Teaching middle aged, nervous adults to drive could be very rewarding.

Teaching 17 year old, glue sniffing, gangsta rap lads to drive could be a total nightmare, for all but the very thick skinned, or foolhardy.

Become a driving instructor for a franchise like BSM.

Buy Noddy's car and call yourself Mary. What a wonderful life that would be.

What you do is scatter some bubble gum from the screwballs on the ground around your van. Your assailant will slip over them and be rendered harmless.

franchises

Working on my plan B after listening to the advice of MilanBenes. Anyone considered franchises as a plan B? If so, which ones? I'm quite tempted by a bit of wheelie bin cleaning myself...
