Driving Lessons!



Well, I haven't blogged in a few weeks, so - I thought I'd do one about my most recent driving lessons. So far I have only had two (one booked for next week) and I am thoroughly enjoying it.
Being at university, I never really gave a thought to starting them in first year. Now, it's coming to the end of second year - I realise I will have to be able to drive by the end of my third year so I can get to a job that hopefully comes up! (cross fingers)
Having a lovely teacher helps as well, who also asks theory questions to push me further and really easy to talk to and ask questions - which you'd hope any driving instructor would be able to do.
My first lesson I was in a different car to my second lesson, each with different clutch bite points; which came quick to learn. I am now in a DS3! Learning the clutch and gears was easy enough - I just have to remember to take my foot off of the accelerator when changing the gears (which I found out a couple of occasions)
I was taken a long a few dual carriage ways and roundabouts, along with junctions and windy roads. Roundabouts were nerve wracking as I have to be on the ball with accelerating quickly changing the gears and also looking where I am going - but, I managed it. I also hate the fact you have to thread the wheel, I find it much easier crossing my arms over, yet, I'm going to have to remember to thread. Luckily, when I was at junctions on my second lesson - there wasn't many cars around and the same on the roundabouts! I bet it won't be like that next time.
It's exciting to be learning!

  1. Hey, I am looking for Port Macquarie Driving School where I can get guidance for perfect driving skills. Do you have any information regarding driving schools where fee is not too high?
