Driving lessons: first day
Friday, October 6th, 2006Yeaaaaay! (just trying to free my mind)
After the first contact with my teacher (a man aged approximately 55-60), he suggested me to check the position of the rear-view mirror and the seat (as normal). Note that my experience driving cars tends to zero, anyway he said:
Teacher - OK guy, start the engine, set first gear and go-go!
Me - WTF!?!?
I was a bit scared when he said me this, because we were in the middle of Gijón, with tons and tons of traffic. After a while zig-zagging between cars, vans and buses, fighting with the clutch-and-accelerator-mixture issue and hearing “Nacho, please, go slowly” the class reached the end.
It’s a bit annoying when the teacher helps you with pedals because it’s impossible to know how exactly pedal behaviour is.
In a few words, could be better. I’ll continue improving my skills next week.
