A life-long love of cars, which at its zenith saw me compete in Formula Ford 1600, meant that by my mid-fifties I had amassed many years (and miles) experience of most things automotive. And this, coupled with the enjoyment I had taken from training people to pass the advanced driving test, convinced me that I could become a competent professional driving instructor.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-47894 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-post-gallery-thumb'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/cdn-influx-wp.adrianflux.co.uk\/uploads\/2017\/05\/gfIW1ZIW.jpeg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"251\" height=\"167\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-influx-wp.adrianflux.co.uk\/uploads\/2017\/05\/gfIW1ZIW-251x167.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-post-gallery-thumb size-post-gallery-thumb\" alt=\"Hawke racing\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-influx-wp.adrianflux.co.uk\/uploads\/2017\/05\/gfIW1ZIW-251x167.jpeg 251w, https:\/\/cdn-influx-wp.adrianflux.co.uk\/uploads\/2017\/05\/gfIW1ZIW-278x185.jpeg 278w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 251px) 100vw, 251px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/cdn-influx-wp.adrianflux.co.uk\/uploads\/2017\/05\/AZANvTYz.jpeg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"251\" height=\"167\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-influx-wp.adrianflux.co.uk\/uploads\/2017\/05\/AZANvTYz-251x167.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-post-gallery-thumb size-post-gallery-thumb\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-influx-wp.adrianflux.co.uk\/uploads\/2017\/05\/AZANvTYz-251x167.jpeg 251w, https:\/\/cdn-influx-wp.adrianflux.co.uk\/uploads\/2017\/05\/AZANvTYz-278x185.jpeg 278w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 251px) 100vw, 251px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>That was 5 years ago. Now, as the proprietor of Scorrybreck Driver Training, I regularly put my life in the hands of keen (and sometimes not-so-keen) students 40 years my junior instead of sitting safely behind a nice (stationary) desk.<\/p>\n<p>I wouldn&#8217;t say it&#8217;s a particularly scary job, but perhaps that&#8217;s more because of experience (and possibly a lack of imagination) rather than bravery! In fact, I\u2019m more worried about the actions of other drivers than my pupils. At least I have some form of control over a pupil &#8211; in extreme circumstances I have the comfort of knowing that I can grab the steering wheel and take over control of the car. Indeed, that&#8217;s something I wish I could do to certain other drivers who seem to have forgotten everything they were taught.<\/p>\n<p>For example, I sometimes wonder if other drivers know what the \u2018L\u2019 plates on the back of the car actually signify \u2013 to some it seems to mean \u2018potentially slow car, for god\u2019s sake get past it as quickly as possible\u2019, usually preceded by following said learner\u2019s car at a distance measured in centimetres rather than tens of metres. Intelligent drivers will, of course, actually realise that a learner driver should be given even more space than normal &#8211; for the safety of all concerned. To all those intelligent drivers, I say \u2018thank you\u2019.<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/6_OMATFN.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/6_OMATFN.jpeg\" alt=\"Scorrybreck instructor car\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>It may not be scary but it&#8217;s most certainly hard work. As an instructor, you don&#8217;t just teach \u2013 you&#8217;re also effectively \u2018driving\u2019 the car yourself and constantly comparing the actions of your pupil to your own experience, asking yourself questions such as \u201cwhat gear would I be in here?\u201d, \u201cwhen would I start to slow down for this hazard?\u201d and \u201ccan we safely pass this parked car without becoming a hazard to oncoming traffic?\u201d And all the while you&#8217;re also watching what your pupil is doing, noticing where they are looking, keeping an eye on the time, and working out a route which is not only appropriate to the skill level of the pupil but also allows the lesson to end at the right place at the right time. Blimey! Who says men can&#8217;t multi-task?<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/25L_vj1p.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/25L_vj1p.jpeg\" alt=\"at the wheel instructor\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>It&#8217;s also quite a challenging job, but I have no doubt that my racing experience helps me to meet whatever challenges present themselves. If you can handle the organised chaos of the first lap of a Formula Ford race \u2013 when you not only have to think about getting your braking points, turning-in points and apexes right but also about the gaggle of other cars running in close proximity to you at just about any given point of the compass \u2013 then sitting beside a learner driver and keeping them right (and everyone safe \u2013 yes, even the guy glued to your rear bumper) isn&#8217;t too much to cope with. And at least it all happens a bit more slowly than on track. Usually&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s not all hard work and challenges, it&#8217;s also very rewarding &#8211; especially when you see a pupil proudly clutching their pass certificate!<\/p>\n<p><strong>So the 55-year-old software engineer has become a 60-year-old driving instructor and waits to see what the next 5 years will bring.
