All I would say is that you need to feel really comfortable with your instructor. it's hard. My friends swapped eventually to mine but they were worried about offending them. At the end of the day they are professionals. The have people come and go all the time, they aren't going to get offended. The car sounds lovely though! My driving instructor let me make my own mistakes (within safe reason obviously) and never held the wheel. He just explained afterwards what I did wrong. I think as you explained to her that you have been driving a while and she still did that, then how long is it going to take for her to let you do your test?? Good luck though. I loved my driving lessons!!!!! :D XxxGemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02091407226188047122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8228562478011980177.post-42306565244416929732010-04-26T20:48:09.715+01:002010-04-26T20:48:09.715+01:00I know exactly how you feel!

I drove a fiat panda for 3 years which has a similar set up to the 500, in terms of the gear stick etc, but I drive a suzuki splash now. It's similar too, but it's a bit bigger so I struggled with it for a bit at first too. <br /><br />I say keep your lesson, but keep looking for someone else at the same time? <br /><br />There's a 35mph speed limit? does that mean you need to come over to the main land to learn how to drive on dual carriageways etc? jings xxRuth Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08535239104336624488noreply@blogger.com
