Rosemary Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Nix my daughter has her own driving school and testing grounds, and has been giving lessons for about 10 years now. Most of her new students are very nervous to start with, but she says once the lesson starts, they calm down and concentrate, and before you know it they have forgotten about being a wreck Having two lessons together is a real bonus, by the end of it you will know what is expected the next time. Remember that your instructor knows how to deal with any anxiety you may be feeling. Good luck - you will be just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tan J P Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Good luck i'm sure you'l be fine. i was literally shaking on my 1st lesson and my instructor even admitted he didnt think i'd go back but 20 lessons later i passed with flying colours.....so go girl!

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted November 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 lol im learnin in a manual but then i might get an auto lol, suppose if i learn in manual then i can pretty much drive any car lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meeshsalts Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Automatics are less common and in older cars can break and they are very expensive to repair. If you can drive a manual you can drive anything. Learn in a automatic and then driving a manual is not easy. Ask some of our American cousins where manuals are a lot less common than autos.

BlueWolf Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Good luck! You'll have a driving license in no time! I just got my license a few months ago. On my birthday I got a piece of paper from my parents. It said "You get 25 driving lessons from us. Your first lessons starts tomorrow". I was like, WHAT, TOMORROW?! Can't I have some time to prepare or something?! And as luck would have it the first day was in the most snowy and icy periods of the year. In fact, many people didn't came over to my birthday because they didn't dare to drive the roads. Hello? I'm having my first driving lesson here?! In the end the lesson itself went extremely well. The instructor also made me feel how much grip the car has on icy roads. And at the end I already drove in one of the busier streets and it went just fine Now I have my license and I'm extremely happy with it! Suddenly I can get to go everywhere I want! Edit: In the beginning manual seems extremely difficult. But you'll get used to it and now I don't even have to think about it. The Netherlands is a flat country but I can imagine driving through hills and mountains manual would be a must have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
