Student Driver

One of my colleagues is studying in preparation for getting a driver's license. She's in her twenties, but I don't believe that she has ever operated a car.

At lunchtime, she asked me to help her with some of the online test questions that she had missed. She didn't understand what a soft shoulder was or why it was better, if one wheel fell onto the shoulder, to ease up on the gas rather than applying the brake. I did my best to explain it to her.

She didn't understand why pedestrians should face oncoming traffic on roads without sidewalks. I explained that as well.

I was surprised when she said that she didn't know the difference between headlights and high beams, but I was shocked when she then asked me to explain what headlights are. (No, I'm not kidding.) I gave her an explanation of the difference and recommendations on when to use one or the other.

In summation, watch out world! She'll be out on the roads very soon now. Oh, and I forgot to mention that she is an avid texter.
