Yes,
that’s right at the ripe age of 19+21 it was time to get some
wheels.
Being
a girly girl the first thing I decided on was what car I was going to
get once I passed. This was essential to keeping me motivated!
Automatic
or manual?
I've
actually had lessons in both types of cars.... but no changing gears or
clutch control???!!!
Automatic
it is!! I'm sooo done with changing gears!
Finding an automatic driving instructor in the Cardiff/Vale area was not easy. There's little choice but I imagine in bigger cities there's loads. The price for automatic lessons are a smidge more expensive than manual at around £22. Some people say the price of lessons are more expensive as its quicker to learn in automatic than manual.
Whilst
finding a driving instructor was difficult - finding one that could get
me to pass was even harder! Fast forward 8 months & 5
driving instructors later I found Chris - 07742 136769. Brilliant instructor,
friendly, knowledgeable & he drives an auto mini.
Perfect!!
I
worked hard for about 6 weeks with up to 2 double lessons a week. I've failed 3 times before and spent a lot of time & money getting to this
point (that's why I've had to cut back on blogging) but I would not
give up.
I'm
glad I stuck at it as 2 week's ago I passed!!
I’m
dead chuffed to have passed– driving that Mini gave
me life!
After
I passed my test I went to work, looked at potential
cars in the evening & had a little tipple to celebrate.
Champers
of course!
Learning
to drive was challenging but now it seems choosing a car is almost as
difficult!
Watch this space and I'll let you know what I bought :)

Jess, I remember talking to you on Twitter about it. Try automatic if you can. I passed on my 4th time so I know you can do it.
