Polish truckers

A Polish truck driving instructor has lost his job after he was recorded giving questionable advice to trainees. During one lesson the instructor suggested to the learner that should the truck's progress be impeded by a car, the easiest option would be to ram the offending vehicle out of the way. The instructor was filmed in secret by one of his trainees who felt reason to doubt the quality of the training being given.
