I completed pass plus today and it's annoying me the fact that I didn't choose to book the final date exactly a month after.. I don't know why dates are so important to me but it would have been nice to pass pp on the 8th too. In reality it makes no difference so I need to stop over analysing letters and numbers!

Other than that it was a cloudy day and I found my way to Darlington and back on my own and made a blast through the highway. Overtaking was a devil today and I kept coming back in leaving too little space. I should have carried on going on the outer lane with my foot down and coming back in when the road ahead is clear... again I'm being overly nice and trying to get out the way of other drivers. It's not good to be nice and in my cases it's incredibly wrong 'cos they're all dangerous faults.

Apparently the monster beside me thought I did really well but I know it could have been better. It always can be, but there is no such thing as perfect so why am I constantly chasing after it?

I'm loving these pass plus days and I'm definitely enjoying myself and having a great laugh...but the monster made me whizz up to the top of a car park today to come all the way back down again... something I'd never done before in my days as a learner but I was edging a bit close on some cases....but the car is still in one piece! I laugh!

I was alert to the L board today and I reminded Little Miss Forgetful to take it off for me.. Highly a lot of fun when we just escaped Yarm and one of the roads were closed from a flood. It was sunshining today so it was obviously left there from before. The risk-taker beside me lives life dangerously and asked me if I wanted to chance it through the sign...we decided not to as 2 others made a U-turn and carried on their journey. We did the same and on the way back, we saw the road at the end of what was closed off, was open! ...So if we went through we would've got out but it's best to be safe than sorry!

The first of the pass plus course and I've got someone else sitting beside me. It's all cool and we cruised along the country roads of Whitby just when I thought I was hitting the highway! Obviously it was a better decision not to since it was a different car and I needed to get used to it before I went out on the big roads. The scenery was fab and some of the hills were 25% steep!! A selection of lower gears pulled me up the hill and putting the foot to the floor did the trick.

Indeed it was different driving as a passed driver and I didn't get so much lunatics overtake me on the curvy road..obviously I got the odd one or two who knew the place and thought I was going ridiculously slow!!! ...But I didn't mind driving like a tourist ;)

I looked at the learners board today as I walked to the car and it just didn't click that I didn't need it anymore...it was funny when J forgot too and K had phoned her and remind her!
