theyre frightened theyll f look like sissies it only takes one f or two lessons to show them 1 theyve still got a lot to learn j women are often overcautious to start with but usually become good drivers he adds jack estimates it takes the average driver between 15 and 17 j lessons of 45 minutes each before he or she is ready to take a test lessons used to last an hour but theres only so much a per son can absorb you can learn as j much in 45 minutes as you can in jsj an hour t the first time i take students out i get them behind theft wheel once hes explained the controls and how to operate them he takes them out on the street if i feel theyre not in control well go down the 10th ji and spend one or two lessons on1 that most people grasp it pretty 5 quickly j towards the end of the training- he tells his students i want youti to take me for a drive through l town im not going to tell you what to do ive always felt im doing this because i enjoy it not to get rich he smiles he gives lessons in his dual control automatic when people want to learn stan- dard i teach them on the- automatic first he explains when they get their licence h- give them one or two lessons on j driving a standard in their own car i when he started giving lessons standard transmissions verel almost nonexistent now theyre much more popular he estimates that between 75 and 80 per cent of his students pass their test on the first try says dorothy fortyseven students ih a row passed firsc time about five years ago that was before they brought in the twoyear probationary licence jack recalls the time one of his students had an accident while taking the test she stopped atrj the stop sign then pulled out iiii- front of a car coming down thej street she said she thought hfi was going to turn he said i despite causing 2300 damage to jacks car her main concern was when she could take the testf again dorothy who always takesj students to the test had to call jack and ask him to pick her up friends were quick to notice the crumpled car with the stouff- ville driving school sign on thef roof being taken away on the back of a trailer qn another occasion he was teaching a tall woman to drive a standard transmission we came up the hill by the old post office and i was trying to teach her how to hold the car withj the clutch he said i told her to keep her foot on the brake let the clutch out to friction point and get i her foot on the gas she reached down with her right hand pushed on the gas pedal and said can i do it like this jacks students say theyve never met a man who knows so many people in town dorothyf observes hes always waving at friends many of them former students when he retires from his fulltime job hell probably continue to give driving lessons although
