Driving Lesson Number 6.

Well this weeks lesson went FAR better than the last!

I felt so much more relaxed, (possibly because of the amount of stress drops I took beforehand!) so my driving was MUCH better! I still managed to stall a few times,but not outside my own house when I came home, although I did have to reverse for the first time after ending up on the kerb! Oops!

I stalled a couple of times at a pedestrian crossing because I didn't release the handbrake fast enough, but thank you to the kindly gentleman and his son for not walking out in front of me while I was trying to get going again! It was much appreciated.

I managed to get out of a set traffic lights onto a main road perfectly, (no kangaroo or anything!) but then forgot to speed up fast enough to keep up with the 40 mph speed limit, so that's something else I'll have to remember for future use if I want to stand a chance of passing!

I'm not sure, but I think I seem to be doing better when I'm driving in daylight rather than night, so hopefully I should come on leaps and bounds during the Summer months! Although that could just be a coincidence so I guess only time will tell...

I can't wait till next week now! Although I may be starting to learn some manouvres so everyone keep out of my way please!

    No? You only take 3 or 4 drops at a time anyway, and I take them about half an hour before I even go out, with a drink. Non alcoholic of course!
