Driver's Ed, Jan 13th, Period 1-2

[dr-tommy.livejournal.com]

Tommy watches his students file in to the Danger Shop, which currently is set up to resemble a typical classroom, for the most part. He might look a little unnerved as he recalls how Wednesday's class went. At the front of the class, is this:



"Hello everyone!" He greets them, once everyone has sat down. "If you can just sign the roll sheet, we can get started. I'm Dr. Oliver, you can call me Dr. O if you want, and I'll be teaching you how to drive. Just to clarify, the type of vehicles we'll be learning to drive in this class are typical 21st-century automobiles, commonly known as cars."

He looks around at his assembled class. "Please tell me you've seen a car before," he asks. "Anyway, today's assignment? Get in the car, and just... try to get a feel for the controls. Since this is only a simulation, the car won't move, no matter how hard you press the gas pedal. So... go at it. And feel free to ask me any questions you might have."

Anders's first thought when he gets behind the wheel is that he's kind of sorry the steering wheel makes it too cramped to fit two people in the driver's seat. His second thought is that hey, it looks pretty much exactly like cars back home, except that the numbers and units on the instrument panel are different; he might have to figure out unit conversions and that kind of scares him.

He turns the wheel experimentally a few times, works the gas, brake, and clutch, and plays with the gearshift and signal light lever -- yep, almost exactly like cars back home. Hopefully this shouldn't be too hard. Right?

. . . right?

Tommy watches Anders figure out the controls, feeling just the slightest bit of relief at the fact that he's yet to ask any... interesting... questions.
