I have let this one lapse slightly.. (what... just this one! I hear you cry/whimper?) but today I think I have more than made up for it. I have driven 173 miles today. I took in a fake motorway, a real motorway, several big roundabouts and have also done several reversing manoeuvres. I parked in a multi-storey car park (well, it had two levels and I went on the top deck) and drove in extreme weather (fog/rain/very poor visibility). I overtook lorries on the real motorway and navigated around an unknown town.
I normally print off Google Maps and follow the instructions religiously and I think this is what stresses me out- counting roundabouts and the like. Yesterday, I printed off the map but made a note of the major roads and places I needed to get to and this worked so much better.
I have a headache now from concentrating but I feel super. I worked hard at not stressing about this journey and made myself look forward to it and be positive about it. And I did enjoy it. Turns out I do actually like driving.
The full title of number 16 is 'be a more confident driver (reverse on drive/drive on motorway in UK). Although I did not reverse on drive I did reverse into two parking spaces. I am taking that as a win and a big ✔against number 16
Go me.
