I finished my Defensive Driving
I finished my Defensive Driving Class yesterday. The instructor, John, was not as good as the one on Monday (Les) but it was still bearable. They pretty much give you every single answer during the class - many several times (like, "all TRUE/FALSE questions are TRUE, except for questions 17 & 18" or "Question 20 is B", or "C and 'None of the Above' are NEVER the answer"). Not that the questions are all that difficult. I'm sure that even without taking the class I would have passed. Still, the girl whose test I graded managed to get three (out of 20) wrong, two of which were TRUE/FALSE questions...
And then there had to be someone in the audience who would disagree with the instructor's material. John said that statistics show that having just one drink increases your chances of being in an accident by 50% (yay for me as the perennial designated driver). So there was this woman who was taking her eighth(!) defensive driving course (she was only 29, so it's pretty much a course every 16 months) and who had more tickets that she couldn't dismiss, and she's trying to argue that it depends on your "tolerance" for alcohol. John was pretty good about not pointing out that given it was her 8th class, maybe her views on cause and effect in driving might be slightly skewed. Still, I bet she'll become part of his repertoir in future classes.
