I took my lessons with Pat Kleinbrook. How fortunate for me to get such a wonderful instructor. I have been putting off taking lessons for years as I was scared to death. I did drive the Alaska Hwy years ago for 1/2 hour when my husband stopped at a pullout & said “ok you’re turn”. He gave me a brief run down of what to do. So practically no one on the road so I was good. Then was nearing bridge construction so that was the end of my driving. Hadn’t been behind the wheel since. I wasn’t comfortable learning from my husband.

At the NKK rally I sat in on your seminars which I enjoyed. Then I thought if so many women drive, it couldn’t be that difficult. So the rest is history.

Pat was so calming & made me feel very comfortable. She is very knowledgeable of driving big rigs. I honestly did not believe I would ever feel that relaxed behind the wheel of our RV. How could that possibly happen in a matter of hours? It was all Pat. I’m not sure how I would have done with an aggressive instructor. We have a 2001 Mountainaire. The steering radius is not great. Pat worked thru that with me. I drove the freeway, I drove thru towns, I drove down streets. She taught me turns & backing & parking. Her tone is what an instructor should use with students. I’m hoping my husband will adopt her tone.

I am so grateful that Pat was my instructor. I would highly recommend her. I can now confidently share the driving on our travels.

After my lesson was completed, Bob hooked up our Jeep & had me drive around the parking lot to get the feel of a toad. Yet another experience but I have a good understanding of towing a vehicle.

Thank you for providing this service at our rallies.
