Today is my FIRST driving lesson.I have decided to start up a blog to record down my journey to master DRIVING! So thta when I look back, I can recall and laugh at myself.
AIM: I want to pass on first attempt and learn as fast as possible.
This will be the best birthday present I will ever get till then. haha!
So excited about it. Although today I only get to move the car a little. Move forward and backward. But I guess that's the basic that's needed for me to move the car. Learn how the basics of the car and driving, and how the car actually works.
Things learn today:
1. How to adjust the seat and mirror
2. Accelerator, Break and Clutch (ABC)
3. Gear
4. Handbrake
5. How to estimate distance
6. Speedometer, RPM, Temperature Gauge, Oil meter
Instructor, he is friendly and approachable I guess. He showed me his 2 students who passed on first attempt today! Cool! I wish I could be one. He also showed me that some students take 10plus lesson while others take 20plus close to 30 lessons. I had this in mind, I want to take as little lesson as possible. Yea~
FUNNY THINGS THAT HAPPEN
1. The instructor thinks I AM short!!!
First, he asks for my height. So I said 161cm. *To me I think it's average not short* But he said to me, "I think you are a little short so I think you may need a cushion." So okies I accept that. In addition to that, I still adjust the seat height to the max. "It's ready!" So I sat down. To his surprise, I was a little too tall. So he said I could remove the cushion. And he commented that my body was LONG. haha! Not only that he also asked me to adjust the seat height. Guess what? I adjusted back to the original, lowest height. Haha! I M TALL!
