A great day :) even LVG couldn't ruin

Anyway what did you do in your first ever 2 hour driving lesson. Once you get used to it you get the hang of it. The hardest part I found was braking and then pushing clutch down. I finally got the hang of it by the end. Indicators easy enough, the check you do before you drive off and pushing button then pushing up then down of handbrake. I liked the fact if you have a firm enough push on clutch pedal you don't roll but if you let go you can use it to roll forward.

I accidentally floored it slightly once to 30mph before going back down to 20mph whoops unless it was KMPH. It must have been 32kmph so about 20mph.

The hardest part I encountered was braking to a standstill and as you go down to about 5mph you have to get ready to push clutch pedal down quickly. I nailed it at the end though or be it had one shocking one where I stalled it. I realised you are supposed to gradually press brake and then push clutch down in one go at end. Anyway used indicators to drive off I had to do cockpit drill before driving off.

The other hard part was when cars were parked on the left and a blind corner was coming up I managed to keep to the right and as I passed the the car on the left I went back into the left lane and then a car came soon after on right lane. I gave way a few times to make sure it is clear in other sections.

I never hit a kerb or anything at least. I think I need to drive closer the cars in the roads with cars parked though but I wanted to feel safe when going passed them so I left a decent amount of space.

I reckon parking will be tough and changing gears. At least the car I drove the Vauxhall Corsa has a reverse button you have to press before being able to put it in reverse. I had to remember when braking to keep pushing the clutch until I change gear to neutral and then I can put the handbrake on. Turning the car on was easy the first 2 turns just turns light on dashboard and the third one starts the car.

Anyway a great day indeed. By the end of the lesson I mastered braking to a standstill in smooth motion without stalling it. One other thing my driving instructor had recently been to OT and I said the same thing that I had been too. BTW I drove a newish Vauxhall Corsa. Didn't check what litre the engine it is though.
