(Hours 28 & 29)

I personally set myself a target today for changing gears as I feel this needs to be corrected the most at this point of time. As I now know that the indication to changing gears is the sound of the engine, I am waiting for the sound to alert me that the car is not handling the current gear very well at it's current speed.

Driving the car today was quite difficult when a lorry behind me just constantly drove up close and left me no room at all... I tried dropping to 2nd gear just to manage the speed and give me time to drive over a sharp bend but little did I know that I put the car into 4th, which had caused me to speed over the bend and drive onto a kerb. If the lorry driver took the huge red 'L' into account and gave me some space, my experience today wouldn't have been so discouraging.
