Planning to book my next whilst I'm still in the car haha.
That was the only way to get me to do driving as well... in saying that I need to restart my lessons as well :/. But yeah always book the next one after your lesson or else you forget to book it.
Jack of all trades, master of none.
Hence why i'm in all these different threads and boards.

It's time for me to actually start entering my driving times in my log-book, instead of just taking photos of the odometer and saying that I'll do it later...

... Who are you and what have you done with Joseph41?

In all seriousness, good on you! I've been driving pretty much every other weekend for the past two years and still at only about 60 hours, be glad you don't have to complete the hours requirement (but make sure you get enough practice enough before hitting the road on your Ps). When I first started I was so excited to be going 30kph, and now 80 seems slow haha. You going to be driving manual or automatic?

I look forward to hearing about your near-death experiences :)

Hey Joseph, Congrats on taking a hugee step in your driving journey! I've got my Ls too, but constantly asking my parents and friends for lifts (when public transport isn't handy) honestly makes me feel a bit guilty.

My dad's been showing me the basics, but having a driving instructor sounds great too since they're experienced in teaching! Would you mind sharing your instructor's details? And just a general question, how are the lessons structured?
