I was on a lesson this afternoon, and we were running through some of the manoeuvres. We'd just done the parallel park and were doing a turn in the road so we could leave the cul-de-sac we were in.<\/p>\n
My pupil gets ready, checks all around, then drives over the road to the other side. No problem so far. Then…<\/p>\n
\n[We reach the other side. No gear change (leaves it in 1st), just handbrake] <\/p>\n
[Finds the bite, checks all around. Handbrake off and we move forward] <\/p>\n
[Footbrake. Handbrake. Finds the bite, looks all around. Handbrake off and we move forward again] <\/p>\n
[Puzzled look] <\/p>\n
She:<\/strong> Why are we still going forward? <\/p>\n
Me: <\/strong>Maybe if we use the right gear? <\/p>\n
She: <\/strong>Oh .<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
She also told me (her actual words were "you'll laugh when I tell you") that the theory test she had booked for the 30th of October is actually on the 30th of November – she made a mistake when she was booking it and only discovered it when the confirmation came through the post.<\/p>\n
Just for good measure, we also had a couple of cases of me saying "turn right (or left) at the…" and she trying to turn or indicate before I'd even finished the sentence!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
