It was brilliant. We drove for an hour around country side and then ventured closer to the town. I am so glad that I wasn't as nervous as i use to be driving near other cars. I think cycling for a few months have help me over come this fear. I knew one of my problem is driving this machine bigger than me which can cause so much trouble for everyone involve, if i don't have any control over it. Seeing other car or trucks next to me is so daunting. So i decided that the only way i could think of getting rid of these fear is to cycle beside these monsters. I live in a town which seem to be busy route for trucks alike. By law we can cycle on the road with them as long as the cyclist follow the rules of the road. I do whimp out when it comes to cycling around any round about so i either avoid them altogether or cycle on the path when i get nearer. And it shows in my driving, I am more hesitand round the round about.
My instructor said that i only need 20 maximum. For me thats great as i had 40 lesson nearly a decade ago and forgot everything that i learnt or so i thought.
I have been watching online clips about driving and found an online driving simulator trial version. It's good to start visualising yourself driving and looking at the sequence for each manouver.
