7th August 2007 night lesson

Start of lesson was still light though started getting dark soon after. Set off instructor asks if theres anything we may need on so I say head lights no idea how to put them on so stop to be shown (has to be shortest distance I've ever done on lesson before stopping not even half way down my road) Get to bottom of my road junction and break a bit hard. Go on some lanes with speed limit of 60mph though too many bends to get up to that. Got bit near white line a few times. Getting better at watching speed only went bit over about twice and about 1mph a few times. Need to check mirrors more as usual. Went down a road with no street lights when it had got dark so used full beam head lights first time had to dip them though once for another car passing.

Did all 4 manoeuvres turn in road went well just had to be reminded about putting car in reverse. Bay park up to me if I did it to left or right so went for left as I can do that better did it well then went to move off in neutral. Parallel park did ok just had to be told to steer right a bit more to avoid hittin kerb. Reverse round corner was when it was properly dark so struggled to see where kerb was did ok considering I couldn't see how far I was from kerb but ended up hitting kerb slightly, in day light I would of managed it.

I forgot to change down gears for a few roundabouts though got round ok went too fast round one though. Near end I forgot to signal for roundabouts and forgot mirrors I think. Had to be dualled as a car was overtaking and I was about to move out for parked car. Went on dual carriageway which was good got up to 70mph.
