Driving School - the good old days

This popped up on iPlayer - I hadn't seen the original:

Episodes four and five (and six) include some Hendon stuff. Just going to prove that people with moustaches do better than those without - the only student who struggled didn't have one: it's the science.

Also showing that Pull-Push wasn't the only way to steer.
And a double ADI lesson for only £25!

Ah the old Nokia ring tone...
Streetwise Driving School. Pamela Carr speaking. How may I help you.

It's like a really bad earworm.

Hendon relocated to Thames Valley!

I found it annoying to cope with it switching backwards and forwards between learners and the police course.

I was interested in the police using fixed grip steering for high speed through the cones. The instructors whole body had to move to let him achieve enough steering - I didn't see a strategy for coping if more steering was needed than fixed grip.

Used full offside before a left-hander where we couldn't see a vision benefit and the instructor comment was about the angle of steering needed.

I think the cradle car is history in this era of ESP etc - does anyone know otherwise?
