Author Biography

I have driven for more than fifty years -- from farm equipment to cars and over-the-road eighteen-wheel "Big-Rig" tractor-trailer trucks, long distance. I have driven on the left-hand side of the road in New Zealand, Australia and Great Britain. I have driven on the right-hand side of the road in Canada, the USA, Mexico, Central America and Europe. I have been a professional driving instructor, teaching driver education to many young people. I have also made confident drivers out of older people who, despite attempts to learn to drive, had failed to gain from their previous instructors the skill or confidence needed to pass the test. My other qualifications are that I have taught my children and grandchildren to drive and we all enjoyed the experience.
