Really, 34 lessons gone by already?!
Where does the time seriously go! (okay then granny Anna, you can be quiet now).
I can't believe how much I've learnt & to be honest with you I feel like my confidence has grown during this time too. Win, win if you ask me.

So today we drove to the next village & I got to practice a reverse round a corner, this went pretty well. Since the next village has a lot of speed bumps I never really fully know what speed is best to aim for since regardless some of them just throw you. After this we headed to the other side of town & I got to practice a 3 point turn & both times I made it round in 3, I love it when that happens. I did accidentally hit the kerb once when reversing but I suppose atleast you know when you've gone too far back & I'm pretty sure I'm not the first person to bump into a kerb & I know for sure I won't be the last. After this it was time to head back home & one more manoeuvre was ready to be practiced...a parallel park, I do quite enjoy these but just like everything else it won't go great every time. It did actually go pretty well though today.

Ooooh, today was the day of a dum dum dum....mock test! I obviously have never done one of these & I wasn't really too sure how it would go. Sharon went by explaining exactly how the test would work & obviously that each examiner is different, grading wise. Some will be really strict & others might let things pass as a one off, then the next time it happens it will be a minor. I managed to get 9 minors, which I suppose is okay since she did a mixture of how the examiners would be. I don't really feel like it was one of my best driving lessons to be fair. A few things did go wrong but we have to make mistakes to learn from them. I did find it funny how we was quiet in the car because obviously some examiners will want silence. Well can I just say I do not deal well with silent situation. I found myself giggling a little bit & if you was in our car you would think we had had a fall out. We are usually non stop chattering from the minute I get in the car to the minute I pull up at home. How on earth am I going to cope on the actual test?
So there is a run down of my lessons this week (well technically last week).
It still feels weird actually adding questions to the end of these posts because I didn't start my blog to gain readers, I just started as a way to express myself & get out whatever was driving me crazy in my head. But I am so grateful for the people who read my waffle & hopefully enjoy it. I really enjoy communicating with you so let's get down to the questions, shall we?..
How many lessons/hours did you have until you passed?
Which manoeuvre did you find easy peasy?
& which manoeuvre did you find to be a tough cookie?
Thanks for reading.

I didn't have many cos I was practising in my dads car, plus I was nervous in lessons cos I used to have panic attacks. (Over sharing?) I was a pro at 3 point turns I was asked on my test to do one. I can't reverse around a corner to save my life! I wished I could do my test again when you finally passed its the best feeling!
ReplyDeleteNot over sharing at all, I seriously feel your pain..panic attacks are awful..haha, brilliant! :) I think I'm with you on that one... if they ask me to do a reverse around a corner I will be like nooooo :( please no...I can do a 3 point turn if you like :) hehe! I can imagine xx
