throughaphaseToday the students would find themselves in an everyday sort of suburban neighborhood. With plenty of everyday sorts of cars behind them... if everyday sorts of cars had bumpers on them.
"This unit has been all about transportation and getting around in places that don't have rickshaws," Kitty said, and she sounded only a little stuffed up. "Because in case you haven't noticed, most places don't have rickshaws. Most places have cars. You drive them, you call or hail other people to drive cars for you, and it's the most common way to get from Point A to Point B in this time, in this country. And there are plenty of rules that go along with driving, way too many to cover in one class, but I'm gonna let you try it anyway."
In her defense, she'd planned this pre-cold, when she figured she'd be a better supervisor.
"Now come on over here, and I'll show you how to work the car," Kitty said, opening the door to one and getting in the driver's seat to demonstratrate. Once she'd gone over the basics of how to make the car go and turn and stop, and also what stop signs and stop lights were, she got back out and said, "You're all going to get in one of the cars and try it yourself. This is by no means a real driving course, so don't take it as one. In this class, if you get into what would be a minor accident or a fender bender, the bumpers mean there won't be any damage to you or the car. If you get into something more serious, the simulation will end, and you still won't get hurt. Any questions?"
