I passed! Jeez, what a journey(😆) that was! This whole process has taken over 2 years with 4 instructors! I wanted it so bad and yet was tempted to give up on so many occasions. I didn’t, go me! I think back to the instructors I did have and think how great it would have been to have had this one from the beginning but these things happen. I’m just glad I passed with him and not the instructor who told me I drive the way I do because I’m a woman or because I’m a mum 😡
So what now? Well, a car would be helpful. That’s a minefield in itself but I don’t want to leave it too long, I need to get behind the wheel! I do work for a car insurance company however which could be a bonus!
When I think about what this means to me and my family, it’s massive! For me and my husband’s entire relationship so far we have relied on public transport and friends and family to get us to where we need to go. Not any more! From being able to do a big shop, to driving our daughter to matches, to trips away, it’s as if a whole new world has opened up to us! Isn’t that amazing?
What will I do first? Well, get the car! Then I think it will need to be a few little trips around my local area. Although I could drive you to Burgess Hill no problem! My daughter is at a residential this weekend, it’s probably a bit too much to think that I will have a car and be able to pick her up in that time!
My daughter of course has already told me that I can drive her everywhere she wants to go, and actually I would love to! And her friends! We have a lot of favours to return and I can’t wait for that. We really have been so lucky to have had friends and family to have picked us up and drop us off, now it’s payback time. Happy driving everyone!
