain appreciation of 'their achievements in terms of quality in relation to objectives and criteria in order to raise improvement paths' In learning or teaching driving, this importance is not minor. Driver education is a crucial element of road safety and accident prevention. Self-assessment plays a fundamental role in this process, both for educators in traffic matters and for students. For driving school instructors, there is an improvement in pedagogical practice. In fact, self-assessment allows educators to reflect on their teaching methods, identify their strengths and weaknesses, and set improvement goals. [...]
[...] Some students do not seem to think that the learning project is compatible with their preferred learning method. They seem to expect something entirely different and this creates frustrations, leading some like Virgil N. to the brink of disengagement. These various elements, combined with the criticisms or negative feedback they have received during their training, have played a role in this general feeling of needing to take stock, to make a self-criticism, a self-evaluation that would allow them to reassure themselves.
