Today I had another driving lesson. This meant I missed helping mum with some of the housework. But I did manage to get the vacuuming done after lunch so that was good.
Because the instructor thought I needed to build up my confidence on round a bouts, the whole lesson was devoted to them. I spend so much time going round in circles it's a wonder I didn't get dizzy! I did little mini ones, normal ones, BIG scary five lane ones and even a double, which is one round a bout that leads straight into another! Some road planner somewhere must have had a bad nights sleep and got out of the wrong side of the bed the morning he thought that one up. He thought that if he was having a bad day then everyone else was going to.
The thing I have trouble with the most is choosing the right lane to be in. If they made it a personal preference, like picking nail varnish colour or some such thing, I would be fine. But oh no, you have to be in the right lane or you,re going to get some impatient knob in an Audi stuck up your bum, with his horn on like it's some sort of anger management tool rather than a simple warning device that's only there to get a girls attention. You would think that having a big letter 'L' stuck to the back of your car might give him a clue that you perhaps aren't sure what you're doing and so take these things more steady. But oh no, we can't have that can we, you have to be in the right position or it's the end of the world for him.
Anyway, everything went well and I think my only problem with them now are the ones I have in my head about them.
