Bad habits are not easy to leave, but you can do it.
I change gear quickly too, some people don't like it, but I keep the car in my hands, and keep low fuel and brakes comsumption.
But, since You still have a test, try to get the correct suggested rpm to gear change.
I always try to more…
Of course, the driver should be looking both ways even if its a one way street. As you proved, he should be looking out for cyclists as well as pedestrians etc. more…

Learnin is a practise that too regular.If U don't drive some time, u may not drive proprly.As far as driving is concerned, by and large after learning,same is done by Reflexes of the body.Like U r driving and thinking something else,and u reach your destination.So practise in driving is must,then only u drive perfectly more…

Here, in Brasil, we have a low speed limit. It's a half of maximum speed.
There is a technical explanation, but it's boring!
Basically, you develop the geometry for safe flow at the speed limit. If you are too slow, your car is "pushed" to the wrong direction, in a lateral movement. There's really a better explanation more…
All the best this New Year and if I do have a party I will let you know. I am staying with my family at the moment so I am not sure that would go down to well!...For the future!
And a Happy New Year to you! I don't know whether I will come back to Brighton in the near future Steve but I would most certainly have lessons with you rather than anyone else.
hiya missy, happy new year!!!! thanks for the kind words and its sad that finacial situations can force someone to have to move away!! hope all goes well for you and if you ever come back this way it would be great to start lessons up again i hope?

That's the reason I avoid hospitals and dentists.
Panic usually means that you think too much about something. Frequently wrong about it.
Try to distract part of your mind. Chewing gums or singing songs while driving.
In this case, slow music, please!!

Hi Luis,
Happy New Year to you! It's nice to hear from you. Well, I can't imagine hot weather here for Chrimbo. We've got rain and more rain....not even snow.
I will keep you posted as to my driving experiences to come.
All the best to you.

Thanks for your kind words Luis,
My instructor has told me to relax as well. I am as tense as a coiled spring sometimes so relaxation lessons would be good as well as driving lessons!

Hi Luis,
Yes, parking is a big problem here in the cities too. I have friends who will park the car miles away because they hate parking in awkward places.
I am not sure what my instructor would think if I was singing songs but the chewing gum is a good idea. Thanks for the words of wisdom.

Hi Stephanie.
Laws and roads seems the same anywhere I know.
And idiots too.
They're spread everywhere you may look.
What can we do? Just survive? It's not funny.
I pray for a better world, but we will need better person there.
Thanks for the post.
