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.
