Almost had a heart attack this morning!!! I was coming off a roundabout and just starting to build my speed up when a woman started to pull out of a side street ahead of me, my instructor had to break! My heart is only just settling down to normal!

My dad always told me that I’d have hundreds of near misses in my driving life. But that they are misses and nothing happened. It shakes me up every time but I just try to take what he said to heart.
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

Thats so true. I have had a few times where that happened. Where my heart was in my throat. With kids running into the streets and all.
But i try to think of those times i was shaken as a positive. Nothing happened. It all went ok. It might be a simple thought but a near miss is the same as missing by a mile. Nothing was hit.
Your doing a good job. And you are going to become a good driver.

Her husband pointed out what she'd done and they both apologised but it did make my heart race. That being said though, I was doing junctions by the end of the lesson and driving on side streets and have done a lot of work on breaking and changing down-.gif ")")

You are doing so, so well. You have come such a long way in such a short time. You must be telling yourself that you are proud by now???
Not really but I can see what J means now when he said enjoying my lessons will make it so much easier for me. Bob, my instructor, is brilliant. If I do something wrong he will talk me through things and get me to tell him why what I did was wrong. I told him I was struggling with knowing when to change down so he did work on braking with me when there was no traffic behind me and got me driving without gas in each gear so I could see how fast the car went on its own. It's made it clearer for me. Even when I do make mistakes, I can still see the positives and that is huge for me

Sounds to me like you handled it brilliantly! I'm so incredibly proud of you!
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

It did rattle me and it took me a while to settle down again but I think I did ok. It was really bright too so my eyes are hurting a bit. Don't tell J he was right about taking my sunglasses....

I agree with Suzi you did very well with your driving.
77 and counting, less of the "Old" call me "Mike"

If you didn't get a bit shocked then you'd be a terrible driver! The fact you were rattled showed you cared and you were concentrating!Originally Posted by Jaquaia
