Had my first driving lesson today (well just now actually XD) and it was freaky and exciting at the same time XD
I was kinda worried at what my driving instructor would be like at first, but she seems really nice and bubbly so I could relax that she won't be the kind to scream at you when you make the tiniest mistake XD
First she asked me if I had any experience driving anything before, and I really wanted to say yes, I've played mario kart and gran turismo (but I didn't XD)
And then we went through the first procedures before actually driving the car (which I was grateful of because I didn't have to start driving it right away XD)
And had to switch places with her so that I sat at the driver's seat, which seems so scary once you're in it and the stering whell looked big and scary _A_
God knows how she can trust learners to be at the wheel whilst she's at the passengers seat...although she does also have control on the clutch pedal and break pedals
But anyways...
I was finding it quite difficult to remember all the things she were telling me about and was glad that the massive mountain of information soon came to an end
And soon I was having to learn how to drive and stop =S
It was sooo scary at first, like I was kinda freaking out and forgetting what she told me to do, but thankfully she kept reminding me and instructing me on what to do.
And soon I got going at snail's pace - I didn't check at what speed I was going at - but to me it seemed way too fast XD
And I had to swerve around a parked car (which I almost hit DX)
But after 2 more tries I soon got the hang of things I could calm down a bit (it was still hard for me to relax though =S)
And then soon instead of stopping every 5 metres, I was having to drive to the end of the road and make a turn which wasn't as scary at first because there was no car coming, but then after a few turns I saw a car and actually freaked out (which lead me to stall the car XD)
But soon got going again and thought I was getting the hang of it, until I got to a narrow road and a car was coming in the opposite direction and I started freaking out again at how close the car was....
I stalled a couple of times, and had to be told to accelerate a bit more because I was literally going at 10mph and freaking out about how fast I was going...XD
Soon she taught me how to change gears to 2nd gear and then one of the roads that we repetively went on started becoming way to busy for my liking and I *ahem* almost hit a car as I tried to turn because the car would not turn properly (must be because I wasn't going very fast), and it was way too scary....(>_<)
But despite all that I was having fun especially when I soon had the courage to go up to 20mph (which I was quietly freaking out but was thrilled at how fast/normal pace I was going XD)
And before I knew it, it was the end of my lesson for the day and I was sweating like mad and only when I got home, I found that I was shaking like mad as well...XD
But it was an amazing experience!
And I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait for my next lesson next week XD
