I don't know if I want to drive. There are so many stupid crazy irresponsible drivers. I was about to cross the road when a car sped through a red light and narrowly missing a family and their baby in a buggy. The only reason they're weren't hit was because a bus driver who stopped at the light bleeped his horn. The most scary thing..my fingers are shaking...was that one of our pupils was hit and died, by a hit and run, two weeks ago. I took my first lesson since last week and was terrified. My concentration was all over the place and I don't know if I can put my and my children life in other drivers' hands. I know it's irrational but.....

I'm feeling better now - the dark cloud has moved on. Had a good lesson and just need to perfect the reverse parallel parking thing. For some strange reason the kerb always expands when I'm reversing!! Charlie cat How you doing?
