But I agree with "someone other than dad." You can say all the right things but sometimes someone says it differently and it sinks in better or is more memorable.
Not so much saying it better or differently, as without parent baggage.

Also, my observation with a lot of parent teachers is that it’s been too long since they learned or taught. Probably less of an issue for carmudgeons, but my Dad was absolutely an awful driving coach.
