Last Wednesday I had my first driving assessment, it was fun. It all went for 2 and a half hours. The first part was all theory and all the eye tests again and then i had to answer questions of pictures of road situations that can occur and then i had to say what signs meant and then i had to do a theory exam.

I passed all those and then i had a half an hour break had some lunch then i had to do the driving practical assessment.

The driving test went with not a problem. The instructor drove the car with the lady that assessed me theoretically and i to a quiet street and then we swapped over and he showed me how they swap the foot pads to the left so i can use my left leg it was an awesome invention.

So i got in and so did he. I adjusted the chair mirrors and everything else that needed adjustment :)

So I turned the car on and first thing that the driving instructor did was turn on the air condition cause it was darn hot.

then he told me to pull out and i checked my windows and everything including my blind spot. I slowly started to accelerate up the road and then he told me to do a sharp break and i slowed safely down and i was like u want me to what???

He said ya go ahead and i checked with the lady in the back and she said its ok they do it all the time. So i did with slow speed of course. So i did and then the car beaked and jerked forward and back. Then he said he just wanted to show me how it feels.

So after that he got me to drive slowly up the road aproach intersections and round abouts and everything went well. I came to a curdasack and that was a bit tricky but dealt with it, made the turn. Basically all they wanted to show me was how to judge breaking distance and how long it takes me to stop or crawl to stop.

The one hour lesson was lots of fun.

After we finished the lesson both instructors asked me if i would like to drive the car back to the hospital and both were happy for me to do so. So I did. We got to the hospital and i parked it first and then i was not happy with how i parked so i reversed and then did it again this time it was perfect.

In a few weeeks i have more lessons coming up. I have to call my dad and let him know cause i need him to fund the lessons :)

Ill keep you all posted with my progress.
