Driving Car Cars Study

Many years ago I answered an ad which was soliciting female driving instructors. It was curious to me, even then, that there was a demand specifically for female driving instructors, as opposed to any sexed instructors. I wonder, even now, if the whole thing was an affirmative action program. Regardless, I answered the ad and began a short-lived career as an instructor. When I showed up to the job on the first day, I informed the manager that I was one of the 10 female driving instructors that had been recently hired. He looked at me with confusion and quickly told me that female driving instructors were not allowed in the company, and he wondered where I had gotten my information from. I told him the story, that I had taken an online test and had scored in the top 7 percentile, which subsequently had led to my hiring. I was also thinking in the back of my head that this company was totally screwed up, first soliciting females and then rejecting them upon arrival. However, after much debate and confusion (not to mention the company's fear of insurance groups and my threats to report their actions to the authorities) I started my first day. The job was simple enough, and teaching people how to drive isn't as difficult as it may sound. The hardest part is overcoming the fear of being in the car with a horrible driver. This didn't happen to me often, but when it did I merely asked the student to stop and I would drive back to the headquarters where I would explain that the person had failed and they must start back at the beginning. This was never much appreciated by the manager, which was the same manager who tried to deny my employment. He was then required to take on the flunkies. But I didn't care much, since he had tried to screw me over from the beginning. I had later found out that he was lying about the company not hiring women, and that he just didn't like the way that I looked. That was grounds enough to send him as many mediocre drivers as possible. He once ended up with a driver that proceeded to run over a bike rider. It was a horrible event, and the manager never did get over the trauma. I hate to repeat it, but they do say what goes around comes around.
