    its only your 3rd lesson...
    Think about it this way if you didnt like a job on the 3rd day would you quit then?
    If i did I'd never be employed!
    Stick with it the first 5 or so lessons are always scary but you will see how quick you improve, i remember when i was learning nearly 5 years ago I was so scared of roundabouts especially big ones for ages, but my instructer just kept making me do them until i was comfortable. Stick at it and think about where you can drie once you pass

    I remember when I started, it was so much to take in and remember.

    It does get easier though. Roundabouts are quite easy when you get used to it. Just keep going and you'll find it gets easier.

    You just need to keep at it. Roundabouts are scary the first time you do them but you get used to them. I was terrified the first time I had to do one but now I'd say they're one of the things I feel completely comfortable doing. Keep at it! Winners never quit and quitters never win.

    Is it changing the gears you find difficult or knowing which gear to select that you struggle with?

    It took me till 2 lessons before my test to be able to go from 5th to 3rd properly
