You're Driving Me Crazy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781503284753)

Bob Newhart only wrote about it, Roy experienced it - the madcap world of teaching people to drive. How would you like to teach your mother-in-law? Roy did it. What would you do with a Korean lady who knew no English or for that matter, a Ukranian? Read about a French lady who was in the French resistance during WWII. And the student who slammed on her brakes to avoid going through the yellow light, but the driver of an 18 wheeler directly behind her was hell bent on going through it. How about teaching 13 girls - all from the same family. Then there was the New Yorker who drove a hook and ladder down the sidewalks of 65th street, but could not drive a car on the highway. This and much, much more awaits you. Roy's experiences range from pathetic, to humorous, to sad, to outrageous, to funny, to questionable and to outright side-splitting. Roy learned to drive on the farm at age seven. He drove the pickup while his brother, father and grandfather tried to lay barbed wire. Lots of blood. At age eight they had him on a tractor at hay bailing time. Instead of hitting the brake he hit the clutch - read about the aftermath. After farming, Roy's father went into the trucking business. Against his will Roy became a mechanic. At age 15 his exact words were, "I'll never make a living with anything that has four wheels." Today he has over 30 four wheelers that ply the highways teaching thousands of people annually to drive. Those thousands have accounted for the stories in this book. For instance: Mabel, who was blinded when she took her road test when her wig slid down over her eyes and Lettie who at 80 was slightly over four feet and eighty pounds but had been an Olympic javelin champion, or Millie who had survived the bombing of Coventry by the Germans during WWII. Then there was Mrs. So and So who on the side was dating the same man her daughter was - while Roy was teaching them both. All yours for less than a ticket to the movies with popcorn and a drink. Note: Coming from a non-PC time, this book carries no guarantees of Political Correctness.
