Re: Learning to Drive!
the gear thing, i was taught to listen to the sound of the engine and look at my speed in different situations as for when to change. eg on the flat 1st>2nd is about 15mph, then about 22mph 2nd>3rd, then if i need to go into 4th do it at about 30mph. and so forth. he hold me fof for putting it in 5th when we were on a clear national limit road...

eh? does that mean get there 5 minutes later than you would, by 5 minutes (angle measurement on the speedo, difficult if its a digital readout) or what?

another pointer is make sure your seat is right, makes a hell of a difference if you have long legs a la dave. doing things is hard if your knees rub the steering wheel...
