After teaching mom to drive, my father drove the test area with her riding shot gun, NYC tests new drivers on the street in designated neighborhoods. There was a stop sign at the top of a hill. There was also a recently filled in utility trench, creating a depression on the right side of the travel lane. His instructions to mom were to place the right front wheel in the depression so that there would be no roll back (a failing offense) when stopping during the test.<div><br></div><div align="left" dir="auto" style="font-size:100%;color:#000000"><div>-------- Original message --------</div><div>From: ahbn6--- via Healeys <healeys@autox.team.net> </div><div>Date: 3/7/24 1:34 PM (GMT-05:00) </div><div>To: 'HealeyRick' <healeyrik@gmail.com>, 'Simon Lachlan' <simon.lachlan@alexarevel.plus.com> </div><div>Cc: 'Healeys' <healeys@autox.team.net> </div><div>Subject: Re: [Healeys] [O/T] Manuals </div><div><br></div></div><div class="WordSection1"><div><blockquote style="border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-top:5.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:5.0pt"><div><div><div><div><p style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto" class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif">I have a better one for you. Early in our marriage our Lincoln Continental gave out and I bought my wife a Honda Civic stick shift (I drove a company car). Anyway I had a devil of a time teaching her to drive a manual transmission. She drove her daughter to school. We lived at the bottom of a hill and the school was at the top. There was a depression at the top to channel water and she finally learned to go up the hill and stop at the channel and stop there resting her front wheels there until traffic cleared without sliding back.</span></b></p><p style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto" class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif"> </span></b></p><p style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto" class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif">John Sims</span></b></p><p style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto" class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif"><a href="http://www.healey6.com">www.healey6.com</a></span></b></p><p style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto" class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif">Matawan, NJ</span></b><span lang="EN-GB"></span></p></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div></div></body></html>
