Let’s go cruizin’…
My very first driving lesson was on Monday.
Considering that I have not actually driven before the lesson, I was pretty much shaking when I got into the car. The norm thing to do here when you first get a Learner’s licence is to drive as much as possible to get as much pratice as possible before lessons start so that you don’t look like a total dumb ass in front of your teacher. However, as usual, my parents refused to be part of the norm and insisted that I should learn from scratch all the ways and methods aof driving; even cabin drill. According to them, it had something to do with ‘me not copying bad driving habits from either of them’. Personally, I think it was both cars are comparatively new (only a year plus old), and the cars’ welfare was higher on top of the priority list. LOL…
Well, not to say that I am a bad driver or anything, because my teacher was quite pleased about my driving that first lesson. Apart from the fact that I forgot to look for any cars coming from my left before I turned into a roundabout and I almost ran the car into an orchard of orange trees, he said that I did pretty well. =)…It did help that he had a safety break pedal on the passenger side of the car that he could use in case I couldn’t break in time.
I actually did have a lot of fun! He actually let me do a little speeding on the highway. I was so pumped that I wanted to do it all over again, so I booked another lesson this coming Monday! I can’t wait! The only thing is though, fees are pretty expensive. Its A$ 50 per lesson, it doesn’t matter if its less than the standard hour my lessons are suppose to last. If I only have a 30 minute lesson, I still have to pay A$50. That’s like RM 150!! But yea…since my parents agreed to pay for it, I’m not complaining. I guess though that sometime in the near future I would be expected to contribute too….*sigh*..
