I can drive!

I passed!

From the "You Can't Win" Files:

I was told before the test to make sure I checked my mirrors and didn't speed. i was told (over and over every lesson) to not worry so much about parallel parking, that I was fine at it and to concentrate on speed and mirrors.

I nearly failed the test today because I drove too slowly, used the mirrors too much (!) and failed to correctly parallel park within 2 minutes (think it was about 2:20).

I feel slightly vindicated, and am glad the tester was nice about it!

It may be time for a Victory Drive...

(no subject)

Back from my Victory Drive! I went to Aldi and did the weekly shop (I know we had plans to go on Saturday _audhumla_, but we had no food left, sorry!)

It's amazing the effect of putting up the green P plates (I get to go straight to green because I am Old and therefore Responsible and Not a Speed Freak...suckers!) Suddenly everyone was waaaaaaaay less of a dickhead at me. I pledge here and now to always always be nice to Learners, even if I'm in a hurry.


Driving on my own was fun and liberating, I had a sing and and nice little chat with myself.

I forgot the milk. Bollocks.
