HY kan bestuur. Hy kan in \u2019n japtrap parkeer. En van koppelaarbeheer, 360\u00b0<\/span>-observasie en K53 kan hy jou alles vertel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeffreysbaai bestuurinstrukteur Dirk van Deventer (72) is op sy gelukkigste agter die stuurwiel van sy wit Toyota \u2013 of, meer spesi- fiek, net neffens daarvan met \u2019n senuweeagtige leerlingbestuurder in die drywerstoel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Van Deventer, die oudste bestuurinstrukteur in Kouga, indien nie in die Oos-Kaap nie, het al meer as 25 000 bestuurslesse op sy kerfstok en het oor die afgelope twee dekades nagenoeg 1 500 leerders gehelp om hul bestuur-lisensie te kry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meeste daarvan met die eerste probeerslag. Hy spog met \u2019n indrukwekkende 99%-slaagsyfer. Diegene wat nie \u2019n geldige rybewys met die eerste probeerslag gekry het nie, erken ruiterlik dat dit hul eie skuld was \u2013 \u00f3f die motor het agteruit gerol of hulle het een van die hindernisse in die parkeertoetsarea gestamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy geheim? Vir hom gaan dit nie oor die geld nie, maar oor die veiligheid van bestuurders en passasiers op die pad. Di\u00e9 dat hy altyd net sy beste gee. Of dit nou agt of 20 lesse neem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n Een oproep te veel<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dirk, wat vir jare aan die verkeersdepartement in Port Elizabeth en Humansdorp verbonde was en op vroe\u00eb pensioen gegaan het, het 25 jaar terug sy uniform vir die van sy eie bestuurskool \u2013 Dirk Driving School \u2013 verruil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Met \u2019n goeie hupstoot van sy vrou, Selina van Deventer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy lag: \u201cNa hy my 32 keer in een maand van die huisfoon gebel het, het ek besluit hier trek ek die streep. So kan dit nie aangaan nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy het dadelik daad by woord gevoeg, en begin rondbel om uit te vind wat gedoen moet word om \u2019n bestuurskool op die been te bring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVoor hy sy o\u00eb kon uitvee, moes hy vir die verpligte leerlinglisensie- en bestuurstoets gaan om \u2019n bestuurskool oop te maak.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vandag is hy bly sy vrou was so voor op die wa<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n Vol selfvertroue<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dirk, wat glad nie vir groentjie-bestuurders skrik nie en senuwees van staal het, is \u2019n bestuurinstrukteur was sorg dat al sy leerders vol selfvertroue by \u2019n toetssentrum instap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk raak altyd so trots as my leerders met \u2019n bre\u00eb glimlag daar uitstap met \u2019n wettige lisensie in die hand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy beduie met sy hande in die lug: \u201cEk laat al my leerders eers sekere tegnieke onder die knie kry voor ek hulle pad toe vat: stop, wegtrek, ratte-wisseling, observasies en hoe om in die verkeer in te beweeg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNiks word half gedoen nie. Eers wanneer ek heeltemal tevrede is, sal daar na die volgende stap aanbeweeg word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk is streng met hulle, maar nie onredelik nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hoeveel lesse neem dit voor jy \u2019n \u2018deskundige\u2019 agter die stuurwiel is? \u201cMense wat nog nooit voorheen bestuur het nie, het tot twintig lesse nodig. Diegene wat kan bestuur, benodig agt tot tien lesse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cParty mense leer vinniger as ander.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n Baie koek en \u2018tannies\u2019<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy leerders wissel van jonk tot oud \u2013 met die oudste leerder \u2019n 66 jarige vrou wat nog nooit bestuur het nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHaar man wou nie h\u00ea dat sy agter die stuurwiel inskuif nie, maar met sy afsterwe het sy die motor ge\u00ebrf,\u201d s\u00ea hy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

En Dirk was die ideale persoon om haar te leer bestuur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy is net een van vele ouer dames wat by hom vir bestuurslesse kom aanklop het \u2013 sommige wat nooit bestuur het nie, en ander wat vergeet het hoe om te bestuur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elke nuwe ouer kli\u00ebnt het \u2019n heerlike tuisgebakte koek beteken. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dirk glimlag ondeund: \u201cAan die begin het ons so baie koeke gekry, dat dit \u2019n wonderwerk is dat ons nie vreeslik vet geword het nie.<\/span>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy het verder twee vroue met disleksie gehelp om hul rybewys te bekom. Iets wat hulle onmoontlik geag het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMet die regte leiding, kan enige persoon \u2019n geldige rybewys bekom. Inligting moet so oorgedra word dat die leerder dit kan verstaan en suksesvol toepas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dan is daar ook die broers, susters, neefs, niggies, kinders en kleinkinders van vorige leerders wat na hom vir lesse kom. En as hulle moet wag, wag hulle. Want daar is geen ander instrukteur waarheen hulle wil gaan nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As \u2019n bonus, leer hy sy leerders die wette van die pad \u2013 hy is trouens \u2019n kenner op die gebied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy bied ook leerlinglisensie-klasse aan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n Die soet en suur<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dirk, wat nog nooit \u2019n ongeluk met een van sy leerders agter die stuur gehad het nie, s\u00ea dit is vir hom die lekkerste om mense te leer wat glad nie kan bestuur nie \u2013 om te sien hoe hulle les-vir-les vorder tot waar hulle hul lisensie kry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die slegste? Ongeduldige motoriste wat aanhoudend op hul toeters l\u00ea al is daar \u2019n groot leerlingbestuurder-plakker agter op die motor. \u201cGelukkig is hulle in die minderheid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En die moeilikste? Diegene wat dink hulle het net \u2019n les of twee nodig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit is nie net vir inklim en bestuur nie. Daar is die K53, die 360\u00b0<\/span>-observasie, die aansitmetode en die buite- en binne-inspeksie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSlegs die aansitmetode bestaan uit nege stappe: trap die rem in, laat sak die handrem, trek die handrem op, sit die voertuig in neutraal en draai die sleutel \u2013 maar die enjin mag nie aangaan nie. Volgende maak seker al die waarskuwingsligte en ander liggies werk, verseker die outomatiese smoorklep is af en sit jou veiligheidsgordel aan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDan eers kan die voertuig aangeskakel wor<\/span>d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy raad aan voornemeende leerders? \u201cDit neem tyd om aan alles gewoond te raak, wees geduldig. Let op en vra vrae as daar iets is wat jy nie verstaan nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n Toekoms<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dirk, wat elke oggend voor sy eerste bestuursles in die tuin werk, dink nog glad nie daaraan om sy motorsleutels op te hang nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As dit van sy vrou af hang, gaan dit beslis nie binnekort gebeur nie. Daarvoor is hy hopeloos te besig, volgens haar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
