I survived

[allana]

Just had my first driving lesson and I survived. I'm impressed at how much I remembered and the instructor (Sarah) is absolutely lovely; very calm and inspires a lot of confidence. I do seem to recall doing more on my first lesson (all those years ago) but I wasn't a bundle of nerves back then. I can prepare to move off, check mirrors properly, still remember clutch control (although, the biting point in her car is really, really high up which was weird), and drive safely for a short distance (I guess 1/5 mile?) back to the house through very small and twisty roads. Hell, I even used indicators! I've booked another lesson for next Wednesday and I'm not feeling terrified at the prospect... I'm actually a little excited. I'm still marginally shocked at today's prices though: £24 per hour!!

So, now I need to go and look at the Highway Code and see how much I remember of that. Yay!

Yay for you! Way to go Ang!

Good luck with studying the Highway Code...
(so glad I don't have to take a test every time I renew my license!)

Thanks Keli! I'm really pleased with myself; I've spent the afternoon immersed in the Highway Code and a drivers manual. I should be pretty good with the theory after a week of studying :)
