Lmao, pretty nerve racking. He introduced himself, as did I and then he drove me to this housing estate area where he initially just explained things like movement signal manoeuvre and showed me how to set off. I drove around the block a couple of times and he testing me with things here and there. He explained everything slowly after stopping but honestly nothing felt like it was going in, the bite/clutch combined with giving it gas was the hardest thing for me. He said he was surprised i didnt stall once in the entire lesson but afterwards I figured out it was because I had my foot on the clutch all the time lmaoo i was shocked he didnt realise that. He drove me back though, second lesson was pretty much similar to it. My third lesson, I went to a new instructor (reccmmended by a friend) and I learnt more in that one lesson than I did in two of the instructors lessons combined. Mainly because his car was much easier to drive (His was a Yaris 1.4 Diesel and the old instructors was a 1.1 Clio Petrol iirc) and because he let me get on with the driving and not stop me every two seconds which didn't give me a chance to get a proper feel for the car.
I would not want to go through that experience again, the first lesson was scary and its very frustrating when you don't improve in the second. Its SO important that you have a good instructor at the beginning. After a while I just felt like I didn't need an instructor tbh, just needed practice on road..more road time and I was sorted.
