Is being a driving instructor stressful?

I feel like being a driving instructor would be such a stressful job. Do they get nervous being in the car with new drivers all day? I would be gripping the handle the whole time.

Most driving instructors will tell you that, yes, being a driving instructor is pretty stressful. Teaching people to drive can be scary as the students are not yet used to the rules of the road or the way that the car itself works.
When you’re in the car with a student driver, you also have to deal with things like
road rage
from other drivers on the road. Combined with the anxiety of the new driver, this can make the experience very harrowing; in fact, two-thirds of people surveyed about teaching students to drive said that it was scarier than learning to drive as a student.
