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.<br /><br />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?<br /><br />But if he says I'm a natural driver than I'm rather proud of that. LOL<br /><br />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.<br /><br />The labour costs in the UK is quite ridiculous.<br /><br />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?'<br /><br />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.jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01543559145385493279noreply@blogger.com3
