In recent months, a driving school teacher from La Línea de la Concepción (Cádiz) has become a phenomenon on TikTok. called CarlosHer very direct – some might say “extreme” – method of explaining traffic rules won out … For thousands of future drivers all over Spain.
Well, recently, TikTok account @may818600 shared a video of one of his classes. In it, you can see Carlos in the middle of an online theory class explaining a question about priority at intersections. Everything was going normally until, thanks to his characteristic self-confidence, he uttered a phrase that really went viral: “If I have priority, I will succeed, even if an old woman comes on a bike in the rain.”.
The power of the statement made the video spread quickly. Although in reality Carlos’ letter is not entirely misleading, as the theory exam does not assess good faith, but knowledge of the rules. He explains it in his own way: “This has nothing to do with being a good or bad person. If I have a priority, I succeed. I don’t have to make anyone’s life easier.».
His method may seem harsh, but behind it is a clear educational intention. Many students fail priority questions because they tend to answer thinking about what they would do “out of compassion,” rather than what the regulations require. Carlos insists On the road, you must apply the rule without hesitationBecause hesitation can also cause accidents.
The driving school where he teaches classes, @almagro_autoescuela, was able to benefit from this media boost. Your account accumulates more than 570 thousand followers and more than 8 million “likes”. His videos, with millions of views, have become a common resource for those preparing for the DGT exam.
What I like most about Carlos is his way of explaining. He uses everyday examples, creates real situations, and adds a touch of humor that makes the grammar immediately understandable. Instead of just reading the guide, explain, exaggerate, and have the student remember the lesson without having to memorize. This authenticity has been key Connect with one generation learning at a time with a short video.
Naturally, his style also sparked controversy. There are those who consider it too extreme Who sees it as a breath of fresh air amidst so much repetitive content. The truth is that his formula works: he speaks clearly, teaches with a sense of humor, and is not afraid to say what many people think.
But beyond the popular phrase, Carlos achieved something important: Bringing road safety education to young audiences Who often feel bored with traditional theoretical classes. Thanks to their way of communicating, learning to drive becomes more entertaining and friendly, without losing precision.
Although many complain, its message can be harsh but also effective, as traffic rules must be followed, not interpreted according to the moment. Because as Carlos himself says, “It’s one thing to be a good person, it’s another thing to know who has priority.”.
