Driving Lesson Update

After 30 lessons and after spending a fortune I could do the following comfortably and (80%) confidently:

Start the car (hah hah!!)

Reverse park, turn in the road and reverse in a corner

Drive in the middle of the road

Drive in all types of weather conditions (fog and mist; rain and sleet)

Steer and change gear at the same time

Approach a junction

Approach and manoeuvre around a roundabout

Stop and start in a traffic light (more hah, hah!!)

Park, stop the car and switch engines off (hah hah!!)

I am reading the Highway Code (yawn!!). I need to pass the Theory Test before I could book a Practical Driving test. To be honest brain is hurting—cause: information overload.

My driving instructor is still the best. Although there was one time that he was in a mood. This affected me so much that I panicked and I was a train wreck after the lesson. I will mention the incident to him once I passed my driving test ;-). And, my driving instructor smells nice. I think this is very important especially that we are in a confined space for an hour!!!!

I am still afraid but “I feel the fear and do it anyway”!!
