Hello. My Name is Kevin and I run and own Sandybank. som. Based in Waterfoot where I have lived all my life, I conduct lessons in all the previously named areas.
At the moment the cars that I use for training are a Renault Clio and a Peugeot 206 automatic. Both cars have power steering, electric mirrors, air bags for your saftey and are both fitted with he-man dual controls. Both are fully maintained.
I offer on going theory training with help on the hazard perception test if required. Refresher training is available for those of you that havent driven for a long time and feel that you need some help in getting back on the road.
Pass Plus is also available once you have passed your driving test. This is extra tuition that will keep you safe on Motorways and country lanes, in adverse weather conditions and heavy traffic.
It can also get you quite large discounts on your car insurance which can prove to be expensive the first time around.
Motorway lessons are also available for those of you that dont qualify to take Pass Plus having been driving for more than twelve months.
Discounts of £1 per hour are available if you book and pay for in advance, 10 hours tuition.
Looking forwards to hearing from you.
Thank You.
Kevin

I got my permit in June and now I am taking the Taggarts’s driving class. Do you still have to wait a year and a day to get a liscense after the class?
Many people prefer to have a female instructor. I do my best to make sure you feel at ease with me so that you can enjoy your learning experience. Although I create an enjoyable atmosphere I train to high standards and am very thorough, therefore I have a very good 1st time pass rate. I train pupils to be safe and confident drivers when they pass.

I have a 10 hand pony that is too small to ride, so I would like to teach him how to drive a cart. I do not want to teach him on my own (I am afraid I will do something wrong), so I need to find an instructor in the area to teach me first how to drive, and second how to train my pony. I would like a trainer that lives fairly close (driving distance) from where I live in Glen Rock, PA zip 17327. I need recommendations!!
It was 7:00 pm and I had just arrived at work. ‘Pick a car that has a good e-brake, you’ll need it for this sequence.’ When hearing these cautionary words from the stunt coordinator two things passed quickly through my mind. First, I thought “Great!” I was pretty sure I was going to have a good evening. Second, I hoped the cars did indeed have strong e-brakes.
Picking up my bag with my driving gear I walked toward the picture cars that were lined up at the rear of the location area. A number of various shaped and sized cars were to appear in the shoot that evening and my eyes were drawn to the Crown Victorias parked there. The cars were set up with all the police lights and I was excited to be playing a ‘goodie’ that evening.
Checking each car to see how the e-brake responded, I decided that there were two that were a little squashy, but two were ok. I wasn’t entirely happy with any of them, but felt that while they weren’t as firm as I’d like, at least they didn’t slide to the floor. Selecting the one that I believed had the strongest e-brake I turned the key in the ignition and reversed out of the park.
Thinking it would be best to give the e-brake a test run before filming began, I asked a friend to help me check the brakes. While he stood back to watch the tire on the passenger side, I revved the car and hit the e-brake when I reached 30km per hour. I was able to check the rear tire by leaning out the driver’s window and could see it lock. My friend confirmed the other rear tire did as well. I was set to go! My first challenge was behind me.
Coming to a halt, I got out and looked at the pressure in the tires. Feeling it was too low I collected my portable compression pump and plugged it into the car cigarette lighter socket. Placing the opposite end in the tire I then began filling the tires. As the compressor did its work I pulled out a length of garden hose, plus my trusty duct tape and prepared the e-brake release handle so that it couldn’t go back in. This was important to ensure that the brakes wouldn’t lock when the e-brake was used in the stunts.
Once the e-brake was ready and the tires sorted, I moved my car seat into position. Seeing a few things lying around on the floor I gathered them up to be sure that there was no likelihood of anything sliding under my feet as I was driving.
The scenes being shot called for precision driving with stunts involving rapid 90 and 180 degree turns with the vehicle. To make this as easy as possible on the handbrake I had selected 38 lbs. of pressure in the rear tires and 32 in the front tires. By doing this I was aiming to have the car move with as much control as possible to ensure that it turned where I directed it.
With checks of the first car out of the way I then went through the whole routine on the second best car, just to be sure I had a fall-back option if the car I was in encountered any problems. By the time I finished it was getting dark and I went to get ‘breakfast’. My ‘work day’ on set was only just beginning.
