Driving classes - Session # 1.

I planned to take driving lessons from morning 6 30 till 7 am.

So first day, I was wondering, whether I will start in an empty stretch of road or a play ground.
But to my surprise, I started off in a main road, with full control except gear shifts. I did not expect that.

I have never driven a car before, but somehow drove it without getting scared. There were lots of trucks, buses coming in the opposite direction, I drove it all along with few mistakes.

The instructor told me the car did not have power steering, but I ended up driving with almost single hand. May be its a power steering, need to cross check.

I was very poor in braking, almost ignoring the brakes.

It was day #1, and my right leg was quite reluctant to let off the gas pedal and move to brakes. My left leg was itching to move to do the braking. But somehow I controlled myself from not using the left leg. There were 2 occasions when I almost hit the gas pedal thinking it to be brakes (my bad, need to improve), and 2 more occasions when I ended up getting zapped while making a turn. (I regret, hope not to do it again).

All in all I drove on wide roads and some very very narrow roads. I did not get excited nor scared. But I was low on confidence. Thats for sure. Need to check how do I drive tomorrow. Till then.. Cheers
