4th April 2007 good afternoon lesson
Well wasn't expecting lesson today my instructor sent me pm on 2pass forum before last lesson saying he needed to do lesson the day before cos car was being serviced on the Monday when lesson was booked and then the next one would be Wednesday (today) but on last lesson he said Thursday (tomorrow) so at 5pm today I thought I'd better check he's not there and he was. So mad rush to get ready and said I thought lesson was tomorrow.
Set off well still need more mirror checks, went about 45mph twice on a 40mph by accident. Coming up to traffic lights they turn to amber but no way at all that I could of stopped behind the line even with emergency stop, my instructor agrees that I couldn't of stopped then bit later same happens again only I'm slightly further away as they turn to amber and I think I can stop so start to stop and end up having to brake hard and relise it would of been best to keep going though my instructor said it was good emergency stop I knew I'd be good at them.
My instructor was in turn in road mood today did 2 together then drove bit more did another drove a bit more and turned into road with cars parked on both sides my instructor said arn't you lucky cos he was going to ask me to do another but couldn't with all cars well lucky for that road I did another in a different road, did all quite well I think 4 altogether and in 3 stops at side of road. More roundabout work which is improving. I need to judge when its safe to go bit sooner can manage to get out between cars that are far apart sometimes but not other times and sometimes go bit early though not been dualled yet. I also had a go at driving in traffic which went well not much to go wrong there though as long as you are watching when to go and stop. No planned emergency stop today unfortunally I want to do one on my test it will take up a minute or so of the test where it could otherwise go wrong how about a full 40 minute test on emergency stops that would be good. Overall I feel confident about the test with or without emergency stop I think the main thing that I'll be marked down for is being hesitant at roundabouts or junctions which I'm working on. Any thing else I can do when on test like checking mirrors just in lessons I seem to forget.
