This isnt a pre-planned topic, and probably wont make much sense as I seem to be in a state of stress and confusion at the moment.
Im currently having Driving lessons, which I had 4 hours worth today alone! My arms ache, my neck hurts and my back is stiff.
So far Ive learnt all the basics and a bit more, but we went onto reversing today. When youre in your parents car and theyre driving you dont realise how hard it really is.
I have to admit it really hurts my brain having to remember everything to do! My brain is a bit rusty at the moment through under-use, but today it was in overDRIVE......
The first few lessons were pretty stress free because I was going through an area where there are hardly any cars. BUT todays lesson was diferent.
The instructor decides he wants me to drive into this place... this dark and dismal place.... I tend to call it hell..... The fact that it was also approaching 5.30pm, where all the lemmings are coming home from work mad it all the more worse.
OK, Ive kind of lost the plot here now.......
erm...... yes, anyway, I started to do the same mistake a few times, which was not releasing my foot off the clutch when I changed to a lower gear (Drivers may know what im talking about-Please dont laugh!) The instructor started to have a go at me, and I could see in his eyes he was getting very annoyed with me.
The more he shouted, the worse I drove, the more he shouted, the worse I drove..... etc etc!
The rage was building up inside me, but I knew it wasnt my place to say anything seeing that I'm the one that needs to learn.
But then it popped into my mind......
Whos paying who here? He doesnt have the right to shout at me, when Im paying for these damn lessons.... Well actually my parents are paying for them, but thats beside the point! :-D
Hes not payed to shout at me, hes payed to teach me.
Maybe Im wrong here, and maybe Im over-reacting, but im stressed...... and pi*ssed off right now.....
The one good thing from this is that Im now more determined. Some people may ask "Doesnt that put you off driving now?".... The answer is no! I now want to proove him wrong, and show him that I can do it.....
So maybe it is good that hes shouting..... Anyway, before I drift off the plot again, Ill end this topic HERE.

How many mistakes are you allowed to have before you fail in your final test?
I know if you do a major mistake or something (like going through red lights) you fail instantly.
Knowing my luck Ill probably run over a cat or something. (Sorry all you cat lovers!)....... Damn cats! :-D

Dont worry about it man. The first few lessons are always full of stress. It felt like hell for me. Especially the first time i stalled at a junction! its like hell aint it? But it will get better. usually after 10-12 lessons everything starts running smooth.
The actual final test was pritty cool for me. THe examiner was really cool and made feel really releaxed as he talked all the way through and kept cracking jokes! I also had a Red Bull before hand which kept me more alert.

I think the reason he probably shouted was to let you know that driving is dangerous especially if you don't know what you are doing. Not only a danger to yourself but to others. Now that he has shouted it will make you think twice about doing it again.
I remember when i sat my test, past first time so good luck when you get round to sitting yours.

If you go to Zimbabwe you can actually buy a full licence for about a tenner, and then get it converted to a UK licence when you get back here.
So, if I haven't passed by this time next year...
