I had my first driving lesson today, 3 hours and 20 minutes, Started in Brighton, through broadmarsh, Elderslie, Pelham, into Hollow Tree (it got scary up this way), back to Bothwell, out to the highway and back down to Brighton, I swear I was driving for almost 2 1/2 hours before I could find a public loo cause I wasn't going to pee on the side of ( Read more... )

wahoo! well done. thats a huge effort!
getting overtaken is the sucky bit

being convinced by your father that its a good idea to take down your plates is probably more sucky, but overtaking road trains at 150kph is totally awesome also

I didn't care about being overtaken, them being in front of me was better than behind riding my bumper. 70kmh was my max, I was too freaked to do any more

Oooh good one!
I'm still yet to even master the road code.. driving scares me a bit.
Going on the highway on your first driving less though, you're a legend :D

I failed the road code stuff first time I tried for my learners licence last week. I didn't have much choice about the highway, I was just getting told where to go and suddenly there I was and couldn't think of a good excuse to get off it

does driving lessons last so much over there? I'm impressed..here they are 1/2 hour most of the time and we just drive all around the city.

I still remember my first lesson though..it was really early in the morning, before going to school and the teacher made me drive in a stree where I had a channel on one side and there was also lots of fog..I was about to die!

Nah propper driving lessons are 30 mins to 1hour here, but my step father took me, and decided to suprise me, what I thought was a little backroad driving to master being on a road turned into a 3 hour 20 min road trip through the mountains O_O

That will turn you into a perfect pilot in no time! I think I drove so much just once in my whole life!
