Hi all,

Just thought I'd write to say I had my first proper driving lesson today! I loved it, was great! :) Have been out driving with Dad for the past two weekends, and am really getting to grips with things. I'm actually quite surprised at how well I'm doing already - didn't stall at all today, hill starts were fine, drove around all the local villages and did a three point turn too! :cool: :D

Really looking forward to going out driving with Dad again this coming weekend, and to my next lesson (next week).

:)

Glad to hear it's going well, Ollie...and I hope it continues to do so.

Your post made me feel rather old though, as it made me think about my first driving lessons...which were more than a decade before you were born!

:eek:

One of the most nerve-wracking time of my life was my driving test.
<big head mode on>
I passed my test 5 days after my 17th birthday however, and passed my Advanced Motorists Test when I was 18
<big head mode off>

Learning to drive was the best thing I done and still enjoy driving now - hope you do too ;)

I was so nervous last night & this morning (ask John (Twinspin)), but my instructor is so nice, all my nerves went when I got in the car :)

I don't blame you.

For me, it was really exciting getting home from my test, taking off the L plates & going for the first drive on my own!

Sounds like you'll be having the same feeling before long.

:D

Haha! Nah it was good, really enjoyed it! Can't wait until the next one!

I had considered filming a day out driving with Dad... would need a lot of editing to be suitable for all ages - but would be hilarious viewing ;) :sj:
