Drove in Sydney's CBD ahhh. Wasn't too bad- very traffic and rain so there was a lot of stopping.

There was an ambulance at one point and I slowed down for it and it didn't go and I was like tf and I drove past it and my instructor was like 'woah woah woah you're meant to give way to it'. I swear it wasn't blaring so it wasn't in an emergency. Lesson learnt for next time.

Drove in a tunnel for the first time.

Last driving lesson next week!

So I learned how to parallel park today- which is surprisingly easier than having to normal park ahahha.
I like how there's a formula when parallel parking, because when I just normal park (you know the type of parking when you just drive straight into a parking space), I'm always off. I don't know when to exactly full lock the steering wheel and drive into the parking space.

But A N Y W A Y S, at least I learned how to parallel park and I feel really good about it.

I don't have anymore driving lessons with NRMA. I'm gonna try and do at least two hours per week from now on. I can apply for the safe driver's course when I've got 50 real hours!! Apparently only one hour counts from my 3 for 1 driving lessons so once I reach 65 hours (50 official real hours), I can do the safe driver's course!!!

I calculated that I just need to drive two hours per week til January 24, 2019 to get to my 65 hours goal. (*I mean I could technically get to my 65 hour goal earlier than January but it really just depends on my mother and her availabilities)

I can't believe it's been 11 weeks since I started my driving lessons. Time flies...

I haven't driven in so long and I feel that my driving skills are getting out of touch AHHHHHH

It's ironic because I'm off from university for the next four months yet no driving has been done since my last update smh

I'll get it done I swear !!

Ah yes hello I have finally driven my god. I was weirdly having withdrawals for not driving for nearly two weeks. It is such a joy! Though I have somewhat lost the capacity to reverse park properly. Besides from that, drive was good today.

I've been a bit rusty with my driving in the last two weeks but making some good progress I think. I'm annoyed at myself for doing dumb things on the road ie forgetting to signal or pressing on the brake when I'm so close to an intersection or not being able to park properly. Did some night driving for the first time and I didn't realise I had my high beam on until someone was blinking their lights at me. To all the drivers I drove past last night: I'm sorry for my high beam.

Drove in heaps of different areas today! The motorway, the CBD (by accident), near the beach etc.
Also drove to this super nice area that my parents have never been to before and they were super happy.
This is really great motivation for me to get my P's because I would love to drive them around to nice places like I did today.

Just needed to post in this thread as it's been a while + need to keep track of my day and night hours because they confuse me.

I'm more confident with reverse parking now !!

The best way to start!

You should also think about doing a safe drivers course now. You could bump that up to 79hrs 50mins in a day  ;)

Hello Adam!

I'm gonna do the safe drivers course very soon. I did 10 driving lessons back in August to October 2018 so technically 20 of my hours aren't real since they're bonus hours from my driving lessons (if that makes sense lol ??) I would have to wait 'til I hit 65+ hours because I would've done 50 real hours by that time. This whole bonus and real hours thing is so confusing aha.

If I can, I'll try to do the course in the third week of January. If I don't reach 65 hours by then (I probably won't because I've committed to so many things this month!), I'll just do it in February. Either way, I'll definitely do the course before I go back to uni :)

Either way, I'll be encouraging you regardless!
