Life in the Fast Lane: A Celebrity Driving Instructor's Sunday Routine
For Patricia Morgan, who has spent two decades teaching Hollywood's elite how to master the roads of Los Angeles, Sundays are a carefully orchestrated blend of serenity and preparation. As one of the most sought-after driving instructors in Beverly Hills, her weekdays are filled with teaching nervous A-listers and their children how to navigate everything from parallel parking to freeway merging.
Morgan's Sunday routine begins at dawn, long before the city's usual traffic chaos ensues. "There's something magical about driving through Los Angeles at 6 AM on a Sunday," she explains. "It's when I can truly appreciate the city's beauty and plan my week ahead."
Her typical Sunday includes:
- Early morning drive through Mulholland Drive to check road conditions and potential challenges for upcoming lessons
- Breakfast at a quiet café in Studio City, where she reviews her client schedule
- Vehicle maintenance and safety checks on her dual-control instruction car
- Afternoon meditation sessions to maintain the patience required for high-pressure celebrity instruction
- Evening preparation of customized lesson plans for upcoming VIP clients
Despite her high-profile clientele, Morgan maintains a down-to-earth approach to her profession. "Whether I'm teaching an Oscar winner or a teenager, the fundamentals of safe driving remain the same," she says. "Sundays help me center myself and remember that at its core, my job is about helping people gain confidence and independence."
As the sun sets on her day of preparation, Morgan takes one final drive along the Pacific Coast Highway. "It's my way of reconnecting with why I love what I do," she reflects. "There's nothing quite like the freedom of the open road, and that's what I hope to share with all my students, famous or not."
