Wedstestlad again -- reading this I must have a good instructor. He always encourages me to not stop for any longer than is absolutely necessary and if it's a wide junction to take it straight without stopping. The thing that'll get me is mirrors (I frequently forget to check the rearview when turning) or steering (I don't steer fast enough sometimes) but both of those are easily correctable minors, so I'm optimistic, but not too optimistic. |

My instructor used to smoke weed in the car while I drove. Sometimes we shared it, and he sometimes (most of the time) wouldn't take my money. I developed horrific driving habits, but I still passed at my first go. It is all arbitrary. |

Now I've stopped trying to drive it like the car/s I learned in, it has become much easier. I rarely stall it (though I did forget it was in gear with the handbrake on in the petrol station). Driving around roads I know is also nice. What us it with van drivers getting an inch behind you and then getting impatient when you are extra careful in moving off from a hill so you don't fucking hit them? Or staying an inch behind you when you're doing the speed limit? I'd speed up if I could but I have the tracker box on and I'd like to not pay out of my arse for insurance (more than I already am). I've half a mind to brake check them. |

It's also directly opposite Cambridge's only porno shop, and handy for the (superb) Portland arms, and massive, shite, burned-out Tivoli. Add all of those attractions to the constant traffic and risk of death-by-bus, and you can see why they're such a bargain, by Cambridge standards. |
