21st November 2006 35th Driving lesson

Ok I am finally feeling like I am getting somewhere .. slowly. I want to be ready for my test soon still. Another good lesson today actually feel that I can pick out certain things that I need to improve on and other things that I can do well at last. First my instructor tests me on reading a number plate which I already knew and could just make it out maybe cos I knew it tho did admit it.

Things I need to improve on. Mirror checks the most common problem since lesson one and I still forget I still hate them I just can't check them enough and can't see point in checking them as often STILL. Second most common problem positioning mainly at roundabouts still look left too long and end up in middle of road. The other things include speed I sometimes go to fast up to junctions or roundabouts and gears sometimes rush them. The other thing I will add here is need to improve on reverse round corner tho today I did ok.

Another number plate test which was probably no where near required distance as I read it easily. First maneouver as usual reverse round corner I did observations well kept car slower the only thing I struggled with was the turning round the bend went bit wide but managed to correct it and straighten up ok. One of the better attempts. Turn in road I don't want to jinx myself by saying I am great at it, but today I did it and my instructor didn't say anything I did it on my own with no help (felt odd not being told anything)

Another number plate test which was hopefully slightly further than required distance which I could only just read. Went on dual carriageway 5th gear again slightly rushed with gears.

My instructor tells me I will be doing paralelle parking next lesson.
