28th July 2007 dual carrigeway good lesson

Did quite a few dual carriageways today which explains the good lesson. My instructor thinks I'll definatly pass my next test (hope he's right then he will do a jig though he hopes I forget to make him but I'll remember) Well usual things to improve on speed and mirrors. Last part of lesson my instructor told me to work on not going over limit and he said I did well only going over slightly once or twice. Getting better at deciding when to go when there is parked cars though held back once when I could of gone.

Practiced bay parking in test centre car park 1st one to the right which apart from going a bit fast I some how did it well no idea how pure luck. Next to the left which was a bit fast and ended up over white line tryed again and managed to park well this time. Another one to the right went slower and managed to get in ok again lucky. I do a parallel park which my instructor says he isn't helping me with as I don't need help I get the turn left in ok then start to turn right bit soon so my instructor tells me when and I park quite well.

I had to remind my instructor lesson shouldn't finish til 3.30 as he thought it should of been 3 o clock and was nearly home dor 3 til I reminded him. I then joke about why can't he ever think lesson should end later than it should. So we have another drive round. On way back traffic lights turn to amber when I'm quite close and I slam brakes on and make sure I don't go over stop line. Cos I've got a letter from police over going through red light day before my 3rd test and it was amber light so made sure it couldn't happen again. I would of probably carried on if it wasn't for remembering the letter as it was full emergency stop. Back home my instructor has no change so we end up walking to the shop for some no idea why I couldn't drive there instructor being awkward oh well wasn't that far and I did ask to drive there, but he said I can if he forgets change again.
