Oh Boy
Been looking through some old diaries, and I think I
should write a comedy series. I’m sure I’m not the only instructor with
memorable pupils
One lady after about 10 lessons with another instructor,
either 3 months or ages ago? Couldn’t quite remember, decided she was ready for
her test. She wanted to book a block of
20 hours with her test at the end. I offered her an assessment lesson which she
took but it was soon apparent perhaps another 0 on the end of the 20 might be
better.
She’s already taken her Theory and passed with flying
colours, she said, but when asked what the National Speed Limit sign
meant. She didn’t have a clue. Then I asked
if she knew the traffic lights sequence, she could only remember that RED meant
GO.
She wanted to know how will she know what speed to do on
her test. I said to watch the road
signs. Her answer was she kept forgetting them, there were so many to remember
and also once you’ve passed your Theory it doesn’t matter.
She didn’t book any more lessons she
said she would go back to her previous instructor because he didn’t keep making
her mess about and wasting time changing gear.
