OCA DRIVE - Observation Communication Anticipation

21/08/2024

My office! 😅. Finding time between lessons to complete my Training Cert UpGrade😉
The Government has recently pushed for an industry overhaul to ensure quality training is delivered across the community. Training is like an endurance sport, as trainers we must keep our minds and bodies healthy for long days on the road, dealing with every kind of personality out there with traumas and anxiety’s attached, with unpredictable actions that we need to be ahead of, at the same time, manage the extreme danger of the roads and other road users and their aggression and impatience. We are multi faceted people, working for a safer driving culture. Please remember this when you see us 🙏
A shout out to all the trainers out there that care🙌👊

PS. I am parked off road, engine off, in a parking lot minding my own business in this shot.

A new day is dawning. Its an interesting thing about humans and their attachments, items that have no heart beat but seem to grow or die with us. Mirroring our existence.
My 2013 Nissan Pulsar ST top of the range 1.8L 7.2/100km with her leather interior, sun roof, all the bells and whistles of her time, she was very comfortable but became the oldest and most troublesome vehicle I ever owned for training, it’s like we were hit with disease and famine, but we soldiered on, 3 transmissions, multiple bad and crooked mechanics, 2 major personal life shifts and where my favourite soul in the world passed, Mocci my dog. Just a few weeks ago. Sitting at 2808.16km. We were trying to reach 3000! But alas, change was inevitable, its time to say goodbye. We moved as one, dancing and gliding through the streets, opens roads, highways, freeways across states. The source of my survival as a trainer, being my workhorse, 2nd home , office, and my escape companion and tool. Taking the good with the bad we drive on. Adventure awaits. A New Day Has Dawned. LETS GO! If you have ever had or have an attachment to your car, please share with me/us I’d love to hear your story🙏🥰

Another star pupil 💫 a result of team work between parents and teacher. I love it when I see parents commitment to giving their children the utmost attention, and give them professional lesson on top of their own learned experience, valuing potentially the biggest and most dangerous life skill that a lot of us in Australian society will ever know on a daily bases. Well done Alex, I’m so proud of you and I congratulate your parents too. Take care out there and gimme a toot on passing 😉👊🙏
