Yesterday evening I did my third Pass Plus module, it was Night Driving. I have already done Town Driving and Dual Carriageways, although yesterday's session contained many dual carriageways, some with the national speed limit! I haven't gone that fast in a while, but it felt good! You have to get used to speeding up, otherwise you become a total wimp on the roads. I've seen it happen to people. Even my mum won't learn to drive now because she is afraid of driving on the road with other cars, which incidentally is pretty much what driving is all about, lol!
I was lucky to be able to just go back to my instructor who I passed my test with. I say that because I have had many instructors. My first one, Elaine from AMC, was amazing. She hadn't yet passed her instructor test, but in my opinion is better than some qualified instructors! It's also really hard to find a good instructor when you only want a female, it really makes your search even harder. After a few more instructors I finally found Naz, of Ladies Driving School. She is so friendly, I feel like I'm with a friend in the car, best atmosphere to have really. I passed my test with her, eventually (it took me four attempts!) but she was always very supportive. Never stay with an instructor if you feel uncomfortable, it will become unbearable pretty quickly! One of my instructors, who shall remain nameless, actually shouted at me. I was quite new back then, and I feel she should have had been more patient. You are really in the wrong job if you can't stand a learner driver making mistakes!
