So I had about an hour's drive leading up to the test centre to warm me up, I was nervous as a wreck. Practice manoeuvre: parallel park, this was fine. Finally reached the test centre, reverse parked in a bay, that was all right. I entered the test centre. Dun dun duuun. Test begins: read a [...]
Lesson 30, total of 58 hours driving, manoeuvre lesson. Bay parking: was all right, parked in the bays now know how to correct whether I steer too early or too late Reverse around a corner: not too bad must remember to start off further away from the kerb Turn in the road: might need a little [...]
Lesson 29, total of 56 hours driving , mock test number four. Good things: show me/ tell me was fine parallel park was good: first turn was a bit late but was not detrimental, good use of brake to control car during second turn and car did not speed up, good distance away from car in [...]
Lesson 28, total of 54 hours driving , mock test number three. Good things: show me/ tell me part was fine reverse around a corner was good, there were a lot of cars so I had to stop and start a lot, in future I can do my mirror checks before the cars have passed me so [...]

Lesson 25, total of 48 hours driving. Good things: reverse around a corner and turn in the road were good parallel park was ok, use brake more Bad things/ room for improvement: bay parking: do not steer so soon lane positioning at roundabouts: hog the fast hand lane less, or move over to the slow lane [...]
My terrible garden needs a lot of work done to it. Weeds are absolutely everywhere. Here is a short reprieve, took hours to get this partially de-weeded. I am determined to have a BBQ this summer.
