10th March 2007 Worksop again

I still can't decide where to take my test I don't think I'm keen on Doncaster cos of all signs you have to see and follow and lane changes. Worksop where I've been today isn't too bad exept not many dual carriageways and quite a few junctions and turns close together. Next lesson I'm trying Rotherham then going to decide where to take the test and book it. Good thing about Worksop is that I'll probably have some lessons on A1 though didn't go on it today which probably was for the best as I needed to see the rest of possible test routes as I can do dual carriageways well all you do is go fast and watch mirrors and in front. I want my full test on a dual carriageway (I wish) Todays lesson went quite well just need to pass parked cars without going too wide and stay away from middle of road and guess what else.........................yes check mirrors more grrr I hate them. I could sometimes get out of junctions or do right turns bit sooner if a car is coming up in distance I tend to wait even if I could go before it gets to me. I hit kerb going round a bend today and scraped kerb pulling up at the end of the lesson something I hardly ever do.

I did bay parking again not quite as well as last time I drove into a bay or more like on the line of 2 bays then reversed back trying to get straight in one behind I couldn't see the white lines behind so trying to line front of car up with one in front, turned wheel wrong way so had to go forwards a bit then reverse back only there was another learner in front and I forgor to put it into reverse so my instructor braked and remined me I somehow managed it ok then. My instructor then tested me on reading a number plate through some trees and I did struggle a bit but managed to read it just. Lesson learnt if I'm not sure what the number plate reads have a go as this happened today I was ready to say I couldn't read it but had a go and got it right. My instructor went through the show me tell me questions at the end. I'm not getting wound up if I forget them as the most I'll get for getting both wrong on test is one minor not going to make much difference in me passing or failing. On Tuesday I will decide where to take my test and get it booked. Mirrors is the main thing I will fail on so I must check them more. I just want to pass and would be so mad at myself for failing on anything et alone something I know I need to improve on like stupid horrid mirrors. I'll be checking them every second to make sure I don't fail for them.
