allanaAt long last I've sent in an email enquiry about driving lessons. The company's website said nervous drivers welcome, and I definitely fit that category. I'm less than happy with the idea of learning to drive, especially in England. Traffic is crazy here; every day I see appallingly bad driving leading to near-misses and Dave sees at least six crashes a week on the motorway whilst driving to work. This doesn't inspire confidence. I have zero confidence in my vision either, despite being told on Friday that I'm perfectly safe and legal for driving.
However, the longer I leave it, the harder it will get. Already they've introduced yet another new element which wasn't there last year - in addition to the theory/hazard test, you will now be asked at your practical test to identify engine parts and also about car maintenance. Lovely. So, that'll be fun. On the plus side, there's a half-price deal for the first lesson when you book online; so I only need lose £12 to discover whether driving leaves me a nervous wreck or not....

My only fear is that you'd get held up on the safety ratings part, which I presume would be where they put an egg in your newly built car and drop it off the top of a building to see if the egg cracks.
