Class C - Day 2

Another great day. Sampled the delights of Steeton, Keighly and Skipton. Much narrower roads, streets and far too many mini rounabouts !!! Driving the vehicle has become much more natural today. Not thinking about the gearbox anymore; just doing it ! Now trying to work on the smoothness of the drive and more importantnly get all the mirror checks in. Gary (instructor) tells us you can have 15 minors but only 3 in each area. So 4th mirror check missed and away it goes ! Mirrors before pulling away, mirrors before accellerating, mirrors before decelerating, mirrors before stopping. Its feasible that in stop/start traffic you could throw it all away in the space of about 50 yards ! Eek !



Junctions and roundabouts I'm now much happier with, but mini roundabouts in busy traffic I'm being a little hesitant. Hopefully sort that over the next 2 days.
