This is the second go after being ripped off by another school, basically... lets just say that Trading Standards and the Driving Standards Agency are to be involved
Instructor said in the morning after a little bit of the yard practicing that he couldn't understand how they (old school) could say what they did (i.e. failure!)
It really was very cold, and to make it worse was very blustery indeed
I felt like an old creaky wreck when I got off. But he was very happy with how I went on, and said I did really well! (I bet he says that to everyone 
) Had a horrid moment on a roundabout, with a massive lorry on my left, I was turning right, and as I pulled away, my visor steamed up and the sun was totally in my eyes making a double blinder
The low sun was in fact one of the worst bits, as it is totally blinding sometimes. To such a degree I was slowing down and thinking "Oh Gawd, please, nothing come out of that side road"... as I could literally see nothing for a few seconds. Not nice.
And yes, there were the usual fools and idiots doing stupid things in their cars around me.. and the odd pedestrian making a run for it. As if I'm not obviously a very learner rider, as if I'm not obviously under instruction! When we first set off on the roads, I was wanting a big orange flashing light on my head with a massive sign saying "Keep well back... leave me alone!" But by the end of it felt more relaxed about it all. Favourite thing was using the footbrake while using the throttle through left or right turns in second *lol* Made it feel very relaxed, smooth and under control, with a great tidy turn!
All in all, really pleased to be able to wear my 'L's. And with pride, I can tell you. Its taken a while, and been a bit of a journey to get here. And not just a couple of weeks...
