Need a ride?

I've passed my UK driving test on the 10th December after going through 22 hours of driving lessons. YES!! You heard me right. I took 22 hours of lessons when I myself is an experienced driver with more than 12 years of experience! I only took 15 hours of lessons when I first learned to drive at 17 and whatsmore, I passed the first time.

I guess I should have started with the right driving school and made it real clear to the instructor that I know how to drive. All you need to do is teach me the UK way of driving so that I can pass the driving test. Nevertheless, the first driving instructor failed to understand my need. He taught me like I am a newbie on the road. After 12 hours of lessons with him, my hubby decided that we need to change to a more reputable driving school and ensure that the instructor understand my needs this time and not waste anymore time as well as money.

I am glad we did the switch and the instructor really helps a lot. Not only he taught me how to drive the UK way to pass the test, he also taught me some new things which I never realised as an experienced driver. Driving in the UK is slightly different especially the manouver techniques.

I am glad I passed the test the first time. I was really nervous and worried as I only have one chance to pass. Otherwise, I would have to wait quite a long time before I can retake the test as the waiting list to take the test is quite a long wait. I've waited for 2.5 months actually.

More importantly is no more walking in the cold to pick Matt up from nursery. November and December's weather was horrendous that it was freezing cold. I was having a teribble cold for an entire month and the weather was not helping much for speedy recovery. I was also worried that Matt will be cold too.

Right..anyone needs a ride?
