Driving Lesson Number 11.

Yikes!! 11 lessons already, which means I've been learning for 3 months because I've had 2 breaks in all that time due to various reasons!

Well my instructor ticked me off on crossroads last week (which obviously means I'm doing ok with them) and this week he's ticked off turn in the road (or as my husband would shout, "It's a 3 point turn!")

There wasn't an awful lot of progress made today actually as I managed to get stuck behind a bus who was obviously running early and very kindly stopped at the bottom of a hill/bend so I couldn't see round him to see if there was anything coming!! Cue Ailsa sitting at the bottom of a hill like a lemon, watching idiots coming from the side trying to sneak ROUND the bus without being able to see the cars coming the other way!! Eejits. At that point I really thought I was going to witness an accident, but thankfully, it didn't materialise.

So anyway, we managed to get where we wanted to be about 20 minutes before my lesson was due to end (after the bus made 2 more stops, one on a hill!!) and I did 2 more turns in the road on a slight hill before heading home. As my instructor said, not exactly how it was planned, but I overcame a few obstacles along the way, having to do a hillstart and judging speeds when pulling out onto a main road.

There won't be an update next week because my instructor is away so I think I'll have a week of intense theory revision. Well, I'll try anyway...
