“You don’t need fifth gear, that’s for racecar drivers.”
It’s now mandatory in Ireland to complete a series of lessons before being eligible to do your driving test, but the vast majority of motorists will have received some tips from their parents when first learning the ropes.
And it’s not always a pleasant experience.
We’re sure it’s borne out of concern for their son or daughter (or, more than likely, the car that they’ve allowed them to drive), but to say that some mothers and fathers take a cautious approach to tutoring would be a drastic understatement.
Plenty of you will relate to the experience described very humorously in the sketch by the excellent Foil, Arms and Hog.
Be sure to remember, however, that the panicked woman in the front seat is going to be you when the time comes to pass on your driving knowledge to your son or daughter one day.
Brilliant.
