Driving Lesson Number 8.

Well I have good news and bad news tonight. The bad news is that I'm having to chance instructors and cars next week. :'-( My current instructor is having to move me because she's finding it hard to fit 2 of us in because we're in a different area to the rest of her learners. Anyway, next week I'll be going from a petrol Hyundai Getz to a diesel Renault Clio! I'm not sure what colour it is, black I think, so I'll have to keep an eye out when he's due. I'd like to thank Liz for all that she's shown me and for giving me the confidence to get behind the wheel in the first place! She says I've come on leaps and bounds in the last couple of months and I shall be eternally grateful to her for her marvellous help in getting me this far!

Anyway, onto the good news! I finally managed a 3 point turn (as well as a 5 point turn... oops...) tonight AND a parallel park eventually, but by heck that was hard to do! I couldn't seem to get into the bay without hitting the kerb! I got there though and felt such a rush of achievement that I had to smile to myself. Oh yeah, and I NAILED that Tesco roundabout tonight too! Woohoo!!

Right, next week will be all change so we'll see what it brings and if I remember all I've been taught so far! Fingers crossed...
