Patience for Learner Drivers

[dabaldie]

Ok the first thing people get taught when they learn to drive is be patient.
A driving instructor is probably the most patient person around... usually...
what did i see yesterday....?

a driving instructor in her car i wont name the company but she was in plymouth in a silver beetle and something watson was always told by sherlock... was written on the side .
anyway at the local petrol station a car wanted to fill up on the right hand side.. (why people dont realise that the hose reaches to both sides i'll never know).. (another one of my pet hates)..
anyway (i digress).. she wanted to fill up on the left hand side but the car infront was blocking her... waht did she do?.. instead of waiting, i watched her rant and swear at the driver in front and lean on her horn until he moved the extra 2 foot further forward to let her through. she then wheel spun across the forecourt to the pump and nearly skidded into the car at the pump in front on the fuel on the floor.....
talk about setting a bad example.. and thats an instructor!!

More useless info;
Elementary my dear...was not written in any SH stories by Conan Doyle.

ahh. but

does not occur as such in any of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock
Holmes stories, although Holmes does exclaim "Elementary" in "The
Crooked Man", and says "It was very superficial, my dear Watson, I
assure you" in "The Cardboard Box". The first recorded
juxtaposition is in the 1929 film _The Return of Sherlock Holmes_
(the first Holmes film with sound).

The original stories never mention an Inverness cape, a
deerstalker hat, or a meerschaum pipe, either. Those props are due
to illustrators and to actors.

and to go one step further....

One lovely evening, the detective Sherlock Holmes and his trusty
friend Dr. Watson went on a camping trip. After having dinner and
drinking a few glasses of wine, they became tired and went to
sleep. A couple hours passed and Sherlock Holmes awoke, and
shortly thereafter woke Dr. Watson as well. He said, "Watson,
look up, and tell me what you see."

Dr. Watson replied, "Well, sir, I see millions of stars in the
sky."

Sherlock Holmes asked, "And what does that tell you?"

Dr. Watson paused for a moment and said, "Well, astronomically it
tells me that there are billions of stars and possibly millions
of galaxies in the universe. Astrologically, it tells me that
Saturn is in Leo. Horalogically I can deduce that it is
approximately quarter past three in the morning. Theologically it
symbolizes that God is magnificent and that we humans are small
and insignificant in the universe. And meteorologically, I
suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow."

To which Sherlock Holmes replied, "No, stupid! Someone has stolen
our tent!"

"Remove your trousers, old chap"

It's lemon entry, dear Watson. (ouch)

This driving instructor does raise a point: Why is it that a psychological condition will strip a man of his driving licence, but someone with a history of PMT is allowed a licence? Doesn't seem fair to me. The Highway Code says you shouldn't drive if you're upset and distracted, surely PMT counts as this?

Of course, she could have just been an a**ehole.

Almost all the "sans-student" driving school vehicles I see are dong something stupid. If I get a chance to query their behaviour, I am greeted by a wide smile and "Do as I say, not as I do......"

 

[AdamW]

A response to that could be "But I like w*nking!"

My mother once told me that in order to qualify a driving instructor you must have both:

1) halitosis
2) a small pe*is

Of course I've never told my dad this, as he taught her to drive...

 

[securespark]

Aren't they both hereditary?

It really doesnt surprise me how people drive now an I find the police the worst for bad habits , tailgating an agressive driving,when not on Emergancy (teatime /supper ready at the station )work ..

if the other way around I bet they would slide into the "Lil Man/Penis" syndrome ,all big hardmen behind a uniform ,Pathetic losers (mainly cops I know were bullied crybabies at my old school) lol
