Guest guest Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Good luck taking the test, Rach! Yes, never give up! (I’m going to the driving school tomorrow for staying one of two weeks in that town, trying to take my driving licence as well. No computor to read your mail after tomorrow) I do understand what you mean: "-cars coming right at you (seeming to) " I feel the same: When a car is coming I have to look only at the verge and pray they do have space enough to pass me without hitting me. (First I closed my eyes in fear, but that wasn’t allowed to do obviously) *hahaha* May you have fair wind and following seas.Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Thank U, Inger! I will try and try until I make it... May you have fair wind and following seas.Helen Re: driving licence Good luck and Helen! The great thing about driving is that it does get easier and easier. I was really nervous and overwhelmed too, but now it's just automated action that I don't even have to think about.
