Driving lesson the fourth.

A dramatic start, as someone fell and needed medical attention on the side of the road, but luckily my instructor knows first aid!

Spent all morning sick with nerves but it went ok really. Even got up to 50mph on a Big Scary Road!*

Next week he wants me properly on the dual carriageway though, idk about that 😬

* for like three seconds, while making a high pitched "eeeee" noise the whole time

@thegiddystitcher honestly it's so reassuring to hear about other adults who don't drive or are nervous learners. it's nearly unheard of here and the odd looks get tiring

@finn It's not exactly usual here either, it's just that I'm old enough to tell people to bog off if they're judgemental about it 😎

Honestly I'd never have been able to do this when I was the "normal" age. But now I've got decades of practise learning new stuff, I know what works for me and what doesn't, and I'd have been more than happy to fire my instructor if he was horrible. The muscle memory is probably taking a bit longer to stick, but that's all 🤷‍♀️
