Get my restricted license

november 30th! the day i am eligible to sit my restricted license test.
until then practice practice practice in my car ralphie!!

ok i got my learners when i was 15 on my birthday
and i learnt to drive stick with in a week thanks to my cousins, but i keep putting off getting my restricted now…. im 17 i gotta get it

i would like to get my restricted license

I haven’t actually completed this, but I had it as my Personal Challenge, and as i’ve learnt with personal challenges, it will say ‘failed’ and I won’t be able to change it. So i’m marking this done as my challenge is due in a day or two.

I’m ready to get my restricted, my instructor has spoken to my parents and said they feel i’m prepared. The only thing stopping me is that i’d like to buy my own car to sit my restricted test in. I’ve found the perfect car, except for the price! I have money saved, but not as much as I need. I may find a way to overcome this shortfall of funds stopping me getting my restricted, by borrowing my sisters car to sit the test in. She’s offered to lend it to me for awhile. I’ll see how it goes, and keep posting entries until i’ve really completed this. :)

^{Things i’ve been practicing recently:
Parallel parking
Hill starts
Traffic lights
Roundabouts
Tricky intersections
Changing gears smoothly
Stopping at stop signs
Driving on the open road
Driving on country roads
Driving in the rain
Driving at night
also… i’ve gone for a few long drives recently, 1+ hours.
I really feel i’ve mastered driving :)}

my Mum told me today that her & my father are pretty much going to give me a car. That’s quite motivating…

My instructor says i’m ready! I feel ready too. Now it’s just a matter of when and where. Yes! ;)

iam trying to get my restricts

Drove my Dad around a lot on the weekend just to get the practice in. Their driveway is pretty horrid but I eventually got out of it in reverse. I need more practice on that I think!!

All was well, just need to practice and memorise a few things in the road code.

with my Dad this Sunday. It’s been a couple of weeks due to him being away & me being sick :(

It will be so good to get back behind the wheel :)

I had over 2 hours practice yesterday with mum. I was driving with my brother in the car for only the second time which I wasn’t too nervous about.

Then this morning I took dad driving. I drove him out to breakfast. :) That was almost an hour…

And then I drove mum to Nana’s which is over an hour and a half away. :)
