 Was hilarious. I kept panicking and getting the pedals mixed up. At one point I had to take over a man in a lorry and The car was not moving but the engine kept going vrrrrrrooooom vrrrooooooom. It was well scary. My instructor was sat there giggling and so was the man in the lorry. Oh well I'm sure I will get the hang of it soon. Apart from that he said I was quite good. I seen my friend and that was embarrassing. The kids of the TEF are growing up  Whos to pass first then people? Me or R4E ? :twisted: |

Can't remember mixing the pedals up. Most common mistakes for me when i first started were under/over revving and glancing down at the gearstick when changing gear, think those are all reasonably common when you first learn to drive.

But the clutch is on the left so you can use the brake or accelerator with your right foot at the same time. All makes sense to me.
Also if you get mixed up think ABC backwards. Clutch, Brake, Accelerator. I know a few people that remembered this way.

Ah thanks si. Thats a good way of remembering it. I was quite nervous, so my mind kept going blank and I kept forgetting. I'll start thinking of the song 'ABC easy as 123' |
