The learning to drive thread (that means you as well Northener)

[oliveoil]

Right. Have got my form for my provisional. Although I do have one from eons ago, with the wrong address on.

Anyone else?

Come on, I can not be the only biddy not able to drive.

Chop chop.

god that's IBM,is the heat i swear,don't take any notice

lol, poor whymummy. The heat is getting to me too. Hope u get on better with another instructor.

good luck whymummy.

thanks i will let you know
i keep saying the wrong words today i think the heat has killed my last brain cell

kelly, i'm gonna have to reurn your payment to you from my paypal as i am not set up for CC apparently, can u resendf it to my dh account billybass_no1 (at) hotmail.com later when you have confirmation i have sent it back.

cancel that, just upgraded so have accepted it.

no probs.

xed post. ok then

sorry, thought i needed a CC to upgrade my account but dont have one. heat has got to me today as well

ok,i have my next lesson on thursday and i will tell him that i'm changing schools,i know he'll probably be upset as he thinks the problem is me and not him but i need to give it another try with someone else.
thanks again if it wasn't for you i probably would have stopped trying

whymummy this is why i love you, you know

awwww i love you too

just another sign that my brain ain't working today,dh came home and i told him i want to change driving schools,he said "try the british school of motoring" and i said "no,i'm going to call BSM" doh!

Can I join? Been learning for 2 years on and off. Failed 4 (oh yes) tests. Doing theory test again 1st july booking test again as soon as I pass that. Took my last test over a year ago.

I can do pretty much everything. Find reversing round corners to be a bit of a challenge though. Doing killer parrallel parks at the moment, fab.

whymummy, PMSL

LOL misdee
hi smurfgirl,reading your post i realised he's not teaching me any of those things you mention,all i do is drive or turn the car

hi,how are you all doing?
my instructor was 40 minutes late yesterday and i told him not to bother,i will go to BSM next week,is it true they only do 2 hour lessons and is £45?

it could be. mine is paid for at a reduced rate. think my driver instructor said it was 22.50 an hour. they recommend 2hour lessons as you leartn so much more. i spend about an hour of each lesson practising manouvres and about 1hour of driving.

sounds good misdee,that's probably what i need,how are you doing?

kelly, found the discs

also have driving theory book here if uwant that? tho one discs has the questions on it anyway.

I think your first lesson with BSM has to be 2 hours but not the ones after that.

2 hour lessons are so much better tho. even today when i fell apart at some nasty traffic lights, and had to stop afterwards (even tho i actually did them perfectly.) i felt i had enought time to get back into driving and could forget it.

he has recommended i try bach's rescue remedy.

Am taking a test in 4 weeks!

I got let loose on proper, busy roads for the first time yesterday. Was bloody scary, especially when realised was going have to do roundabout.

My instructer doesn't really do 2 hours, I have 90 mins. He thinks 2 is too long, and I know atm I would get tired if I did that long. I'm having two a week now tho, so I dont have to leave it so long and forget stuff.

missdee I've got the books I need thanks, just need discs. Its the hazard bit I'm most worried about.

good luck mumforfirsttime.

spent today practising manovres. watched someone on a test doinga revrse round the corner and turn in the rd. he did it very slowly but didnt make any mistakes as far as my instructor could tell.
