3rd Lesson

The trainer must have read my mind from the last lesson, as this time we headed north through Crawley and Gatwick and on to Redhill and Reigate, which is where the Part 2 tests are performed. Unfortunately, there was an accident on A23, which meant we spent about half an hour stuck in a traffic jam. Note to self: do not take both hands off the steering wheel when slowly moving in a traffic jam 8O

It appears that as I improve on some things, other things start to go wrong – this week my position in my lane was all wrong – I was too far to the right of my lane. The trainer said this was a common habit for experienced drivers, as it affords you more visibility on the road (but it is still wrong).

We practiced doing a turn in the road and left reverse, but I have found that after doing the manoeuvres for a little while, I take longer than normal to accelerate when driving normally (I’m driving like a learner, according to the trainer). Another thing to work on!
