Comments on: Kyle’s First Driving Lesson [video] http://www.abbottfamilyblog.com/2008/01/18/kyles-first-driving-lesson-video Playing By Ear as a way of life Tue, 27 Jul 2010 06:24:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: Russell http://www.abbottfamilyblog.com/2008/01/18/kyles-first-driving-lesson-video/comment-page-1#comment-9021 Russell Wed, 30 Dec 2009 16:04:33 +0000 http://www.abbottfamilyblog.com/2008/01/18/kyles-first-driving-lesson-video#comment-9021 A genuine slice of Americana, beautifully filmed, and stunningly acted. Superb fiddle playing, sweet instruction, and kick ass driving. The iron-clad habit of using your turn signals, while admittedly not completely necessary on all occasions, is highly commendable, costs nothing, and will afford you the luxury of never having to decide whether you need to or not. With regard to the changing of drivers, I must agree with the narrator that it is usually customary for one person to exit the vehicle and walk around to the other side. While the method employed here is, as far as I am aware, not really illegal in any way, I somehow fear that it may be frowned upon by “sticks in the mud” the world over. All in all, a highly successful first driving lesson, and I look forward to the subject chauffeuring his family cross country to visit me at some future date.
