eiffel_71: The Big Match opening title (Default)
Driving lesson before tomorrow's test. Pulled off an OK bay park and parallel park, but decidedly lumpy in places. Came round too sharp on the reverse round a corner and ran into the kerb. During the second half, when I went between two rows of parked cars, I was castigated for not slowing down enough: apparently I made an oncoming car brake and you can get marked down for that. At one junction Peter warned me about hesitating, reminding me you get marked down for that; at another I had to brake sharpish because the car turning in front of me had completely obscured an oncoming car from the left, which Peter still said I should have seen much earlier; at another, because of an oncoming car in the distance on the right, I delayed before moving, meaning Peter was exhorting me to go, then when I finally moved he changed to "Too late now" and I had to sit and wait. So at the end he told me to watch out for junctions, and take care to be alert enough to make the right judgment call as to whether to go or wait.

Fingers crossed that today's got the yips out of my system...
