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.

27th June 2007 bad start but got better

Well the other half of my lesson from yesterday well probably wouldn't of been worth my instructor coming for 45 minute lesson which is what I missed out on yesterday so hour and half or thats what I should of had I actually had one hout 45 minutes so hour and quarter free not sure if my instructor meant to give me extra or if he forgot and thought it was 2 hour lesson then remembered as there was no bad traffic hold ups or anything to slow us down. Not that bothered I got longer than planned and its first time its not been planned.

Not the best start to lesson started raining fast in first 5 minutes of lesson I was actually glad as it was like weather I missed out on driving in Monday. I ended up leaving braking a bit late in wet conditions so a few times my instructor went for brakes, Nearly parked on a crossing though remembered not to just as front of car went over line and stopped then remembered not to stop in yellow box. Need more mirror checks again just can't seem to remember enough got to remember on test thats it I'm getting to stage where I think its just one of them things that will never come natural to me just get through test checking them after that I'll try to remember but expect I'll forget ggrrrr. Need to remember to look right as I come to roundabouts then decide if its safe rather than getting to the line then looking. Did some dual carriageways 60mph. Only went slightly over speed limit once or twice.

Had a go at bay parking went forward into bay then reversed back into one behind first go I steered too much and parked over white line so did it again a lot better. Lesson tomorrow then Monday late lesson driving in dark still got to agree on a time for that though as instructor doesn't seem keen on how late it gets dark but has agreed to do it. I hope to have 2 hours 9 til 11 then I will get an hour in dark instructor keeps changing his mind on how long this lesson will be and what time first one hour then 2 hour then hour and half 8 o clock then 8.30 to 8.45. I've asked for 9 til 11 and he hasn't said definate no so hope to get that time. Think rather than planning what time lesson will start on this I'll have to get him to agree a time it wil end to make sure I get say an hour in dark cos he has habbit of saying a time and turning up 20 minutes early sometimes and it will mean less time in dark.
