The original sentence was:

> 運転教官は私に毎日運転するように言いました。  
>  The driving instructor told me to drive every day.

But I wanted to change it into something more complex or perhaps similar to
how a native speaker would say it.

> 運転教官は毎日運転した方がいいように言わせられてくれました。  
>  The driving instructor told me that I should drive every day.

Is it correct? Or please can some of you tell me how to say it in a more
native way?

Thank you in advance! ^.^

Correctness of this sentence
The original sentence is already perfectly natural, but I'm afraid to say your
attempt makes no sense.

言わせられてくれた is a causative-passive form followed by the past form of a donatory
subsidiary verb くれた. It would mean "the instructor was (kindly) made (by
someone) to say ～", if it means anything. However, the causative-passive
meaning ("the instructor was made to say ～") has nothing to do with the
intended meaning. Using くれる is not wrong if you are really thankful, but you
usually don't need to thank for a simple advice like this.

It's possible rephrase the original sentence by using a simple passive form,
like so:

> 運転教官に毎日運転するよう言われました。  
>  I was told to drive every day by the driving instructor.

But this is no better than the original sentence as far as the naturality is
concerned.
