Dual Carriageways

I was more nervous that usual today, even contemplated chucking the whole thing in last night, in a moment of weakness.

The main way through town was chock-a-block with traffic. so we went the back roads, down all the country lanes, back over to Taunton.

I did ok today, Only managed to stall 3 times, which is a major improvement on previous weeks.

Didnt do any stupid mistakes today, remembered to use the brakes, and even used the gears as much as I could remember. At one point I was doing 60 miles an hour although, I didnt really feel in control of the car at that point.

Nigel, my instructor, told me to drive a little way only holding the steering wheel with my right hand. As I seem to steer to the left when changing gear, not sure what that proved cos I wasnt changing gear when he told me to do that anyway.

Week off next week as I am in Belfast, at a friends wedding. I'm quite relieved not to behaving a lesson if i am honest
