Hadnt been able to drive for a week or two, but in that time I discovered a channel. And he explains things in a perfect way for me. Diagrams and a drivers cam are perfect for helping me out. I couldnt understand what I was being told half the time when I was actually driving. So when I went driving today, I felt like I was doing everything with way more confidence and skill than I had been. Im sure most people here dont need to learn, so they dont care much, but I wanted to say something about him.

Driving again today. I was put on the highway, but a relatively inactive one, so my mistakes (which were mostly allowing myself to dip under the speed limit in the slow lane) werent too scary. Honestly I never went that fast, so I wasnt used to maintaining that speed. The one teaching me picked well, it was a mostly straight road, a few stoplights, and the road wasnt busy.

Then I finally got to park, my 90 degrees were fine, but I never watched the video on 45 degree, so they were always off. Amazing how preparation helps.

I'm super curious now...

What parts of driving were you having problems understanding?

Most of it, probably. I think staying in my lane (especially when turning) and parking were the things that most frustrated the one teaching me with my inability to be perfect. I needed them put in a more concrete way in order to really understand how I was supposed to move my hands.

Even though Ive been more confident recently, I was still terrified. But it worked out fine and helped me learn skills I didnt have.

I feel like I was a beginner a bit longer than the one teaching me wouldve liked, but I found my way of getting better, so I guess its fine.

Heel and toe shifting around the hairpin on the downhill is so hard.
