SupraSteve Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Good for you Katy! Of course you're a woman and so will never really master the art of driving, but thumbs up for trying No seriously hon, keep at it - don't let the occasional (yet inevitble) 'bad' lesson put you off. As for reversing, just try to understand what is going on - once you 'get' what affects what it's a whole lot easier to apply the knowledge to developing the skill, which will in turn mean you can reverse in any scenario. Instructors tend to teach you to look through a particular part of a particular window - I never understood what they were on about so ask LOADS of questions so you fully understand Maybe even play about with a computer/console game or radio controlled car? Viewing how vehicle reverse - from above - can be very useful in getting the above understanding. - I remeber a few years ago there was an online 'flash' game that got the player to reverse vehicles into various spots, have a google for simething similar maybe? Keep it up! (but yeah, also please tell me if you pass so I'm not on the roads at the same time as you ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheff_minx Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 To Reverse a Car: Select the reverse gear.... Sorry Katy but someone was going to say it Seriously though, well done for learning to drive - I was waaaaay to scared to even pick up the phone and enquire about lessons and would never have learned to drive if it weren't for my boyfriend booking my first few lessons for me as a 19th birthday present. Being able to drive will increase your confidence immensely Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
