OUT!!

Driving lesson taday was super fun, but tiring as well. When i used to be a passenger, i thought that driving was fun stuff. haha.. But I now realise how tough it can be. Well, maybe it'll be fun once i manage to get my concepts right. This was my 3rd lesson and we went out of the driving circuits-into the streets. can you believe that?? I was thinking that i'll only be able to get out after atleast 10 lessons or so, since i stll felt that i'ld be a dangerous person on the road. but nope- i didn't have any accidents today- thanks to my instructor, who saved me several times. The worst part was when a bus drivir horned at me from behind- cos i took too long to move:(
I think i've to put in some effort to correct my mistakes. So, i shall acknowledge some( the more common ones) of them here:

When moving off from rest:
1. fails to ensure that the gear is at the 1st gear
2. Takes a long time to get biting point
3. while trying to get my biting point, i tend to accelerate too harshly(cannot hold my acceleraton pedal at the right position)
4. After getting the biting point, i tend to release the clutch too fast; this makes the car jerk forwards.
5. as a result of 4., my engine stalls.:(

Things to remember:
when moving off:
hold pedal A after holding pedal C just B4 biting point, and slowly release pedal C
when changing gear:Reduce the effect of engine brake by pressing A up & C down @ the same time.

Last few notes to self:
do look at the traffic light & be patient with the car-it has been very patient with you.

i drove a total of ~24km today:)
