Lesson Fourteen

With my theory test looming at only a week away it would be fair to say I'm pretty nervous.

But passing my theory test means booking my practical test and anything that gets me closer to driving is worth the worry, right?

This week I did a bit of independent driving and dual carriageways.

Dual carriageways involve 70mph overtaking *palpitations* 

THE most important thing I learnt this lesson is to check your blind spot!! 

Independent driving is tricky especially when you're not used to the area you're driving in.
Concentrating on all of the signs and lanes as well as a million other factors simultaneously is just another complication! (Just as I thought it was getting easier!) 

I've got two weeks off lessons now because of exams, which gives me lots of time to practice in my own car and a chance to try and sort my manoeuvres out. Urgh.

It's nearly summer and to be able to drive by then would be amazing. 

However, even if I did pass, the next problem is my colossal insurance appreciation ew. 

After paying for my last insurance, driving lessons, MOT, service, petrol, tyres and road tax my savings account is feeling a little light. 
Donations anyone? 

Looks like the next few months will be filled with working and driving. Not all bad I guess!

Let me know any of your driving experiences or any questions you might have about getting started! 

'til next time

Lesson Twelve & Thirteen

I had another lesson at 8:30am..ew

But in this one I learnt something that has been worrying me for a long time now! 

The Parallel Park.

I have to admit, this is probably one of the easiest manoeuvres I have learnt to do out of all of them.

It involves very little accuracy and is reasonably straight forward (pardon the pun) 

I have learnt all of my manoeuvres now! 
- Reverse bay park
-Turn in the road
-Reverse around corner
-Parallel park! 

I've also been practising theory tests on an app I have (Theory Test 2015) and recently I have been passing! Which is lucky considering my test isn't far away!

In my 13th hour I practised all of my manoeuvres! Now it's all about practising and making sure that I can do everything with ease.

I want to past my test by the summer so I'm increasing to 1 1/2 hour lessons which should help me get things done quicker.

The end is in sight! 
I've been driving my car lots and I even cleaned it the other day! Madness. 
I just need to keep practising and making sure that I can get as much experience as I can!

Tell me about your driving experiences!

til next time,
Hannah.
