I have indeed, FINALLY, decided to take some driving lessons. It's a rather handy qualification. Bought 20 hours worth of lessons in one go and now I'm up to my 11th hour. So just 9 more hours to go. It'll fly by. 2 hours every week and voom, £300 gone.
Not a bad experience though and my instructor adores me. HAHA. That's a good thing. He said I'm such a fast learner that I could take my practical test in no time. Usually people of a higher education degree learn slower than those who do more piratical things. So should I be happy to hear such a compliment or should I worry about my future?
But if he says I'm a natural driver than I'm rather proud of that. LOL
A couple of people have asked me what car are you driving now? My immediate answer was it's 'black' that's all I can tell you for now. I have no idea of anything about cars. So after a couple of weeks I finally remembered to ask my instructor 'so what's the brand of your car?' He was quite shocked I didn't know. And apparently, it's a Mercedes. Just look how rich you can be when you're a driving instructor in the UK.
The labour costs in the UK is quite ridiculous.
It was funny when I first started. I was and is still a problem child. Questions after questions. I would not stop asking the instructor. For example, 'is my car actually on the road?, if that lorries comes any closer would I actually crash straight into it?, why do those lights blink all the time?, what's that sign over there?, do I go use the inner or outer lane for this rounder-about?'
And yes, you are correct to be thinking that this girl has not even done her theory test yet. Thinking about it, it's strange that you don't really need to take your theory test first before you could start learning to drive. Don't quite understand this logic but it's fantastic for me cause I just don't have the time to do my theory test now.

UK's traffic rule looks extremely complicated, but maybe it's only to those who haven't taken a driving lesson here - like me.
Jia you Jia you, I will need to get mine soon I think. But having a car isn't very practical for me at the moment. But even though, driving license is important.
About the theory test, I think by letting you experience the practical side of driving first, then all the rule and theory will make more sense.
Jia you!
oh, I enjoy this entry very much!!!It is a good essay indeed!!funny,delicate,thoughtful,delighting... haha...

^^ Rich: you should start learning driving again! But I know you don't really need a car for now. London is just too annoying to have a car and having to maintain it.
Ruby JJ: thank you for dropping by even though you are so busy with work. I'm trying hard to add some entertainment into my blogging as my life at the moment is rather dead. I'm going to be rather dead soon.
OMG!
