GTR-N1 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 when my mother was learning to drive, granddad made her learn how to change a tyre before she got to learn to drive. of course now that she's had surgery on both of her hands she no longer has the strength to be able to change a tyre, but she still knows what to do,... So this means > if I marry your sister > we take your mum for a drive > get a flat > I get the privilege of having my mother in law telling me what to do as I change the wheel? 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/420853-should-schools-teach-kids-how-to-fix-cars/page/2/#findComment-6770480 Share on other sites More sharing options...

33GTRV Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Our high schools have a class devoted to mechanics, both petrol and diesel.

badben Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) Kids these days are slack, Knowing how to change a tyre, come on every car has a manuel. If one cant they shouldnt be driving. Just the other day across the road from the job site I'm on, this young bloke on his P's called road side assistants to change his tyre. He could possibly of had dirtphobia Edited March 6, 2013 by badben Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/420853-should-schools-teach-kids-how-to-fix-cars/page/2/#findComment-6775026 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toobad Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Agreed, Definately think that atleast Yr11 and Yr12 get the opportunity to atleast learn the basics or atleast be able to change a spare tyre... Some schools also have Driver Development Programs, which I think would be a worthwhile investment Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/420853-should-schools-teach-kids-how-to-fix-cars/page/2/#findComment-6775465 Share on other sites More sharing options...

c34Florry Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) I wemt to a high school in adelaide and did auto studies in year 9 amd 10. People used to donate cars and when we had cars of our own we were allowes to bring them in, throw them on the hoist change the oils and all that jazz.. pulled down a few old holden motors, learned how they worked and rebuilt them etc. Then the school tried to go all academic from technical and sucked balls then went super ghetto.. fun times Edited April 15, 2014 by c34Florry 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/420853-should-schools-teach-kids-how-to-fix-cars/page/2/#findComment-7259001 Share on other sites More sharing options...
