So how many years ago was it that you learned to drive?
It's been 22 years for me. I passed my test just after my 18th birthday. It was my second attempt. I failed the first as I messed up my reverse parking (parallel parking).
The lady who taught me has since passed, but our longstanding joke was that I couldn't reach the pedals properly. She had to put a Yellow pages book (remember them?) opened to the lawnmowers section in order to get the right depth underneath the mat. This obviously raised the floor so that I could reach the pedals properly!
Back then it was totally different to now. I didn't do the theory test. It didn't exist.
Keagan has just started to learn. Our friends own Belt up school of motoring so were able to give us good advice. Keagan had his first lesson with Jo on Wednesday. He's taking the automatic test. Mainly due to cost. You don't need as many lessons so our plan is that Keagan will do automatic, but when he's earning if he wants to go back and do the manuel test he can pay for it himself!
Back in 2012 Keagan went on Belt Up's young drivers experience. Here he is behind the wheel!
Before I go let me do my daily journal prompt. Today's is
You want a new.................?
How very apt. Of course, the obvious answer is a car for Keagan!
I'm joining in with Annie's Friday smiles today!
