8th Driving Lesson

Driving instructor texted the other day to change lesson from 6:30 am to 10am. A better time for me. I haven't been waking up till gone 9 :) .

My problem is that i do not think far in advance. I also find it all a bit thingy when you have to do multiple things at once. When i'm turning and need to change gear. On a roundabout i need to indicate to come off whilst trying to steer around.

Hopefully that will improve as i learn. Booked in for next Friday after work and the following Wednesday after work.

He said that time because I was only practising manoeuvres . So there wouldn't be anyone out and about

That's a very early start! I'm usually just getting out of bed. But if it suits you. You are doing well. It's a lot to take on board learning to drive and with lupus too. Keep up the good work. Sometimes a long driving lesson is a good thing, because you settle into it and your confidence grows. Good luck! x

I can get that. I learnt in Pembrokeshire so the roads are quieter too - especially 25 years ago! And I didn't have lupus then. Oh my goodness, can't believe that I have been driving that long. It's so worth you doing it though. xx

I was worried about my arthritis and learning to drive . So far I haven't had any problems with the joints affecting it . I think that's why the hour is best . I think 2 hours would be to long sitting down without being able to change position
