learn to drive

I should be having driving lessons again and I can’t wait.
My dad got his this years insurance quote and they want a little over £400 more than they did last year and he was willing to keep me on but I said he should take me off and have cheap insurance for a while and ring them back up in about 8 weeks time and put me back on then.
Last year he put me on about 8 weeks after he got his insurance quote and only ended up paying around another £300 approx. for me so he is going to try that again.
But in the mean time I might as well have lessons and iron out my really bad habits and learn (again) how to do everything in the order and to the standard expected by the DSA.
So now i need to try and get the instructor I am after, I can fit in around him because I don’t need to have lessons at different times and weather conditions because I have had lots of driving experience over the last 9 months so can face any of them.
I can’t wait, I am excited about now as I am a super confident driver – probably too confident lol so it will be great to have lessons and go for my test!!

Nothing major really, just kept stalling it with nerves and a dodgy knee, I’ll have to book another one

I must of forgot to write about my theory test.
Well all I can say is I PASSED!! hehe… I couldn’t believe it when I was told I has passed because I thought he was joking when he said it lol
I hadn’t done any kind of practice for the Hazard part so was very worried about that and went in not knowing what to expect and I didn’t like the Hazard part of the test if I am honest. You don’t get a good view of the road so can be harder to spot hazards as fast as you might do if you were driving.
I rushed through the questions, I just knew them all but there was one I flagged and went back and read. I think there was 35 minutes something left on the clock when I finsihed. I just didn’t see the point in spending ages and ages reading over the questions and just made sure I read all the answers before picking my answer/s because there sometimes are very similar answers and it could go either way.

29th Jan 2007, 15.27

was going to be 14.10 but they changed it, grr

I found the test centre today and it is a pain to get to I can tell you.
Not been in centre Preston before as wasn’t easy for me but I remember where it is and there is no where near to park so we have to park up before hand so we have to leave her at 9:45 to get in for 10:45. I have to be 15 mins early to sign in.

Up early Monday as I have heaps to do all day, wont get chance for much of a break Monday so have a early night on Monday so can get up earlier than normal on Tuesday and get ready etc and i won’t practice because u could practice too much.

Not long to go, most worried about the Hazard part as I can’t find my CD ROM and didn’t have time to go library today which is a total pain. I will have a quick look tomorrow round this room and hope I can find it as I will feel much better after just one go on it that’s for sure!!!!

My theory test is on the 28th November at 11am. So need to get revising for the theory part, see goal 43!!

Passed the theory test :oD

Totally messed up one of the hazard perception videos by clicking too much and scoring zero but managed to pick up more than enough points to pass anyway so woohoo!

My theory test is a week on Monday, the 13th, I’d better get cramming :oS

my theory test last week, haven’t had the date through yet

I got a pack through from the Sun with some goodies in for the free driving thing.
I should recieve a phonecall from BSM in the next week or so to book an appointment for my free lesson. I don’t know if I will have any more lessons with BSM but I might as well as my free one with them and let them tell me how my driving is but I think I am going private still. hehe
