6/10 15th driving lesson

Sigh.... time flies.... today is my 15th driving lesson. I have planned everything nicely. Before my practical test, I will have 21 driving lessons and 4 circuit. So I guess I am left with 6 more driving lessons to go and hopefully, I can get my driving licence.

My instructor didn't change his car today. He said he will be able to get his own car tomorrow so I believe I am able to drive his car on monday. Lets see erm... I started off by driving around. Stopped at a junction and coincidentally, there was an accident beside me. A motorcycle hit a car... that's what I saw. There were traffic police taking down their statement. So I was waiting for green light and my instructor quickly pulled his seat belt. So I realise that my instructor didn't put on his seat belt from the moment I drove off. Fortunately, the officer didn't see it. Phew... lucky lucky.
I roughly can feel how much to depress my gas to make it 2000rpm. But I still can't really feel my biting point. :(

I drove to a public car park to practice my vertical parking today. It was quite tough as I tried it without any kerb or wooden item to help me. My instructor told me to park in any lot based on the white marking. So I tried many times but I seem to turn too late. Judging from my car's position, I am not at the center of the lot. I am more to the right. So I tried to turn earlier than usual but the same thing happened. I was sad. But Mr Heng smiled at me... perhaps he was in a good mood today. :) It cheered me up. He taught me 2 things. When practising parking, the first turn is extremely important.
Practising more will allow me to have better judgment.

Hmm... after parking for several minutes, I still can't get the position that I wanted. I guess I still need to practice my parking using this toyota vios.
I did a stupid mistake today. Instead of scolding me, my instructor explained to me what did I not considered. He is the kindest instructor I have ever seen. :) Thank you Mr Heng.
