I've been driving for more than 10 years now, but every time (well, almost) my dad gets in the car with me, he gets into his driving instructor mode. He's not a backseat driver, but gives driving-instructor-like directions. Case in point:
Dad: The exit's coming up in 100 meters, you should indicate soon.
Me: Ok, got it.
Dad: Right, it's 50 meters ahead, indicate now. (by this time, I'm expecting a NASA-like countdown to the exit..), OR
Dad: That lorry's going pretty slow, you should overtake.
Me: Ok dad, I will. Soon.
Dad: Right, make sure there aren't any cars coming, indicate then ease out slowly, then speed up till you overtake him.
Me: Ok dad..would you like me to write that all down? (mutters..)
I honestly think that secretly, my dad would like to be a driving instructor in his free time.
Aaah, dads-what would we ever do without 'em? ;)
