Today was the big day... last lesson I was left off with a thought that I was going to drive home after my lesson. This was it,...
After a few days of soaking up the news I calmed my nerves and prepared myself. At the beginning of today's lesson I mastered up my steering skills before setting out onto the big road by practising my left and right turns which I had been doing in my previous lesson.
Time past quickly and it was time for me to drive home.. I followed all the instructions I was given and didn't rush as we had allocated plenty of time. I tried very hard to function while I was driving but there were lots of things to focus on. Driving round the roundabouts were quite difficult as I had to complete the steering correctly, check the mirrors, indicate and turn into my chosen lane within a few seconds. Everything had to be done fast.. I tried my best and noticed a few faults, like checking the mirror on a new road..
I had been pretty lucky throughout the journey considering the zebra crossings were free and I didn't need to come to a stop. The hardest was yet to come.... Apple Orchard.. famous for it's number of swerves! As well as that, the road isn't flat which makes it even harder. Each bend either dips or rises which makes you think whether to brake or accelerate. I managed to complete the Apple Orchard under supervision and was on the way to approaching home.
I made it home in one piece, only stalling the car once! Once is still too much but I'm happy to have not stopped in the middle of Apple Orchard!
