31st January 2007 45th Driving lesson
Lesson started well didn't over rev as much as last lesson, steering was a bit wrong as I was driving to close to middle of the road a few times. For some reason I forgot to change down gear a few times coming up to bends. I had to be dualled at a junction as I didn't check left. I keep putting hand brake on when theres no need I should use clutch control. I managed to get up to 55mph today.
First stop the test centre for eyesight test I was tested the first distance I would be asked on the test and couldn't quite read the number plate (there are only 3 cars there so I will try to memorise them all just to be on safe side) Turn in road first manoeuvre first go I only just got round in 3 turns second one was better. Parallel parking was on a narrow road so bit hard I had to turn wheel left then right twice to get in and didn't observe enough. Second one was better both times I managed to park ok so it is improving.
Kept braking without covering clutch a few times then needed petrol and stopped in petrol station without putting clutch down and stalled. Filled up with petrol again and did it exact, I can do it now. Back home my instructor had measured the required distance on some string and tested me on reading her cars number plate I had to walk back to end of the string so I did get to see the first 2 letters and the last letter my instructor was stood blocking the others I made sure I remembered them incase I couldn't see it from the distance. I did manage to read it all correctly (well I knew the numbers were 06 so I only had to read 2 letters which I could. My instructor then asked me if I could read another which looked a bit further away and I couldn't so she said she is not letting me book anymore lessons til I've been to opticians to see what they say despite my efforts she would not change her mind. I must of tried for at least 5 minutes. Anyway I have said it before and I will keep saying it I will NOT give in I know I can normally see the required distance just and it was dull today which makes it slightly harder. Also there are 3 cars that I could be asked to read the number plate from I could memerise 3. I can drive safely well as safe as any other learner and none of the mistakes I have ever made arte cos of me being short sighted. I WILL DRIVE, this will NOT be my last lesson.
