    We do not help or keep track of others here...what we do, do, is;

    cajole, harrass, tease, sarcastically rip into, spar with, make fun of, and generally just have a good ole time doing it...all within the rules of the forum...or the mods would just do the same to us and hurt our feelings/////////////////:biggrin_25525:

    As a trainer I would like to know that bit of info personally. Not because I would worry about your safety. But because, you said it may require more patience. Sometimes we don't think about those things and end up wondering 'why isnt this guy getting it???'. If I know I need to be more patient going in then it helps me understand why you may ask the same questions a few extra times. I dont know about other trainers, but thats my opinion.

    It is my job to help you become a safe driver. The more I know about you the easier it become for me to find that line of communication we need. I dont know if that makes sense or not. But good luck to you!!

    Depending on which school you go to could cause problems. You really have to pay attention in class. Some schools are pretty intense in a short period of time.

    If ya don't make it as a drover you could be a perfect dicscratcher. They forget every thing immediately or slightly sooner. Just a sugestion.
