Everybody stay inside coz I'm learning to drive :D
Yeap, I've finally decided to do it and it's freaking scary man!!!! I've had about 6 lessons now and I can't wait when it finally starts "coming naturally". Even turning the car on gives me anxiety. Don't get me started with the clutch. We've had many a conversations like why did you put the clutch in? - I DON'T KNOW!!!! I really don't :D Well I get it in theory but when you're on the move then jesus help us all.
Saying that, my instructor is very nice and calm and talks through everything although more emphasis is obviously on practical driving.
So what do I struggle with:
- Releasing the hand break. Can anything else be so frustrating? Every single time I didn't put it all the way down!! Let go of the button too quickly. So the car slowly moved beeping all the way, making me lose my concentration on steering... One thing at a time please. (Didn't have this problem the last two times yay!)
- Clutch control. Sometimes you have to have gas to make the car move, sometimes you don't. Like what???? WTF? (not talking about hills)
- I'm either too gentle with the pedals or too rough. How do you find the balance? Like breaking I try doing it slowly and gently so there's no jerking but nothing happens until we're already too close to something in front of us and all I can hear next to me is break break break!!!
- Driving fast. Like why isn't 10mph a perfectly acceptable speed?
- Paying attention to anything else except for where I am in the road... Too much to the left or right? That's all I think about. Now though, I can kind of watch my speed as well (which is frustratingly slow for the cars behind me :D)
Fun times, my shoulders are absolutely tense after those hours :D
Ttyl ;)
Jazzz...
