I've finally booked my first driving lessons

£152 for the first 10 lessons, and it varies after that, probably book another 10 which is £17/hr, pretty good i think

Quite nervous but really looking forward to it as well! Just glad to be getting them out the way

First one's tuesday at 1.45

Well, that was great fun

Did 6 or 7 starts and didnt manage to stall it once, which i'm really pleased with. Steering on the damn thing is weird, had to turn the wheel almost 360 degrees to do a 90 degree turn which seemed weird

He seemed fairly pleased with my general knowledge of the roads, and one time he asked me to stop, almost stopped in front of a driveway, but then realised i'd better not. He said most people would just stop where instructed, but he said it was excellent how i'd gone a bit further so not to block someone's driveway

So, really good, next one is Saturday, looking forward to it already!

I spent about 45 mins doing the controls, mirror, signal, maneoeoeurouover, all the basic stuff. Then practised a few starts, did some driving, then the instructor showed me the push-pull thing for the steering wheel
