I saw this story in the press today<\/a> (seems confined to the Scottish press).<\/p>\n

\"BSMApparently, a learner was doing a turn in the road manoeuvre in Edinburgh when she suddenly surged forward and hit a house. It ruptured a gas\u00a0and water pipe.<\/p>\n

Both instructor and pupil were unharmed (and no one else was hurt either) – as usual, this detail is way down the list of priorities on the forums.<\/p>\n

Ironically, it was a BSM school car again – remember the incident some months ago where a BSM pupil on a lesson flipped the car<\/a>? This latest incident actually caused quite a bit of disruption – the street had to be dug up, and the road was cordoned off – although precisely what happened is unclear, as the news source appears fixated with interviewing local old people all saying things like\u00a0“if she was on her test she won’t pass now” and “she won’t pass if she drives like that”, or the barbecue that had to be put out over the road:<\/p>\n

Fire-fighters were scrambled to the scene and were forced to put out a birthday BBQ party quickly across the road for fear of explosion. <\/p>\n

They later apologised for spoiling the party, but residents insisted the student driver was to blame for \u201clurching forward.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yes, I think we realise that. The pupil surged forward and hit the house.<\/p>\n

As an instructor, you have to be ready for anything. Pupils do the strangest things – and this could happen to ANY instructor, so any ADIs being smug about it are playing a risky game!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
