My second driving lesson went better than the first, I felt a lot more confident and we took on more adventurous terrain. I've driven through Grantchester (little twisty roads), at 40 mph, turned in the road outside [livejournal.com profile] beckyc's house, been considerate of other road users, gone over speed humps (outside the Carlton Arms), and driven round Mitcham's Corner and the Elizabeth Way/Newmarket Road roundabout.

I get in a flap at junctions, make bad decisions about whether it is safe to go at roundabouts, I have little feeling for the car size and position when parking so it is completely shite, and I nearly hit a postbox. Apparently.

An odd thing is that after going for a nice 2-hour sunny drive, I feel like I've had an hour's walk - yet I've only walked 20 yards today.
