Huni, at times I still stall, especially in a car I've not driven before and I've been driving for 28years and drove all day every day for 20 years as a district nurse. I also confess to hitting the odd kerb, but don't tell A. I think you did awesome for a first time. Freedom is coming Jaq

A lot of it is she took me to a quiet area near a school, except it's not quiet near kicking out time is it?! That raised my anxiety levels. There was soooo much info to take in too, but every time I saw head lights in the rear view mirror I panicked as I'm used to being in the car with my dad bitching whenever they're stuck behind a learner and I couldn't help but imagine them doing that too. I only had one "what are you doing?" though and I even managed to steer around someone with her car door open and between a car and a van parked opposite! My road positioning was dodgy a fair bit but I know that will come in time.
Exhausted now!!!

Erm, what were you expecting? To get straight in and drive with zero mistakes? Sweetheart you're doing brilliantly. It'll all come in time. We all had to start somewhere....
-
To be honest, I was expecting me to have reduced the instructor to a nervous wreck!!!! I could have very easily cried by the end of the lesson
-
Just take it one bit at a time lovely....
-
You drove, you missed hitting the idiot with the car door open, you got everyone back in one piece (including the car). You did good
-
I will. My instructor helpfully told me that if she feels like I'm not making progress she'll cancel lessons...
-
Better that then keep on taking your money....
-
Sweetie Ive been driving nearly 30 years and believe me I'm not perfect you have done so well for your first lesson

It's scary but I need to do this. I did find it a bit awkward! I have a long body, short arms and legs and a big belly and boobs! Fitting behind the steering wheel so I can depress the clutch all the way was fun!!!!
