23rd July 2007 hard but ok mock test

Had mock test today or yesterday as I'm bit late updating this. Started it as soon as lesson started though only the driving bit as my instructor said no need for eyesight as I've obviously got good enough eyesight of I wouldn't of had 3 tests. Also done all show me tell me questions on an earlyer lesson. 1st roundabout I'm told to go left 1st exit so I signal left and move with traffic and my instructor asks what lane I should be in. I relise I'm in middle lane and should be in left lane so move over. Soon I'm told to take next left and see the narrowest uphill road ever and have to ask if he means that one and he says yes so I manage to get up it ok its only just wide enough for 1 car. I brake bit hard a few times at junctions. Speed and mirrors are ok for once. I stalled at a roundabout but know you don't always fail for stalling and moved off ok after. Went on quite a few roads with speed bumps managed that ok but went bit fast over last few.

Manoeuvres where parallel park which went wrong with me on the kerb then at end did turn in road which went well again it's the only one I can do every time. reverse round corner most of time ok. parallel park hate it can do it ok sometimes and bay park bit better than parallel but not great. Well result fail cos of parallel park and my instructor said when I moved off from somewhere I made a car slow down which I didn't notice. He said I still try to push through gaps when cars are parked though I did hold back a few times aswell.

First thing after mock test was turn in road again as we was at dead end my instructor said he wasn't even watching this as he knows I can do it well (must be good) Had drive round then parked up at side of road and my instructor tells me to swap seats with him, I ask why and he gives me a funny look and says its only so he can show me parallel park and says he will have to get a crow bar to get me out of driving seat. After he's shown me how to do it I have a go and leave turning right bit long so instructor tells me to do full lock to right and I manage it well. My instructor looked so pleased but said he's determined we will practice it more next lesson so most of lesson will be parallel parking or how ever long it takes. Lesson after that will be in Barnsley as my instructor is going to take me on roads where there is cars parked on both sides so I have to decide if I should wait or go.
