(Hours 46 & 47)

The A55 plan was called off but it was a good thing since my run today was not the best.. the main problem was forgetting to drop my gears before driving onto a roundabout. The road markings for a 3-lane roundabout is very confusing and I'm not coping well with them either... Finding the correct lane to drive into for the desired direction can be difficult as the lanes may cross and changing lanes is quite frequent. I suppose that's the difference between driving in a quiet village and a busy city!

A long and windy country lane was also thrown into the course today which helped towards the experience of different roads. It wasn't anything I expected as I was preparing myself for the A55 which is completely the opposite since a constant speed of 20 keeps a good control. After the twists and turns to my surprise I was told to go over the steep weak bridge just like 'the woman in front'. I was amazed at how she managed to do it as I was almost clueless.. I slowly made it at the peak of the bridge and felt a little tilt before I actually managed to find my way back down to the ground.. Not being able to see what was going to come after the bridge was also fearful as the driving required guessing... it wasn't good to know that it was a weak bridge and the weight of the car was not the lightest!

The night drives are definitely more fun! I've booked in the next one during the dark hours to get a better feel of driving in poor lighting conditions. Hopefully it'll be a better drive than this one and I'll be writing with a face full of smiles like my last lesson.
