I remember it so well…those first nervous K53 lessons, the shaky leg on the clutch; getting in touch with the many, many things to build confidence and allowing the doubts, fears and anxieties to subside over time.
In any partnership, specially the partnership of learner driver and K53 driving instructor, it takes a 100% effort and the best attitude from both sides to accomplish the best results.
With every new client I have the opportunity to exchange gifts of courage, patience, dedication, passion, focus, determination, hope, empathy, vision, obedience, trust, encouragement, praise, compliance, reward, and many others too many to mention.
It is, however, very seldom that the exchange from a learner driver is so abundant and rewarding as in the case of Calvin Vanderwagen, a young man with his mind set on getting his licence, no matter what the demands of K53 on his time or effort.
Galileo said: “You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him discover it in himself” and with a learner driver so willing to learn and discover, it was an absolute pleasure to help with the discovery.
His examiner, Mr Zungu, created a huge fuss about the results and advised that he shake my hand for the expert training received and said that this was the best K53 driver’s test he had yet seen….FIRST TIME PASS. I must agree. DAMN, I love my job!!!
Congratulations, Calvin, and many, many, many confident, happy and safe driving years to you!!
Wanna see what the fuss is all about?
Here’s the evidence….read it and WEEP!
….or, simply decide to repeat or better the success.
To K53 Driver Test Applicants throughout South Africa,
I challenge you to match these results or better it and I’ll make sure the world reads about it on my blog.
C’mon….YOU CAN DO IT!!
