Woo-hoo! First Driving Lesson! :d

[kenc]

Woo-hoo! Took my first driving lesson!

Ohhh, that Yaris is so going to be mine

I was learning about clutch control and I had no control over my leg.....kept shaking like mad, had a mind of it's own

I picked it up faster than I thought I would :D , the whole biting point is easy now and changing gears is easier than I thought

I need to brush up on my steering cos my legs are too large and I can't do the whole threading the wheel through properly cos I'm used to arcade games and just crossing over my arms

But my next lesson is next week!

Anywho, my mum's getting a new car soon, she wants a Toyota Corolla B)

[Firthy]

Nice one dude...you'll be on the road in no time

And i HATED threading the wheel...that went straight out of the window when i passed :P

[starletsr]

Good luck with another odd 40 something lessons to go for you yet!

[Firthy]

Bit harsh shelly

It took me 3 months, 18 hours of lessons, and 2 tests to pass :D

Mounted the kerb when reverse parking :( OOPS

It was on a steep hill to be fair ;)

[knightrider]

nice one ken,

you'll be passed in no time im sure!

i passed my bike test yesterday and on the way back i followed the instuctor and he jus rides how he wants which is nothing like the way i was taught,

[starletsr]

Well that's the truth isn't it, he got plenty to go yet before passing, get through the theory then the partical test.......

Good luck anyway Kenc

[kenc]

heehee thanks.

I got the hang of changing gears and he even said I picked it up quite fast and that I was anticipating before he even said anything B)

I still got a lot to learn but I know I'll get there......I think after like 5 or so lessons I might take my theory.

[starletsr]

What are you learning in?

What are you learning in?

a corsa

I think it's a good idea to get the theory out the way as soon as you can. Then you know one part is done and dusted. My instructor encouraged me to do this after my second lesson as the revision etc is really down to you, although he/she may give you a few pointers. Try as many online interative practice tests with a bit of revision and you'll be fine. It's common sense really.

I know exactly what you mean with the shaky leg thing though!!!

Best of luck

[starletsr]

What are you learning in?

a corsa

New shape ones? Not bad i driving one before :P

At least it's better than my N reg fiesta i used to learn in, that's a ******* box back in the days... oh well i still managed to pass 1st time B)

Enjoy the more lessons to come, esp parallel parking <_< i hate them!! still do.. hehehe.

Yeah new shaped one......I think.

Heehee 1st time.....wow

Hahaha, my mum hates parking, she can't reverse

[Caz SR]

I still hate parallel parking!!! In fact I avoid it at all costs and I've been driving a year. Pretty much mastered everything else though... the odd bit of abuse at drivers cutting me up... knowing where the local speed cameras are... which petrol stations I can easily fill-up at....

Hehe.

[Jamesb4uk]

i doubt i'd pass a test now if i had to

crossing arms, music up loud & arm resting on the window with !Removed!......

good luck Ken

[silvasurfa]

do your theory as soon as you can, good to get it out the way!

[vmail]

anyway good luck with the test when you book it

[starletsr]

[Moffmo]
