I had 2 extra passengers in the car when I started the engine. The seat cover wasn’t fixed properly and it was falling off the seat that I was on so silly me I decided to shift to second gear THEN used my right hand to pull up the seat cover while the car was moving uphill. All of a sudden, the car swerved to the left and my instructor had to move the steering wheel back.
Interesting enough, it was a split second of pulling that seat cover back up that could have made me crash that car into the wall. I must have have been driving absent-mindedly though, because it didn’t really occur to me that it would have been such a big deal fixing the seat cover while driving.
So now I know that I should be comfortable enough before moving the car so I won’t have to fix anything while driving…especially while driving up hill on a curvy road (Bel Air).
I have another lesson tomorrow, but I’m not sure if I’ll be driving on Saturday. I have less than 5 lessons to go before my on road test.

The “I-forget-I’m-the-driver” syndrome. I get it!;-)
Nah, I just forgot that the car moves quite fast even at just 40Kmph.
