Phew!
Well, that wasn't too bad. I seem to have lost a lot of my confidence though. I don't know if it's because I'm older or because I nearly crashed my dad's car and I can still remember it. My instructor had to keep telling me to go faster because I was doing less than 10mph.
It's good though. I like my instructor a lot. He's really friendly and the same age as me. He told me that out of everyone he's taught only one person had to take their test more than twice so that's good and he's obviously not out to make money like the BSM guy was. In fact he told me it was cheaper to bulk book lessons and when I told him I couldn't afford it at the moment he told me just to pay him when I get paid. So today's lesson cost me nothing, well, I'll have to pay for it retrospectively but it's cool that I don't have to fork out until I have a bit more cash.
The lesson itseldf was mostly him showing me around the car and the basic stuff. I stalled on my first attempt but after that it was good. I drove around this housing estate a couple of times and I think it'll be better next week when I can get straight on with the actual driving. I was just starting to get used to it today when it was time for the lesson to end.
I was actually expecting to remember all the stuff from last time I learned but really I didn't. It was like a proper first lesson. I'm hoping, in time, things will start to click back into place but really my BSM instructor was crap. I think I learned more today than I did in all my other lessons. LOL.
I need a driving icon. Impala, Desoto, one of Lex's many cars, Batmobile. Anyone got anything?
