I've heard you can sand the pads a little too instead of doing the drive
Thats wrong. When you bed brake pads in properly some of the pad material gets deposited onto the rotor, so when you brake you are getting the pad to come into contact with the material thats on the rotor.

My mechanic just tells me to drive slowly and don't brake too hard

So far no issues
