BlueLion. 21,491 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Having my first driving lesson later... a little later than planned but as soon as money permitted...Just wondering what your first experiences of driving were? I wouldn't call myself nervous or apprehensive; perhaps its just nervous excitement But I shall let you know how I get on... if I survive that is...How did you feel before and after your first lesson?

cfc-meleady 192 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I was really excited for mine, but then again I knew basically everything just needed the experience.My brothers first was a nightmare, he hit the side of the path and blew 2 of the tyers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,959 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Nah, it was fun. Although there were so many things to look at and check during it and I didn't really know where to look first lol. I don't know if I was lucky or unlucky but the instructor was my father, as this is his second job. Sometimes he was easy on me, but sometimes he gave me a proper hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluesChick 1,260 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 My folks made me drive figure 8's around the yard until I had the transition between gears down... they wouldn't let me on the road or get in the car with me until then!!

- 25 - 167 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I was lucky enough to have an instructor with a sense of humour, which put me at ease straight away.No reason to feel nervous or under pressure really, we've all been in the same boat so everyone is pretty understanding of a learner if they make a mistake on the road.Just enjoy it really because eventually you'll probably hate driving after a few years. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChelseaChick 430 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I was well used to driving before I got proper lessons cause I live on a farm and used to practice driving around the yard!! Then I killed a bird. I've my test in a few weeks, been driving about 2 years though and havnt got caught! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldo 868 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I was used to driving too, but I was nervous because there was more traffic. It was like that for the first 10-12 lessons then I relaxed. Really just relax and enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went round the estate six times, then onto a main road... I got into fourth gear and did 55mph, which ain't bad for a first lesson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
