Bea needs to get her P's

On a very similar note to J41's driving thread, I too need to get it together and learn how to drive. I should technically be on my green P's by now but I've been putting off driving for years. I've had my learner's license since October 2016 and drove for one hour back in 2017. I've been super reliant on the public transport in my area but it's about time I go get my P's.

I've got a list of 11 P-platers (possibly more?) I owe multiple rides to. I admire their generosity and patience to drive me around, pick me up from stations and drop me home. But most of all, I owe my mother a shit ton of rides. She didn't learn how to drive until she was 35 and the main reason she only started to drive was because she wanted to drive me to school when it was snowing (when we used to live back in the UK). She inspires me for being the only family member who could drive so I would love to repay her back the favour.

But also I just wanna go to drive through's so I don't have to keep paying the delivery fee on Uber Eats hohohohoho.

As of right now, I currently have 8.5 hours in my logbook. I had my initial lesson with NRMA last week and I had another lesson today. My driving instructor told me I was quite a good driver for someone who's only done two lessons so he made drive on the main road today and all the roundabouts in my area.

Driving is actually quite fun surprisingly. I hope to have my P's by May(?) next year.

Please join me in this journey as I walk one step closer to adulthood :)

Sounds like you need some accountability.

hey what's up you guys yes

I had another driving lesson with my instructor. I drove around this quiet area near my place for about 15 minutes.

I don't know if it was a good or bad idea to tell my instructor I needed to go shopping afterwards because nek minnit I'm driving on the motorway at 80km/hr to head off to a nearby Westfield and I'm surprised that I'm still alive. To be fair, driving on the motorway is not bad as it is just driving in a straight direction. It's just trying to merge, swapping lanes and turning is my worst nightmare. I wouldn't stop screaming and swearing in the car ahaha.

Nearly bumped into a car when I was trying to merge rip.

I find it so weird that it doesn't matter if you're driving at 20km or 80km, it feels the same.

My instructor told me that in my later lessons, he's gonna make drive in the CBD, in the tunnel and even the Harbour bridge itself which is WILD. I can't imagine myself driving on the bridge.

Can't wait for next week! Driving is so cool and so fun ;D I don't understand why I didn't do this earlier hohohoho

hey guys welcome back to my youtube channel

ANYWAYS i drove with my driving instructor (again lol) for one hour. we practiced turning corners, swapping lanes and parking. We drove places near my house and the beach.

So that’s 13.5 hours on my L’s so far (don’t think I could include my 1hr from 2017 because I forgot to get it signed oops).

Am hoping to get more hours when we go to the countryside this weekend :-)

I drove for the first time using my mother's car yesterday because I wanted to test it out. I drove for (literally) five minutes and my mother told me afterwards that I can only drive her car (for reals) once I've finished all my 10 hour driving lessons with NRMA lmao. I found my mother's car's brake and pedal to be a lot more sensitive than the one I use for my lessons and the steering wheel harder to work.

Don't think there's any point in logging five minutes into my log book aha

I am actually pissing myself with this. Omg

I drove for the first time using my mother's car yesterday because I wanted to test it out. I drove for (literally) five minutes and my mother told me afterwards that I can only drive her car (for reals) once I've finished all my 10-hour driving lessons with NRMA lmao. I found my mother's car's brake and pedal to be a lot more sensitive than the one I use for my lessons and the steering wheel harder to work.

Don't think there's any point in logging five minutes into my log book aha

When I was on my L's I literally logged everythinggg. Even the trips that were 5 minutes, if that was 5 minutes of my mother yelling at me 'SLOW DOWN!' or 'YOUR CREEPING LEFT!' then it was a damn 5 minutes worth her signing off on lmao
