Old, you're right about the driving schools. Only thing I'd add is that they teach them all about log books and doing their paperwork correctly.... but they're a whole different breed when they're on the road. Kinda like the Pinto... unsafe at any speed, and all cock and bull. Buddy of mine that's driven for 30 years was telling me a story about a driver from one of the larger local companys. He was making a delivery to a jobsite they were working on. Got there, dropped off on the side of the road, no problem, but then wanted to know where he could turn. They told him, just go up the road a mile or so to the church and turn there. Lots of room. Well, he came back 1/2 an hour later, bitchin' and moanin', there was no room to turn there and he had to go way up the road to find another place. Giving these guys crap, and they been turning loaded tridems there in snowstorms for 30 years.... Some know how to drive, and some don't..... This guy was a recent driving school grad.... They laughed for weeks after that episode.
BTW, I did know about the seat belts. My uncle has an old '66 Meteor with drum brakes all around, single master cylinder, and I think lap belts....... but I'm not sure about that. Belt laws up here I think were slacker for longer, but they clamped down in the early 80's, and now everybody has to wear one. Oh well.... Take care. Rod

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
