Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's some Mrvihy Salmon Jody after the show podcast where
we keep on going afterwards and then just kind of
hang out a little bit later.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Okay, we're about to connect with my uncle Terry, who
is a retired police officer who spent some time with
our tailor the other day giving her some tricks and
tips on driving, which I really wanted him to do,
and he gave us a couple.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Couple hours and you learned something too.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
We did learn a lot, actually, I think I feel
like I did, but I can't remember what one thing
is called that he taught us, and I really want
him to, well, tell us what it's.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Called, trail something, But yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Rain it again. So let's get Uncle Terry on the phone.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Hello.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Hey, it's Jody. Hey and Sam Hello. Oh you laugh
as soon as Sam has says hello, that was easy.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
It was the way I delivered it.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
How are you good?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Look, I just we wanted to take a couple of
minutes of your time because we've been telling him, telling
everybody out you're amazingly excellent driving lessons that you did
for tailor that we learned a lot from too. But
what I can't remember is what the trail thing is called.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Yeah, and I forgot you. No, it's not a contral.
It's what you know, when the back tire leads to
front tire. What is that called trail over? Trail over? Okay,
trail over?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
So Uncle Terry, would you like to explain to Sam
what trailover is because when it comes to driving stuff,
I have no I can't articulate.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Yeah, trailover is whenever you turn your car to go
around something such as another vehicle, and as you turn
you want to miss whatever you're going around. Yeah, for
at least you know a foot, because we know what
an eight foot wheelbase, you're going to have at least
a foot a trail over coming up behind it with
(01:50):
the back tire. So if you'll get away from it
at least a foot with the front tire, you'll miss
it with the back tire.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Oh okay, you get.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Closer than that and you're just gonna skim by it
with the front tire, then the back wheel is going
to hit it because it has a trail over effect
because it comes closer to, you know, the point that
you met with the front tire.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
So once you perfect this, you can whip into a
parking spot at sixty miles an hour.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
That's correct. Well, yeah, as soon as you perfect that,
like A told Taylor, yes, I mean you could put
a piece of paper between it and make it. But
who wants to be that close? Yeah, you know you're
a couple of inches and yeah, well at twelve twelve
inch period, So we always make it about a put
because not many vehicles over that, and if it is,
(02:38):
then just make allowance for it.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yeah, and for me, it hasn't been about other vehicles.
It's been curb clipping in the past.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah, it's funny.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
You have to get away from it with that front
tire something that you.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Know, you know to do it once you've been driving
a long time. But I didn't know that there was
any way to articulate it, you know. And one of
the things that I said along the way to tailors
that you're driving the whole car, not just the front.
You have to think about the back of the car too.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Where it's going to go.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I thought that was more her language, but yeah, trail,
I couldn't remember it, like all morning, I couldn't remember
what it was called.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Well, the back.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Wheel will run over? What it is that you get
too close of you know, if you don't get far
enough away, So it's you just remember trail over it,
you'll run over it. So trail over, gotcha?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yeah? Well, has Taylor called and asked any questions yet?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
No?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I didn't think so.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I have a question. And this is probably not good
for driving school. But since you were teaching this and
you are you are a former police officer, were you
ever able to do that maneuver where you drive real fast,
hit the brakes and use fishtail and spin and keep
on going, you know, like they do in the movies.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Yeah, yeah. We never got into power slide and Sam,
but you know, it always seemed like a fun thing
and I wanted to try it. No, never did, okay,
but on purpose but accidentally. Yeah, I'll tell you on
the side, I did. One time. We they put a
new set of brakes on one of the police cars
(04:20):
and it happened to be a state police because we
used to teach them too. But they put the new
set of brakes on it and they didn't burn them
in and they didn't tell me. So I took all
about ninety miles an hour, and when I got ready
to hit the brakes they locked up. So there we
went around and round and around until the far came
to a stop. So that was fun because I had
(04:40):
a full of new trooper cadets.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
You got their attention, didn't you. Yeah, well they wanted
out of the car right after that. Can we get
out now?
Speaker 4 (04:50):
So you don't get to change your pants till we
get back?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
You know what I'll I always known that you taught
other police officers driving. You taught the new police officers,
you know, police driving. And how did that happen for you?
Did they come to you and go, look, you're the
best driver we've got or did you have to go
through a program? I never asked that question.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Yeah, we went through. What I told Taylor yesterday, there's
a national drivers people out there and it's called NAPD
National Academy of Professional Drivers. And they came to be
RPD and said, would y'all like to learn this, and
so said, you know, we have so many fleet accidents
that sure, we'd like to do anything to keep down
(05:37):
the accidents. So they learned it and then when they
sent me through the first time I went through the
school was when I probably had three years on the
departments when they started it, and as soon as I
went through the school, I said, I got to do this.
So I put a letter of application into the chief
immediately asked could I become an instructor? Which cost you
(05:58):
guys back bears five hundred dollars per person for us
to go through wow, way back in them days. So yeah,
it was. I thought it'd be a lot of fun,
so I wanted to be a part of it, so
I did it for about fifteen years, half of my career.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
There's almost nothing you could ask him about driving that
he couldn't answer something, you know, but of course my
mind is blank. I feel like I know, I already
know it all with You know, what, what was it
that I did with my wrist in the car? You
told me that I had put my wrist facing me,
which is dangerous on the steering wheel.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Yeah, you look at the inside of your wrist rather
than the outside of your wrist by putting your hand
under the wheel and grabbing a hold of it where
you can see all your fingernails.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Well, and you know one of the reasons is if
you get in a crash and that air bag pops out,
you're going to do what you naturally do is hang
on the steering wheel as hard as you can because
you see, you know whatever coming up. When you hit something,
that air bag is going to break your wrist to
where if you have it holding the wheel where you
see the back of your fingers, it's gonna knock your
(07:03):
hand loose. Yeah, and there's reasons I'm gonna.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Think about it when I put my hands on the
steering wheel today. I definitely learned that from you.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
By the way, did you notice I didn't tell your
daughter you did that.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Oh, it's okay, she'll be watching me now. She'll be
throwing that knowledge at me now. Yeah, you know what
she told us when you left yesterday.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
So one of the things the other day, one of
the things we did, Sam was we had Taylor in
a big parking lot. We put some cones out and
Uncle Terry explained to her about driving a go all
the way around and come back and back your car
into this spot, and he taught her a lot about
you know, the trail over and all that.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Well.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
It was one of the only times she only has
her permit right now. It's one of the only times
she had ever We never see her drive away from
us in that car by herself. Yeah, and I was like,
look at her. And anyway, later she told me, she said, Mom,
when I was driving it by myself in the parking lots,
that I felt more confident because somebody wasn't like watching
me in the car.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
That makes sense, and it doesn't hurt for y'all to
keep going there and practicing that.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Yeah, your practice the.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Better and just find one where she's not being watched
like that back parking, right, and uh, you'd be good.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Yeah, you can do donuts without being watched.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
That's not a good idea of sums why Sam will
be coming with us for these train don't you, Taylor.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Let's see what the new to Nally will do.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Okay, Well, thank you for your time.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
You're welcome, all right, I love you. I love you
too
