Learning to drive

This is going to be about my driving lessons. I will write what I remember about each one and update it after each lesson after that. I hope you enjoy reading this and if you are learning to drive you may be able to relate to some things and if you are thinking of starting lessons go for it as I put it off a bit and now wanting to do it all at once. Feel free to leave comments, but any comments unrelated to the blog or advertising will NOT be accepted and will not be seen by anyone.

21st May 2007 late shorter lesson

Only hour and half today should of been tomorrow for 2 and quarter hours but instructor couldn't make it so today instead and he'd just finished work at place near me so only wanted to do hour and half. Set off with instructor telling me wrong directions so had to change signal twice. Just driving today no manoeuvres. I managed to hit kerb going at 40mph oops, need more mirror checks though can check them enough on tests. I need to put it in 1st just before stopping on hills instead of stopping then going into 1st and needing hand brake, positioning on roundabouts could improve. I stopped at roundabout when safe to go. Stalled at roundabout braking without clutch in. Got bit close to white line once. Went round bend wide cos I was changing down gear and steering at same time. At end I come out of junction when car was coming though managed to get going quick. I stopped at amber light and my instructor said it was an emergency stop but it wasn't I could of stopped much quicker if needed. My speed was better today didn't keep going over speed limit. Due a good lesson. Next lesson Saturday 2 and half hours with bay parking and emergency stop.

    Hi,
    Aw, I know how you feel when you say you deserve a good lesson - I often got stuck in a rut with driving, it got to the point, where I was expecting the next lesson to be bad, and so drove badly.
    I thnk the roundabout thing will come with practice. I got told to look at the indicators, but I am always more hesitant on roundabouts than I perhaps should be.
    My instructor told me to "gear before you steer".
    good luck for your next lesson, you can do it :D
