teaching

I will be teaching soon. Well, more or less.

In Belgium, if you want to get your driver's license, you have to pass a theoretical exam, where you have to prove you know the code. After that, you have to start practicing, and do a practical exam. To practice for you practical exam, you have three options:

  1. go to a driving school, pay a lot of money for 20 hours of training, drive with a car for at least three months on your own, and go do an exam
  2. go to a driving school, pay less money for much less training (though I'm not sure exactly how much less), drive a car for at least six months with someone teaching you (usually, someone of your family, but that's up to you), and go do an exam
  3. do not go to a driving school, drive a car for at least nine months with someone teaching you how, and go do an exam.

I did the last thing and received my license in 1997, which makes me eligible to fill the teacher role; you have to have a driver's license for at least 5 years to be. Since one of my two youngest brothers (they're twins) just passed the theoretical exam, and my father would prefer not doing this, I'll be teaching him how to drive.

Let's see how it goes.
