3pm. It's only an hour. And this morning J mentioned talking to his parents when I've got some lessons under my belt and seeing if they'll put me on their insurance so he can take me out to practise. Their cars are smaller than his and not poorly!

Jaq when my eldest was learning we were able to get insurance that covered him and not a specific car. It meant he could go out with me in my car or with his dad. I think the company was called marmalade or something like that. They specialise in learners insurance. Might be worth looking into depending on the size of quote you get. X
Good luck, you'll love driving once you get started. And don't worry about the rain, instructors are very experienced in all weather's. X

My parents have said no outright to me practising in their car and my brother has said no to going on his insurance. I'll look into that! Thank you!!!
I have a headache now...

I'm too old for that one... (that's depressing!) But I have found one. Texted my brother..."So you know you said ages ago about taking me out in your car but then said about insurance...." and sent him the link!
Apparently I'm subtle as a brick!.gif "(giggle)")

77 and counting, less of the "Old" call me "Mike"
Thanks for the marmalade tip! I've just bookmarked it to look at properly!
Hope you've had a great time Jaq!
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

That is THE scariest thing I have ever done!!!! I kept panicking, stalled about 3 or 4 times, kerbed it once, but I didn't crash!!! But holy!!!!

Only 3 or 4?? Sweetheart, I’ve managed to stall my automatic car, which I’ve been told by many people is completely impossible. Your instructor will expect you to stall
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.
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!!!
