36. 3rd Driving Lesson

[pinikir]

Oddly I was more nervous about this lesson than the first two. I don't know what started that off. However the right hand turns were much better. I was pulling out smoothly and had definitely lost the edge of panic.

Now I have an aversion to roundabouts where I am hesitating now and using my mirrors before indicating. I caused some laughter by muttering mirrors mirrors to myself.

I only have one hand so I drive an automatic. But the fun bit I thought interest you all is the adaption that goes on the wheel (mine goes on the left side)

I think you are doing just fine. ^_^ Good luck with it!

You know, before a couple of years ago I'd never driven around a "roundabout" before. They're getting more common here, but for my entire driving life I'd only done 4-way or 2-way stops. It took me FOREVER to get used to them and not freak out. I'm better now after so much practice, but--although I see how much safer they are--there's just so much to process. Mirrors, mirrors, mirrors =D

On the adaptation, what does the part that looks (to me) like a doorknob do? The rest is pretty self-explanatory ^____^

The knob allows me to control the wheel one handed, it's my nifty one hand on the knob function
