just got back from my driving lesson. it went so bad got told off for speeding lol

just thinking maybe im not cut out for driving. grants insured on my car maybe just let him have it and do what he wants to it.

 

Keep going, it'll only get better! Learning to drive is one of the things i think every2 should learn

I took 4 tests and 60+ lessons but wouldn't class myself as a good driver, just a nutter

On a serious note ask AJ for some tips as he has just started his new job as a fully qualified instructor

 

pmsl sorry for beepin at u huni didnt realise u were on a lesson

 

thanks for ya support smit.

wow 60 lessons !! i know i should stick at it but im the sort of person that when things get tough i run, think that is what is gettin me down coz i really wanna drive and it would be a big acheivment if i stick at it.

i'll be back to normal soon cruising around witha big smile on my face

 

Speeding aint a problem. I was constantly being told to watch the speed.

Should have seen my first ever 3 point turn. Came out of in 1st at about 6Krpm and 40mph . Instructor just calmly said. "Think we'll try that again!

Oh BTW 2nd test pass.

 

Hi, i hear this alot from learners, but it will get better!
Everyone has good & bad days.
I was giving a chap a lesson yesterday & he almost killed us (tried to take a truck on)
But last week he done really well!
Just stick at it - do you feel comfortable with your instructor? Does he put you at ease?
Pm me your msn addy if you need any tips etc & i'll help you out as much as i can.

 

lol thats ok lou, it made me laugh. it was nice to see someone i knew sort of bought my spirit back up.

lol @ rich i did 3 . turns in an hour lesson no prob its just as soon as i get in the car with marc ( instructor) it all goes wrong. he picks out every lil thing and im like for f**k sake i know what i just did and i know i shouldn't have

 

I know you have to advertise for business when you can.

BUT

The sight of you in a smoking jacket and slippers is probably not what young Jo needs to calm her nerves.

 

I've been told by quite a few learners that im the best instructor they've had
This bird the other day said "i've had 4 different instructors & 40 odd lessons & i still cant get my biting point right"
I had her get it right within 10 mins & then she was doing it correctly for the rest of the lesson

 

hiya aj,

yea i feel comfortable with him but he just makes me sooooo nervous. and he is always making me pull over to talk about the same shit every lesson. im never on msn but would it be ok for me to pm you if i have any wuestions.


feel a lil guilty i just had a go at grant. didnt mean to take it out on him but he was asking what went wrong, nuthink in particular went wrogn it was just a shit lesson and he still wanted to knoe what happened. sorry hunni love you lots

 

see i have no prob at things like that its just he makes me get into second when we are approaching a rounderbout which is fair enuff but he makes me signal way b4 i can see the rounderbout and i feel like a twat doing it

 

Hmmm, if you feel like that you should try changing instructors.
Practice is always gonna be better than talking about things again & again - it gets boring & the pupil dosnt take it in after abit.
Yeah feel free to pm me anytime & i'll do my best to help you out.

 

She SHOULDN'T BE USING HER TEETH AT ALL!!!!!

 

I did tell her that she had to have ALOT of practice

 

he is my second the first woman i had took my money i oaid 200 quid up front on 1st lesson, but then she would cancel and not turn up and when he did she would be late and not give me the full lesson and stuff. i guess i'll just see how it goes im gonna book my theory next week and as soon as i pass that just gonna book my test and book continuous lessons and if i fail at least i know where i'm going wrong if i pass great stuff.

 

Thats bad news.
If im gonna be late i always call the person & let them know & i always give them a full hour (or 2 if thats what they've booked).
Good luck with whatever you decide to do & dont forget to get in touch if you need any help whatsoever!

 

Jo

Personally I wouldnt book a test until you're feeling confident in the car. Chances are you'll fail, then feel even lower.

Try not to take the criticism as negative. if hes repeating himself, then its frustrating for him too. Time in a car is the answer, just keep working at it.

It'll come eventually

EDIT:

Try booking 2 hours slots if you can. That way you'll get into a rhythm after 30 mins and still have a hour or so left to practise.

 

thanks guys, im out driving with grant all the time i think that maybe have the prob coz when his in the car i feel i drive faster just coz he does when his in his car. oh well it will get better...............hopefully !!

 

i accept your apology dont bale me for driving fast,perhaps you do the same with marc as you do with me ie say i know what i did wrong but dont change it!!!


keep trying your a good driver but you get worked up tooo much and then it goes wrong try to be calmer


maybe have another few lessons with marc and if there is no improvent we will get you another instructor

 

That's the spirit Jodie

Good luck

 

you will get there

Just keep goin and dont give up when ye have a bad lesson

 

thanks guys for listening to me moaning lol

 

 

wouldn't worry about it jo. think everyone was crap to start with even if they don't admit it. i was bloody awful and i used to get told off for not driving fast enough, you wouldn't beleive that if you saw me drive now (and with the 3 points on my license! )

stick at it, i nearly gave up but believe me there is nothing like having your own freedom, you'll never look back again, i promise!!

 

 

My instructor was great, about about 20 2 hr lessons and I passed both tests first time

 

there is always one cocky one
