Third lesson

Today is my third lesson.
I failed the "turning left and turning right".
Problems with my steering.
So today repeat the "turning left and turning right".

The instructor today is the same one as my first lesson.
Yeah, the more handsome one.
I was very happy to see him get into the car... heehee!!
He is much nicer than the instructor for my second lesson...
Anyway, today I made the following improvements:
Able to turn without getting out of lane.
Able to signal and change lanes (under guidance of course!)

Now I am driving at around 30kmh instead of 20kmh, (Wahaha!!)
Like a snail crawling a bit faster...
Man, how fast can you go in the circuit with stopping and changing to first gear again and again!?!?
But I still need to improve on the "return", (steering straight after making a turn)
Stopping "gracefully" (The instructor said he want to vomit, because the car is jerking too much!)
Funny thing is, I can go straight on the inner lane, and I tend to zig-zag on the outer lane.
Why? I dunno.....
I was quite happy that the instructor let me stay on the inner lane.
However, I will have to turn a bit faster and sharper,
But I managed quite well, compared to the outer lane.

Results:
Mount the kerb 2 times (same corner... Must be jinxed!)
Engine stalled 3 times (forget clutch)
Zig-zag along the outer lane (Dunno why)

Second driving lesson

Went for my second driving lesson yesterday.
"Why do you keep going to the right?"
"Look ahead! dun look at the line!"
"Why your car stall?"
"Why you forget to press your clutch?"
"You release too fast!"
"Turn a bit only, you turn too much!"

Gosh!
I am no d**n recruit, so stop barking orders at me!
But anyhow, now is the time to make all the mistakes, correct them, and move on.
I must take all the crap, in order to improve.
Anywhere, in anything... Life's like that!
