Sorry I missed my deadline yesterday. Was out with a friend and it was getting late for posting.
The other day I saw driver training car. A few mistakes were made, but that is to be expected from a new driver. A couple things he did though made me wonder what his instructor was doing. Nothing serious really, like at one point he was in the left lane and merged to the right lane. The thing is the right lane was ending in less that half a kilometre. He remained in the right lane until the absolute end despite plenty of opportunity to merge back ahead of time. All this to say how well do we train our trainers? I already think it's too easy to get your licence, heck you aren't even required to take a driver training class.
The next step is the testers. How well are they trained? Do they simply follow a check list or are they properly trained to recognise a bad driver.
I would actually like to open up a driver training centre. We would train new drivers, retrain older drivers, teach advanced courses. What would set us apart is out facilities. Something like this old Honda Proving centre would be great although admittedly a little overkill. The thing is the cost for such a venture is quite high and I just don't see enough people interested in the type of training I want to offer.

I went along with my son when he was doing his driving test to get his license at age 18...yes, he waited until he was 18 so he wouldn't have to take a class.
Anyhoo, I was in the back seat and he was driving my car (Manual Neon at the time).
Afterword, the instructor kept us in the car while he explained to my son all of his mistakes (which according to him, were plenty). But then he said that he liked him and thought he was a good kid and signed his paperwork so he could get his license.
My kid is charming, what can I say? :D
Your kid is definitely charming and even your kid instructor is good but this is not always the case with all institutes. One should be trained to the actual meaning not just to get the license.
