A stunned driving instructor watched her student turn right onto E. Stadium from Washtenaw this morning and run smack into a sign on the corner. "Slow up, slow up," Jean Kassell, a teacher for six months at the Academy Driving School in Detroit, told the student, who had been out driving for 15 minutes. But not even the instructor’s own steering wheel and brake could stop the accident. Mrs. Kassell sent the student home in a taxicab and waited for a wrecking crew to...uh, remove the car. "This is not good advertising," she said.
