get a driver's licence
than it used to be. She
thinks that 16 years of age
is "plenty young" to have
one's licence.
"It takes maturity to be
a good driver and lots of
kids at 16 just don't have
that maturity. Parents
don't help their kids
enough either. Once a kid
gets his; licence, a lot of
parents just say, "here'=s'
the keys, good-bye",
without ever having
driven with him before."
Most of the students
who take lessons from
her have driven before.
About a quarter of them
have. never been out
driving before, she says.
While she may have them
drive 'around the back
streets for awhile, she
like; -to get them out into
the main stream of traffic
as soon as possible.
She has no specific
route that she takes her
students on but she likes
to take them through both
set? of traffic lights in
town from all angles so it
becomes necessary to
repeat the same routes
sometimes and this
becomes boring.
The job gets easier for
her the longer she does it
though because she gets
to know ahead of time
what each student will do
at each corner and street.
Many of them make the
same mistakes, she
explains.
City 'driving is a' whole
different ball game, says
MrsL Tolchard and she
thinks it is a good idea for
the new driver to drive
around the city with
someone more ex-
perienced in driving
before attempting it on
his.own.

GOOD COURSE
The Driver's Education
course requires eight
hours of driving, several
hours of --observation and
25 hours of classroom
instrtl'ction with an
average of 80 per cent on
all written tests. Mrs.
Tolchard teaches in a
classroom at G.D.C.I.
once a week and does in -
car instruction for 25
students or more three
times a week, with one
student driving and a few
more observing. She has
had as many as -77 kids in.
one class and°says there
is always a backlog of
students wanting into the
course. She does some in -
car instruction through'
the Clinton high school as
well.
It's a good idea to take
the course, she says
because if you are a
graduate of it, you get a
reduction on your in-
surance. It's good from a
safety point of view too
because all the safety
rules are emphasized.
It's also a good idea to
learn to drive from
someone outside your
own family., says Mrs.
Tolchard (although she
has taught two of her own
daughters). Parents
.have a tendency to yell at
their kids and husbands
at their wives if they are
teaching them to drive.

PRIVATE
INSTRUCTION TOO
Mrs. Tolchard does
quite a bit of private
instructing in the sum-
mer when she is not
Driver's
with the
Education program
through the high school.
Those taking private
instruction are usually
older people and she uses
a different... teaching
technique with them. -
" Younger Ppeople are
easier to teach," she
says,"•but you have to
take a bit of confidence
away from them. They
think accidents will never
happen to them. But
older people have been
around more and have
seen more. They know
what can happen. You
have to build up their
confidence."
Mrs. Tolchard says
many of her students get
their licences the first
time- around but some
come to her for private
instruction if they don't
feel ready to take the
final test or if they take it
and fail.
Mrs.4Tolchard says it's
surprising the number of
people these days Who
