DIARY OF A DRIVING INSTRUCTOR
BOSTON / METROWEST AREA

So yes I was a MA Certified driving instructor for a while. Each day I would pick up a foreigner or high school student at their home, and teach them how to drive [ to the next student's home]. This would repeat all day.

For sure I was privy to some harrowing adventures, and yes I almost died several times, but I visited some amazing places, and my brain is now a detailed atlas of the Boston area. I now know what kind of drivers are out there, and probably should have the best car insurance from now on. I don't know if that's a fair trade-off but there are a lot of good looking people in Miami.



I saw this abandoned ice cream truck once, but I didn't have my camera with me. It took me forever to find it again, but alas
Apparently this old guy's car blew up. He had a small house with a garage attached to it, no one was there when it went up, but it blew a hole in the roof... Crazy isht, you could see his burnt living room through the wreckage.
Prospect Hill Waltham
If you parked here, you could walk there > >
This is an old railroad bridge on some abandoned tracks just south of Natick, if not in Natick. I probably shouldn't have taken my student on a walk through the woods, but the show must go on.
This is an old stream that runs under the road. you could walk through under street and it was hella scary

These electric buses were built in the 60's and they still run, though perhaps they shouldn't. and he MBTA are crazy about taking photos. The bus driver actually got out and came up to me yelling as I took this
