As I said, there was a thing in the paper tonight about documentaries. And I've had an idea for a long time for, what I think is a wonderful documentary, which has everything. For instance you go to work, you come home at night and you never really think about it. it's mechanical, it's routine. 
But there are a group of men, who everyday, when they go to work never know if that night they will return. Because they face death in a hundred different ways. And I'm talking about America's driving instructors. And I'd like to present the first episode in a new TV series called - The Driving Instructor.
Now I'd like to have you picture if you would, this is a car, I'm the driving instructor and seated next to me is a woman driver."

How do you do?
Erm, you're Mrs. Webb, is that right?...
Oh, I see you've had one lesson already, who was the instructor on 
that Mrs. Webb?
Mr. Adams...
I'm sorry, here it is. Mr. Adams. Just let me read ahead and kind of 
familiarize myself with the case
Erm, how fast were you going when Mr. Adams jumped from the car?
Sev..., Seventy-five. And, and where was that?
In your driveway
How far had Mr. Adams gotten in the lesson?
Backing out
I see, you were backing out at seventy-five and that's, that's when he 
jumped
Did he cover starting the car?
And the other way of stopping?
What's the other way of stopping?
Throwing it in reverse, that's, that would do it, you're right, that would do it
Erm, alright you want to start the car?
Uh, Mrs. Webb you just turned on the lights, you want to start the car
They all look alike, don't they?
No, I don't know why they design them that way
Erm, alright let's pull out into traffic
Now, what's the first thing we're going to do before we pull out into 
traffic?
What did Mr. Adams do before he let you pull out into traffic?
Well, I mean besides praying lets say
No, what I had in mind was checking the rear view mirror
You see we always want to check the rear
DON'T PULL OUT !!!
Erm, please don't cry
I'm sorry... but there was this bus, Mrs. Webb
Oh, alright, the lane is clear is now, you want to pull out?
Oh, now that wasn't bad at all, you might try it a little slower next time
Alright, let's get up a bit more speed and gradually ease it into 
second

Well, I didn't want to cover reverse this early but as long as you have 
shifted into it
Of course you're nervous
I'm nervous!
I'm not just saying that, I'm really, I'm really very nervous
Well, just don't pay any attention to their honking You're doing fine
You're not blocking anyone's lane
No, as long as you are here on the safety island, you are not blocking 
anyone's lane

Oh, alright you want to start the car?
Oh, while you are turning the lights off, why don't you turn off the 
heater?
Alright, there we are, let's get up a bit of speed
That's the way
Now let's practice some turns. Um, the important thing on turns is not 
to make them too sharp, just kind of make a gradual
Now that was fine
That was a wonderful turn.
It's hard for me to believe you only had two lessons after you make a 
turn like
Are you sure you haven't had more now?
I find that very difficult to believe
One little thing
This is a one way street
Well, no, no, actually it was partially my fault, you see, but, uh, you 
were in the left hand lane and you were signaling left, and I just more 
or less assumed you were going to turn left.
SAME TO YOU, FELLA!!!

No, no, I don't know what he said Mrs. Webb
Um, alright let's pull into the alley up there, uh, and practice a little 
alley driving
This is uh, this is something a lot of the schools leave out and we 
think it is pretty
YOU'RE GOING TOO FAST MRS. WEBB!!!

You were up around sixty and that's kind of a sharp turn there
Alright, just drive down the alley, that's the way
Oh, Mrs. Webb, maybe we better stop here
Well, I don't think you are going to make it between the truck and the 
building
Mrs. Webb?
Mrs. Webb
I...
Mrs. Webb, I, I ...
I don't think you are going...
MRS. WEBB?.....
I real...
I...

I really didn't think you were going to MAKE IT....
That just shows we can be wrong too
No, no, I'll get out on your side, that's alright.

Oh, Mrs. Webb, uh, maybe it might be a good idea if we went over to 
the driving area. They have a student driver area over a few blocks 
away and maybe traffic throws you, maybe that's the problem
Well, turn here on the street
Right
And it's only about a block up...
Alright, turn right here
Well, now that was my fault again...
You see, I meant the next street. Not this man's lawn
Oh, sir, sir... sir, would you mind turning off the sprinkler?
For just a
Newly seeded?
Is that right?
That's always the way, isn't it? Ha! ha!...
I don't suppose it is so damn funny!...
Oh, alright Mrs. Webb, you want to back out and get off the man's
Creeping bent, is that right...
Yea, just back out, Mrs. Webb...
Thank you very much, sir for...

Oh, now we've hit someone Mrs. Webb
Oh, remember you're going to watch the rear view mirror, remember 
we covered that
The red light blinded you?
The flashing red light blinded you?
The flashing red light on the car you hit blinded you?

Yes, officer, she was just telling me about it
Um, alright
Alright, erm, Mrs. Webb
I am going to have to go with the officer to the police station
Erm, they don't believe it and they'd like, they'd like me to describe it
And now the other officer is going to get into the car and he is going 
to drive you back to the driving school and then you are to meet us at 
the police station.

Erm, my name is Frank Dexter, Mrs Webb
Why do you ask?
You want to be sure and get me next time?
