I could not believe it. I only passed my driving test last week and I have already had to drive in snow.

I was on the way back from work just passing a place called Wittering on the A1, when it started to snow. When I got out of Stamford on the A6121, I could not see a thing. When I got onto the B1176, just coming out of Ryhall, it got ever wrone, I could not see 5 metres in front of me. Going up hills, was not nice at all. The wheels on the car started to speen. I was just so happy to get back home all in one bit and better still so was the car too. I don’t think Mark would have been too happy if I had crashed his car.

Thursday – 22nd January 2004

I drove the car for the first time myself, with no one else in it :). I drove from my house in Little Bytham to Stamford and back. So just over 12 miles in total. It was really a great feeling driving there all by myself, but not having someone else in the car is going to take me a while to get use to. I go the whole way into Stamford with out driving off the road or hitting someone which is always a good start. It was all going well till I got to Morrisons. Then I had to park the cark!!!! Ahhh which is something, I think is going to take me a while to get good at! I parked it in the end, so that’s the main thing :).

I passed my driving test!!

I passed my driving test today! I was sure that I had failed it, before I even got out of the test centre car park. Because I was asked to do a reverse park. The first that I missed the car parking space big time. So I did it again, even the second time, I am sure that I was not in it. But I much have been, or she would have said something at the end of the test.

Then not long after leaving the centre, when I got to the first set of traffic lights, what did I do but still the car. At this point I was ready to give up!! I was more then sure that I had already failed it.

Then I had to do a reverse around a corner. Which yes you guessed it, I could not even do that one right. The first time I did it, I hit the kerb. But lucky when I did it again, I got it right.

But lucky my normal driving was not 2 bad. In total I got 10 driving faults. But I passed it, so that’s the main thing.
