Today's lesson is going to be very memorable.... the closest I have ever been to a busy roundabout! The exercise involved me getting out the car and standing in front of a roundabout to analyse the direction traffic is intending to go. This is still one of my major weaknesses on a roundabout, which makes me hesitant to join one. Now that I have settled the roundabout reading, I hope to read the clues faster while being in the car.
As most of the roads are now blocked by cones and filled by roadworks, an incident occured on the way home which made me laugh in hysterics! It shouldn't have really been funny, but the fact that I was least expecting it made me burst out with laughter.... As I entered the narrow street, cars were parked on both sides which made it even more narrower.... I squeezed my way through at a slow speed and heard a bump! I thought I clipped a car at first and looked straight at my instructor in shock.... then later I realised that I had only caught the wing mirror, which caused mine to bend inwards, and we assume, bent the other one outwards considering nothing visible was left on the ground... Of course I blame the parked car that I caught since it was not supposed to be parked there between 9am and 6pm, especially with the wing mirror left out! They're just lucky it's not left hanging on wires!
