19th July 2007 goodish lesson great turn in road

Ok bit late updating this. Set off had to get through narrow gap and ended up getting slightly close to right and knocked right wing mirror so had to pull up to put it right again. Did mainly roundabouts most was ok exept one where I went bit near right hand lane that a car was in so my instructor had to grab wheel. Stuck in traffic a bit my instructor didn't trust me here though as we was on a hill going upwards and I was getting biting poing without hand brake as I can do it ok and my instructor was ready to put hand brake on before I had chance to move forwards or roll back, did ok though. Also was coming off roundabout and had to stop as cars in front had stopped and I was braking and my instructor went for brakes but I told him I beat him to it. He said he shouldn't have to go for brake but I tell him he didn't have to cos I was braking and he couldn't argue with that. Coming up to traffic lights they change to amber I try to stop but realise too close so carry on as I would of been over stop line. Speeding a few times in 30 limit. Also a first time mistake I stopped car using hand brake probably cos I was talking to instructor and not concentrating fully before he could say anything I told him I know.

Did 2 turn in roads well 1st one was at dead end did that well. Later my instructor tells me to do turn in road on very narrow road and says its narrow and he will be pleased if I manage it. He says if I can do it on this road I can do it on any. Got to say I wanted to do this well so much I was bit nervous as cars were waiting to pass but couldn't til I'd done as no room but I managed it in 5 turns very pleased.
