How did others find theirs? Mine was really good!

I was told I did a few perfect starts, i.e. clutch control and biting point were good, and im good at looking in my blindspots

so overall, really chuffed.

how was everyone elses?

Mine was good, my instructor spent a while talking but when I finally got to drive things went pretty smoothly :smile:

Just had my 3rd lesson now.

Are you doing one hour or two-hour lessons?

Mine was ok. Tbh I can't remember too much about it because I was so nervous. I spent the first lesson in an industrial estate though getting used to everything so there wasn't much that could go wrong!

After a while, it becomes second nature to you. I've had 16 hours, and covered everything (although I did have a bit of experience before). Got my test booked, for just over 3 weeks away!

For your theory - REVISE. Get a CD, learn everything, then do at least 30 papers. Learn the questions (and answers :p:

)!

Good luck, driving is fun! :biggrin:

My first driving lesson was spent in the car, having the car controls explained to me. I never even got to move off till my second lesson but have now had around 23 lessons of driving.

Thank god I have changed to a different driving school! :biggrin:

one hour lessons. but might double book for a couple of lessons in easter. that way can rack up some hours.

my instructor is a bit eccentric!

Just had my first driving lesson this morning!!! Was soo nervous, but excited too! Did 2 hours, and was driving around a little bit after about 40 minutes. I stalled once, haha, but not too badly. The hardest thing was deffo steering, I thought that would be easy! Went into the kerb once or twice when parking, oops. Lol. Next double lesson Thursday morning! Trying to remember the order you do everything! :biggrin:

On my first ever driving lesson (ages ago now) i just got told the basics, like all the stuff in the cockpit etc. And started and stopped a few times and drive along the road.

Ok, expected to do better in terms of learning controls but never been near a car before so not going to be perfect but drove about 200 yards and practised stopping and starring, quite enjoyable :smile:

Urgh I hate driving. I felt so ill before my first lesson and it never got any better. Still feel that way now after months! Not quite as bad but can't eat before a lesson! I guess some people are just more 'natural' at it than others. I also think it helps the younger you are; less fear!
