Because loads of people told me oh when ypu get your car ill take you out but when it comes down to it they don't so sick of asking people and I thought having the car would help instead of always the instructors
What particularly are you having trouble with?Because loads of people told me oh when ypu get your car ill take you out but when it comes down to it they don't so sick of asking people and I thought having the car would help instead of always the instructors
Yes maybe ne t week ill ask just work on things I need to not driving around in circles
It's just really getting me because it's not clicking
I’m also doing automatic, I have done 10 of my EDT (assume you’re in Ireland by your name) and bought a car a few weeks ago. I’m fortunate enough with my boyfriend that I do all the driving at the weekends, but we can’t really go out after work as he works so late. But a week after buying the car I was driving 2 hour drives across counties and I’m driving from Waterford to Donegal this weekend and I’m not nervous one bit. Once you are getting out there in your own comfort you’ll be absolutely fine. I have had the car just over a month now and haven’t had a lesson since just after I bought it as they’re too busy but I think I’m flying it whereas during the lessons I was constantly nervous and making silly mistakes, I think it’s coz I’m quite shy with new people.Because loads of people told me oh when ypu get your car ill take you out but when it comes down to it they don't so sick of asking people and I thought having the car would help instead of always the instructors

Once you manage to get out you’ll progress so much quicker - I started learning to drive in March and I have to wait until August to book my test (6 month rule) but if I didn’t I’d probably be booking it soon. Best of luck
In my head kinda thought the same once I have the car ill get the hang of but not turning out that waySo what specifically are you struggling with? If it’s an automatic it’s basically a go cart and noThat's brilliant well done
What is the issue you’re having? There’s an Irish guy who does YouTube videos for common errors. I had wile trouble with my steering because I used to do these weird little shifts with my hands rather than doing it smooth. And my instructor never taught me to park so I watched the YouTube videos for that too. He’s honestly really good. The other thing I was bad with was my spacial awareness but that just comes over time. I still panic that I’m going to be flattened by a massive tractor or somethingThat's brilliant well done
Why does everything think ohh your driving a automatic its easy
…… because compared to learning in a manual, it is.
I recommend this guys videos before, they are very helpful. Alot of the time its getting the sequence of maneuvers and observations right and once they become 2nd nature you feel more confident. It's hard when you don't have anybody to practice with but keep going. Get comfortable in your car. Sit in it, practice turning it on and off, reversing on a drive etc.Get to know your secondary controls and under the bonnet so that you know it well. Those things will help too.
I'm not being rude but people keep saying oh it's automatic it's easy and it's not helping been told that if it was easy I wouldn't be asking for advice
Thanks so much ill have a look at that
So why don’t you tell us what you are having trouble with? See if we can offer a bit of help?
Hi , I passed in an automatic
What kind of car/cars are you learning in ? I felt I kept messing up in my instructors car with the smallest of things but really progressed in my own car. XWhat is it you’re struggling with? If you let us know then maybe we can help you
Maybe someone on this thread has had the same problems xYeah I’ve already asked that question and it’s being ignored soWhat is it you’re struggling with? If you let us know then maybe we can help you
I'm not ignoring the questionYeah I’ve already asked that question and it’s being ignored so
In what context? Are you not sure where you should be looking/what to look for etc? If you can give us a bit more information this would be easier!!!!I'm not ignoring the question
So finding the hole observation thing the hardest I think if I got the hang of that would hopfully get alot easyer
Sorry don't no what best way to explain it kinda bit of both and other thing roundabouts scare me so much
How many hours of lessons have you had so
That's the thing I'm not new started my lessons but with covid my lessons were all spread out over nearly 2 years I got a car nearly two months but only getting 1 lessons for a hour each week as I don't have anyone to go and practice with and think that's half the problem I'm not getting enough practice I have my full 12 lessons done so can book my test but ovbs not ready
