My instructor used to have the pupil drive to the location of the next pupil and pick them up. They'd swap over and the just picked up pupil would drive the other home thus ensuring everyone got their full hour and he had no downtime travelling from customer to customer. He used to use the time on the journey home for the pupil who's lesson had just finished to allow them to observe another pupil and spot the mistakes. Just a thought... -- Conor The surprise isn't how often we make bad choices; the surprise is how seldom they defeat us.

Why would my boss be dealing with temperature controlled goods - do you know him? - and does he have a second job he hasn't told me about? -- SteveH 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - Hongdou GY200 - Alfa 75 TSpark Alfa 156 TSpark - B6 Passat 2.0TDI SE - COSOC KOTL BOTAFOT #87 - BOTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC # |
