I just had my fifth driving lesson. I started off on the main road today. I also got go back to the car park and do some more reversing. I had to drive in figure of eights backwards. I found the stearing easy enough, but I found it very difficult to keep my speed down. On leaving the carpark we went back to small roads, this time the streets at the side of St. Martin’s college. I practiced changing my gear down at the right time and taking the time to have a good look at the road I’m turning into. On such small roads I found I was still attempting to do everything too fast, I found it very difficult to do everything at the slow crawl that was expected of me. On the way home I also enountered traffic lights and a pelican crossing for the first time. Both of which I negotiated smoothly and calmly. Still not hit anyone yet!
