Learning to drive

This is going to be about my driving lessons. I will write what I remember about each one and update it after each lesson after that. I hope you enjoy reading this and if you are learning to drive you may be able to relate to some things and if you are thinking of starting lessons go for it as I put it off a bit and now wanting to do it all at once. Feel free to leave comments, but any comments unrelated to the blog or advertising will NOT be accepted and will not be seen by anyone.

6th August 2007 mock test

My instructor decides I am having a mock test today but wont start til we get to test centre. The drive to the test centre went quite well only a few minor mistakes. First junction I stop in 2nd gear and forget to change back to 1st so when safe I move off in 2nd though it works just slower than it would be in 1st. Went slightly over speed limit once and need to check mirrors more when passing parked cars. At the test centre my instructor points out these mistakes and says on first junction I turned wheel right bfore stopping so cut across the right hand lane more than needed which I didn't relise.

Mock test seemed to go well apart from going wide on reverse round corner and having to be dualed on traffic light cross roads. I got turn in road which went well I need to rev car less on manoeuvres though. End of test 2 serious which I knew as I saw one marked down before I was dualed didn't have a clue what it was for passing parked car too wide. Only got 6 or 7 minors though which is least I've ever got.

Drive home was quite good aswell though got into discusion with my instructor over approaching traffic lights as I approach some without easing off gas at all so when they changed both me and my instructor went for brake. I told him I wish he wouldn't be so quick to go for brake and next 10 mins was on about that finally we agreed I should of eased off gas slightly incase they changed. End of lesson on my street I ask my instructor if I'm to pull up out side my house and he doesn't answer so I carry on he thinks I did it deliberate but I say I didn't and only carried on cos he never said pull up so go round again and this time he says very clearly to pull up out side my house.
