7th May 2007 last lesson before test day 2 days away

Need to check mirrors more must remember them on Wednesday. Did 2 reverse round corners 1st one great 2nd one god but looked in left wing mirror bit to much my instructor must be fed up of telling me about that. Parallel park was good slightly wide off kerb though but would of passed on my test. Turn in road went well. Did 2 emergency stops in 3rd gear don't think my instructor is keen on how hard I brake as he said I was to do an emergency stop without breaking our necks or anything. Both went well.

Definately need more mirror checks just think mirror mirror mirror for 40 minutes and I'll not fail for them. I stalled once today at a queue of traffic going onto a roundabout I rushed getting biting point and let clutch up too high. I have been getting biting point on hills without using hand brake and managed to hold biting point at traffic lights though could of used hand brake as I was waiting a bit (only about 10 seconds) on test I will use hand brake to be on safe side. I got gears wrong once or twice but nothing major. I got out of a junction when my instructor said I should of waited but did it without the other car slowing down. Positioning at roundabouts could do with being more to left for left turns. Need to watch my speed a few times it kept going slightly over the speed limit. I hope to get turn in road on my test and I did want reverse round corner but I'm not that bothered now as on reverse round corner I seem to look in left mirror too much and could fail so as long as I get turn in road I'm happy if not then hard luck. I can do all 3 ok now.

Next posting will be after my 1st test my instructor picking me up at 8.30 to 8.45 so just over hour and half lesson before test. Done over 2 and half hour lesson today and still could of done more so should be ok.
