Horses must be easier

I had my first driving lesson today! Not an "official" driving lesson, just with my father on the practice grounds. The car is still undamaged, success! My heart rate, however, took a while to settle. Starting was difficult enough, and it was a small training ground, so there wasn't much time to get used to get used to driving before the first bends. Nobody told me how complicated the stupid clutch is :( And that there would be so many motorcycles around. Twenty minutes driving was more than enough.
In a few weeks I should be able to (more or less) comfortably drive a car. Wow.

I finished all the theory classes, finally. Fortunately they were a bit less boring than LB said they were. It's very strange to constantly hear "for the theory exam you have to say x, but in real life you have to do y" - which morons designed the theoretical test? Experts at the ministry. That explains it.

As it's now tomorrow, how did it go?

It was okay. I'm getting more comfortable steering, but starting and stopping is still hard. And you have to do that all the time! My nerves lasted twice as long this time, at least that's something? ;) I'm very glad I get to practice a bit before the official driving lessons.
