Fasten your seat belt

Manny Kantryve, a nervous sixteen-year-old high school student, is getting hisfirst lesson with Mr. Rhodekil.

Narrator: Manny unlocks the car door and gets into the vehicle
Mr. Rhodekil: Manny! Unlock the door for me please; I can't get in!
Manny: Oh right...sorry.
Narrator: Manny unlocks the passenger door and Mr. Rhodekil climbs in
Mr. Rhodekil: All right then, what's the first thing a driver must do when he gets into a vehicle? What must we do with the mirrors?
Manny: Clean them?
Mr. Rhodekil: Besides cleaning them. Adjust the mirrors! That's the
first thing you should do.
Manny: Oh yeah, yeah, now I remember.
Narrator: Manny reaches for the rearview mirror and adjusts it and the side mirror on the driver's side.
Manny: Mr. Rhodekil, can you please move the passenger side mirror?
Mr. Rhodekil: Sure thing son, which direction do you want me to move it?
Manny: How about a little to the right... O.K., Stop! That 's good.
Now, just a tad up. There, perfect!
Mr. Rhodekil: Ok then Manny, fasten your seat belt, and slide your seat forward just a little. Manny; it seems to me that you're a bit too far back.
Manny: Is that good?
Mr. Rhodekil: Yes, that's much better. All right Manny, start her up!

Narrator: Manny shifts to reverse and puts the key into the ignition and starts the car

Mr. Rhodekil: Good job son, good job. Now before you shift into
reverse, press down on the brake pedal fully.
Manny: This one?
Mr.Rhodekil: No, not that one! That's the accelerator! The other one
Manny, the other one!
Mr. Rhodekil: O.K. Now, slowly, let go of the brake pedal.
Mr. Rhodekil: I said SLOWLY, SLOWLY! What is it with you, can’t you follow a simple order?
Manny: S-Sorry sir.
Mr. Rhodekil: All right then, now that we are out of the driveway, turn the steering wheel to the right, but keep your foot on the brakes…
