Well, yesterday (Tuesday) really. Well done FB – passed with 7 driver faults. This was her first test with me, though she’d taken it and failed several times before.<\/p>\n
The best part about this one was that she didn’t expect to pass and was absolutely elated when she did (I had to force her to take the test otherwise she never would have – she was a much better driver than she gave herself credit for, and I had to make her see this).<\/p>\n
It really made my day – even if my last pupil did his level best to screw it up by arguing. We were parked, a car pulled up behind us, and my pupil drove off without looking over his shoulder or indicating. When I pointed it out, what did I get?<\/p>\n
“Oh, come on! He isn’t going to pull over and then drive off again.” <\/p>\n
“And what about not looking over your shoulder?” <\/p>\n
“I did.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
He didn’t – not before he moved off, anyway. And he refused to accept that he should have indicated for the car behind.<\/p>\n
If he isn’t careful he’ll be looking for another instructor soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
