The first driving lesson today was spent with a newbie instructor. How did i know? His instructor was supervising him. Haha!!
Honestly, i was a little peeved initially. I mean, HELLO? I’m paying $59.92 for each session!! Shouldn’t i be getting someone more experienced?? But after a while, i begin to realise something quite cool!
Besides the fact that it was almost the blind leading the blind, it was a freshie leading another freshie…how exciting yes??
Plus, it’s not that bad…all the stuff/instructions should be fresh in his head. And he was making an effort to make the lesson entertaining, from cracking lame jokes to narrating his driving experience in hope of ‘inspiring(?)’ me. And perhaps, at the same time, butter his instructor :)
So, after lesson #1, melisa loh has learnt:
a) Freshie leading freshie ain’t that bad after all
b) Driving = risking melisa loh’s life…i entered the lane with on-coming traffic and made my heart skip many many beats
c) I dislike being horn-ed at. Someone did it today in the circuit ’Be nice people! i’m new!! And the fact that you’re still in the circuit says a lot about you as well!!’
d) Driving at a speed of 20km/hr is strangely comforting…altho it must be frustrating for the fellas behind. But then again, i’m in front! So just ‘guai-guai’ stay behind and wait patiently.
In conclusion, melisa loh should attend more lessons. I think practise would do me much good.
