Bob Newhart: The Driving Instructor
Legendary deadpan comedian Bob Newhart and his famous monologue "The Driving Instructor"
This is an audio only YouTube video and the quality isn't very good unfortunately. There was a much better clip of this on YouTube which I used to feature here but it got removed for copyright reasons - however, I get so many people ending up here looking for this monologue by Bob Newhart, that this is better than nothing!

...or for a better version (which you get to keep!) why not download "The Driving Instructor" by Bob Newhart on mp3? It's not expensive!

Go Drive Yourself!
It is essential that a driving instructor is calm and patient at all times...
This is NOT how real driving instructors behave...(well, it's not how any of the ones who work for me behave anyway or they'd be finding themselves a new job!)
...but I have a sneaking suspicion that the reactions of this guy mirror what goes on inside the heads of many driving instructors every now and again no matter how much they smile reassuringly and say "Let's just try that one more time"... ;)
