Driving Lesson #22: Handbrake Uphill

Today was my first on-road test practice.  My instructor already scheduled my on road test, I should be taking it some time around the end of this month.  My learner’s permit expires early October.  We went up to St. Louis today, all the way to the entrance of the Le Niol and Pascal Village roads.

Driving Lesson #18: Parallel Parking

I don’t really know what happened last week that I was only able to drive a few times.  I will be prioritizing on my driving lessons this week because my instructor wants me to take the off-road test this Friday.  It’s something you can do only on Fridays and I don’t want to have to [...]

Driving Lesson #17: Off Road Test Preps

At around 8am this morning, my instructor called to tell me that he has shifted my driving lesson from 9:15am to 8:45am.  So I quickly got dressed and right on time he was honking the car right outside my place.  So I rushed out and the student who was in the driver’s seat stepped out [...]

Driving Lesson #16 – More Cones + Reverse Parking

Earlier today I walked to the Roche Caiman off-road test area; same place as yesterday to take on a new driving exercise.  But first, I did the cones again first with Mr. R in the car and the second with him out of the car.  I got his approval so we moved on to the [...]

Driving Lesson #14: Back To Cones

I almost forgot to mention that I started driving again yesterday.  I was supposed to start driving on Tuesday, but I texted my instructor and he didn’t get back to me so I called him and that’s when he told me that I could start again starting yesterday.  So I met him at Fresh Cuts, [...]

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 #9: Zig-Zag Through Cones

Today has been the toughest driving day by far because I had to zig-zag through cones.  Not only that, I took over the car somewhere around Union Vale and Castor Road and drove down to town near the bus terminal.  It was around 10:15 by then, and I actually got stuck in traffic.  Here I [...]

Driving Lesson 8: Same Route!

Today’s lesson sucked a little bit.  I didn’t learn as much as I wanted to.  I took the car from the small playground car park, drove it to the Plaisance roundabout through Mont Fleuri and then to the Seychelles International Airport through the same Cascade route.  From there, I drove it back to town through [...]

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 [...]
