"L" Plates on for Chloe (Learning to drive)
Morning I mentioned in Vicki's morning thread that Chloe was going to drive her car to work this morning ( Not passed her test yet) with me alongside her!!! ( not sure if that's good or bad )
Well miserable morning here, buckets of rain, but then stopped for a while so we set off ( 5 mins journey - max ). She was so very nervous, even having many lessons, different car, HER CAR and Mum....
She had a stalled start but then was off, drove beautifully, but was hesitant to get into 4th gear ??? said her instructor encouraged her to stay in 3rd ??
As we approached the turn off we could hear police sirens but couldn't determine the direction that they were coming from..... until the police car pulled out right infront of us!!!!! bless her she handled that so well.
Carried on to her place of work, and parked up, still nervous but pleased she did it!!
So, I drove back home, at at the junction left it late and slid across the road!!!! how different cars respond to the wet conditions!!!
All in all an eventful morning, I will pick her up from work this evening too, so that she can drive back home again.
She is due to start with a new instructor this evening, as the previous one was so unreliable and to be honest a complete waste of time and money! I think she may have had 20 lessons with her..........
Wish my girlie luck please x
