Public entry Driving lessons
June 20, 2006 @ 02:48:17 pm
Finally after a 7 year break i decided to get back in the saddle, and took back up my driving lessons.

7 Years ago i sat my test but did terrible, i was a nervous wreak and so was the test guy by the time i was done and i failed badly however as i live within walking distance of pretty much everything i need, work, food, etc and my partner, Sarah, drives i never really seen the need to take it back up.

But now Sarah is working s**tty long hours and the 2 kids wanna go places and the two of them can't fit on my push bike so i decided it was time to get back behind the wheel.

So my first lesson was today, and it was a breeze, 5 minutes after getting into the car and doing the cockpit drill i was whizzing along the busy roads, wind in my hair and it felt like 7 years ago but without the nerves and i was cursing myself, if i had only just re-sat my test after failing i wouldn't have been license-less for the past 7 years.

So I've booked a block of 10 lessons and hope that will be me, back in for my test, i might not pa** it this around but sure as hell i'll get right back in for it.

Moral of the story: if you fall of the horse just get right back on, cause for 7 years i've let fear stop me from doing this and now i have no idea why

Good luck with the lessons. I know what you mean about nerves when doing your test. The day I did my HGV test I locked myself out of my car before getting into the lorry.

nice! I was actually thrown off the horse. But I eventually got back on. It took me two years to finally go for mine and my driver instruction said I was natural! You'll do great!
