Vroom – part 2
Posted: Thu 10 February, 2005 Filed under: General, Resolutions 3 Comments »The lesson actually went really well, I’m pleased to say. There’s an 8-week lead-time for the test itself, and I’ve been told to get it booked. Looks promising, anyway.
This time I’m learning in a Ford Focus. Much much much nicer than the Corsa I was in last time. (And yes, Razorhead, I’d agree, avoid BSM like the plague, they’re toss) For the first time ever, I actually had leg-room – being 6’4″ and the width of the proverbial shithouse, a Vauxhall Corsa is NOT the best thing to be driving. I could definitely get to like the Focus though…
Still, all’s good so far. Oh, and Herself has asked me to point out that she’s been encouraging me to sort out the driving, and NOT nagging…
Focuseseses are lovely. Well, the original ones are. The new ones are just a bit, well, boring.
Hmmm – I’m 6’4″, just started learning driving with BSM in a Corsa, and it seems to be going OK 🙂 Same with me about your indifference towards driving, though – not a lot’s going to change, it’ll just be handy on the odd weekend.
You have to look at your instructor license (it must be shown in the window by law when they are instructing). If it is green, then they are fully qualified – if it is pink they are only part qualified although they are allowed to teach. BSM use lots of part qualified instructors as it’s cheaper for them, although not for the pupil.
