Old driving instructors and lessons!!!


Recommended Posts

Middlewood School of motoring in the 70s.

Great guy, even if I have forgotten hiis name, used to live at Worrell.

Knew I supported United so always took me past Hillsborough Saturday afternoons about 5o'clock to see the long blue and white faces.

 

The chap was David Walker.

When I first learnt to drive i Was taught by Stan Weinwright on Infirmary Road ,When approaching a steep hill Stan would say "get thi revs up "so as to get up the hill a little better , he would also tell me to double de clutch and so on .

The driving test must be a lot easier these days now that cars drive themselves.

 

I was taught by Keith Wainwright in the mid 70s. Still see him today on odd occasions.

Ex landlord of the Florist at Walkley.
