Driving Lesson #26: Shut Up and Drive

I drove out of my house’s parking today, and I was really annoyed at my instructor because he kept his foot on the clutch which confused me (I had my foot on accelerator, let go of clutch and the car still wouldn’t move) until I realized he was messing with me.  So I actually raised [...]

Driving Lesson #21: Off-Road Final Prep

This morning, I woke up really early and actually forgot that I had a driving lesson.  It was 40 minutes before the time I was supposed to begin.  I quickly wore something casual and random, and just as I was about to exit the door I heard my driving instructor honking outside on the main [...]

Driving Lesson #20: More Off-Road Preps

Today was an ‘okay’ day.  I arrived about 10 minutes before my lesson, and the instructor arrived 2-3 minutes after my lesson was supposed to begin.  As I ran towards the car, I took a deep breath and reminded myself “today is a new day…”.  He got out of the car and immediately told me [...]

I Miss My Driving Lessons! :(

It’s only been two days since my last driving lesson and I already miss it! I’m having a hard time thinking how I’ll spend the coming week without it.  My twin sister also studied driving with the same instructor, and I asked her how many lessons it took for her to finally get her license.  [...]

Driving Lesson #10: Repeat “Tough” Road

I met my instructor at Fresh Cuts by lunch time.  I thought we were on our way to the stadium to practice with cones.  To my surprise he apologized and then told me to drive into town and then do the North East Point route again.  I was alright with it because I remember the [...]

Driving Lesson #7: Clutch Control

I can actually say that I might be getting the hang of driving in general.  Okay, so I haven’t been taught how to reverse yet, but all in all, I do drive with confidence.  Earlier today, a student picked me up from my home with Mr. R on the front passenger seat.  So I watched [...]

Driving Lesson #5: Things Are Getting Serious Now!

Yesterday when I asked Mr. R (my driving instructor) what the plan was for today, he said that I would be taking the same airport route I did for 2 consecutive days.  So here I was expecting to make the same route.  When I arrived at Stad Linite 5 minutes late for my lesson, there [...]

Driving 101: My First Driving Lesson!

I had my first driving lesson today, and I was actually surprised at how I handled the car.  I’m paying Rs.90 ($7.50) per lesson.  It’s unbelievable how much I’ve already spent and I barely just started (in terms of cost of living in the country). Theory: Rs 50 ($4.16) Medical Test: Rs 350 ($29.10) Learner’s [...]
