Daily Life...
LOL!!!My last driving lesson was quite a great one - minus the fact that a arrived at the school slightly later than i thought. I was supposed to learn the anticipation or traffic lights and when to brake when you approach one. I also had to learn the principles of Priority at Junctions, meaning who goes first when you have to turn at a junction. Most of my lessons took place outside the test-track, and my instructor said I was a little too fast for a learner driver. I don't know if he meant that I was driving above the speed limit of the road or I was learning too fast. Either way he did asked me if I had driven before. Well, I did, minus the actually lessons I went for in school, i did drive my father's old Honda Civic VTi at his working place when no one was looking, and twice in Brisbane, Australia. Both the cars were automatic and when i had to drive a manual transmission car, things were a little bit different. Didn't take long to put things right though.Many learner drivers i know think that 60kph is a little too fast for them, but for me, I felt so planted and safe, and I'm not joking, though i try to keep my speeds in check every 5 seconds. Then at the last part i drove back to the test-track to learn how to negotiate a tight S-Bend. The bend, frankly speaking, was really very tight, but i had no problem going round it. I even though the driver in front of me was too slow and wanted him to go faster. At that point my instructor told me I had potential to be a good driver, but not to be complacent.That led to two possibilities - I would become a racing driver like Lewis Hamilton, or end up in jail for not being able to control a fast car but still insisted on buying one. Only time will tell.I went to my cousin's place to have dinner and play Audition. I still haven't got my number pad ready to play Beat-Up and 8-Key modes, but I'll be getting it soon.=)
None of which matters to us <3.
