(Hours 174 & 175)She was right. I shouldn't have slowed down on the slip road 'cos he might not have wanted to come out... I dont like it when I see people on the slip road.. it just screams collision cos I always think the slip road's going to run out.. this is why I hate it so much when I'm on them.
One thing I know now is that the elimination of 'pink sweets' is good... I'm not far off now and I hope my brain doesn't call for them during or before that day. It's gonna be a new year, new start...and new lifeee...

(Hours 173 & 174)I wasn't really looking forward to today's lesson and I was hoping it would be cancelled from the bad weather. Unfortunately it didn't, and I'm quite lucky to have it as I've learnt a lot of new stuff about driving on snow. Usually it's in snow but never on snow.. well in actual fact it is to dodge the snow and use planning and awareness skills for lane discipline on roundabouts where the snow is difficult to melt.

(Hours 171 & 172)It's been a while since I last drove in the snow but the sky made it happen today and I'm still driving in it as a learner. It wasn't too bad but it was beginning to lay and roof tops were turning white. I'm asking more questions now as I drive as I'm rooting for answers. I want to know what I will pass on and what it is exactly that will fail me besides the obvious serious and dangerous.
Apparently if I fail a manoeuvre I fail my test. Really??? I'm sure I got told before that you can still pass even if you failed a manoeuvre. I thought minor faults could occur into them, but it seems to be an all round good run to get that bit of paper.

(Hours 170 & 171)I was just thinking about my long missed night drives and today just happened to land on one. I had to peel my eyelids back just to make sure I was extra alert to what was going on. I remember the last time I drove in the dark was immense, but now independent driving is stamped all over my head, I tried not to have any help from my instructor. I understand that I should be alert at all times but for some reason the night just shouts caution to me, and what used to be fun and rebel-like has not got to be taken seriously.
Driving Lesson #91

(Hours 168 & 169)My mind is fuzzy and the fear of stalling bites back. I don't know how much longer I can hold on for but I am getting tired. Make it the last.
