5th July 2007 could of been better lesson day before test

Raining all lesson need to react to things bit sooner in rain. Mirror checks not too bad for me though probably could do with few more. Main mistake not reacting to junction nearly went over give way line so instructor tells me to stop and brakes I just go for brake then remember clutch just in time. In 40 zone doing 40 traffic lights go to amber I decide to try and stop then relise not going to be able to stop before line even with emergency stop so carry on, my instructor tells me I was speeding as with it being wet I should go slightly under speed limit. At some other traffic lights down hill that change to red so have to more of less do emergency stop at them.

Do revese round corner go too wide 1st time over white line then straighten up ok was looking in left wing mirror too much. 2nd time do it ok which I'm glad about as last few goes have gone wrong. Did parallel park 1st time I was rushing a bit as the owner of car I was using got in waiting to move, I was too far from kerb and couldn't straighten up. 2nd time was better though bit far from kerb cos I turn right too much. Did turn in road I love this manoueuvre can do it almost every time. I thought I was going to end up hitting kerb on last bit but somehow managed not to.

I told my instructor he needed petrol and asked to put it in for him at first he said no but as we was back bit early he decided to let me and sent me in to pay for it first time I've been in to pay for it. I asked to do emergency stop my instructor said I'd already done 2, I corrected him said one he said ok one and half. At end I did get to do one in 2nd gear just forgot to look over both shoulders when moving off again. Also forgot a blind spot check. My instructor told me about speeding doing 35 in a 30 then told me again when I wasn't I was doing exactly 30.
