My 2nd driving lesson was on 22 Mar 2008, 9am .
My first time driving on the road. So excited, and of course I panicked. When off slowly, very slowly. As I still cannot multi-tasked on the road , got to know the speed of my car, change gear, make sure my car is moving straight, end up, my instructor have to inform me when it is time to change gear and control the steering wheel for me when I am changing gear. (I am so disappointed with my myself, why so nervous??) But one thing that I am happy is , I never '死 车' during the first 45 mins of driving.
But after 45 mins, I 屁股癢decided to adjust my leg as the position of it on the clutch was not comfortable. Haha, my car 'died' the min I raise up my feet while I was waiting for the traffic lights to turn green. My instructor was surprise with my stupid act"你在做什么??? 为什么放 clutch??" I was dumbfound, don't know what got over me, all I want was to adjusted my feet.
After the first time of '死车' my car 'died' more than 3 times within 5 mins. Hia...
I only let go of the clutch once, the rest of the time is because, I cannot stop the car properly, I choose to slow down only when I am near the traffic lights, but it was too late. Nearly bang into the car before me, thus I panic again. i mixed up the brake, accelerator and clutch. I think if my instructor have no control over the brake, his car would be gone... Finally, lesson end... The instructor, his car and I are all in good shape...
3rd lesson on 27 Mar 2008, 8pm. This slot was last min confirm de, so not mentally prepared.
I took a different route today, there is alot of turning, I often never turn enough. This lesson was worst than the previously one. In this lesson, I cannot turn, cannot stop properly. And the best part is, when the instructor is nagging, not to accelerate too much, my feet stepped on the accelerator harder.But, I really not doing that on purpose. There is a lot of car at that time, seeing cars around me, over taking me, make me panic. (I think my heart muscle are strengthen as it gets to pump more during my driving lesson. ) This lesson I learnt how to start a car, when it is stopped at up slope position. I did that well, just that the hand brake was not pulled to the right position when I have to stop the car.
Other than driving lesson, I am busy with work. Other than my routine QA/RA stuff, I need to help out in production and weekend OTs at QC. I like doing all these. Hehe... Must learn more, earn more.
