driving

been learning how to drive a manual car. quite exciting except for the many times when Suds yells at me to stop/ brake (there is a huge difference) and when i almost always scratch the car at its nose because i can't see and tell how long the car is.

fortunately for me, no mishaps. The scared face of Suds is scary enough though.

i passed my theory test with a score of 29/30 a long time ago, and now i am able to start the car (wear seat belt, full clutch, turn ignition, put to gear 1, hand brakes off, let go clutch slooowly+accelerate) and also to reverse, and to change from gear 1 to 2 (full clutch+accelerate, change gear 1 to 2 wo accelerating, let go of clutch+accelerate).

yet to master how to follow close to the kerb yet, and to drive at fast enough speeds to react.

heh i feel kinda mature learning how to drive now...
