Tonight is the night. I am completing an executive chauffeur course. What a blast it has been. Not that I plan to pursue a career as an executive chauffeur, I just wanted to learn the driving skills (i.e. how to do high speed escapes, ultra-sharp turns, 180 degree turns, etc). A limo is surprisingly agile. The only problem I have now is remembering that even if I can take sharp corners at high speed I probably shouldn’t (I am sensing a traffic ticket in my future for some reason).
Anyway, I thought this was sufficiently mindless and pointless enough to share.
For me the school happened to be local, so out of the phone book. So you could see if there is a body guard or chauffeur school in your area. Failing that you could search on the 'net for chauffeur training and try to find someplace close to you. It isn’t the same as stunt driver school (that was the very first words out of the instructor’s mouth after saying hello). We don’t learn how to flip a car for example, or do a lot of things that stunt men do. Executive chauffeuring is about escaping pursuit, ramming pursuing cars off the road, and a LOT of different types of turns.
I passed by the way. Glitch is now a certified executive chauffeur.
