He considers himself a patient person but even he was screaming and yelling during lessons and it got to the point where I decided that I wasn’t going to take any more lessons with him. Almost 10 years later (!!), I’ve realised that my Ls are about to expire and that I should really book in a few lessons with an instructor so I can get my test done before my Ls expire. The good thing about being over 25 is that at least I don’t have to clock up 120 hours though given my lack of driving skills, racking up 120 hours is probably in my (and other motorists’) best interests!!

I will be a wreck!!!!

But maybe because I did the Log Book system, it was incorporated into that. Hmm. My parents were great at forcing my to drive and practice, I would’ve taken years to do it if they hadn’t made me 😛 Then again, you simply have to drive in Canberra if you want to do anything really!

My son learned to drive in Mexico, which had its own challenges. Now he is in Los Angeles, CA, and I can’t even THINK aout that! Horrors! The freeways…gasp.

Nice puttanesca recipe.

Funny now, but not so funny back then…I think her knuckles were white at the end of each drive from holding onto the door so tightly!

For what it’s worth, Big Boy is now a fabulous driver, but it took all of the 120 hours of practice to get it right. I think the professional instructor is a good idea – especially since one hour with a professional counts as three in the log book. Sadly you can only claim one of those three as a night hour though, if the lesson is at night. The night hours are the killer, and brutal to clock up during daylight savings time. For what it’s worth, I know someone with twins, so they have to spend 240 hours in the car before their kids can get their licences!!! 🙂

It’s a great idea. When I came to the US, I didn’t know how to drive and I had to hire a professional for teaching me to drive. I failed the driving test once (was nervous and drove on a wrong side of road as it’s opposite in Japan) but now I’m a happy driver. Good luck to Arabella! Hmmm these pasta sauce sounds wonderful – I love capers but never put in the pasta. I’ll try this for one of our lunches soon!

btw i’ve always wondered why puttanesca sounded a little dirty, and now I know why.

I’m loving the script of your conversation with your daughter… that’s much how it went with me and my mum when I was learning to drive! Good call on bringing in a pro!
