I'm learning to drive
in Switzerland. I thought it would be a good idea to learn now because I have
plenty of free time and am earning a little money to pay for lessons.
However, there are a
lot of rules to remember. When you see a road on the right and there are no
white lines on the ground, the cars to your right have priority and you have to
stop for them. In practice, lots of people forget this and cars wait for each
other or beep if both try to go at the same time!
When you drive round a
roundabout, you should check all your mirrors. To remember how to do this, I
often count them aloud - one, two, three - then one more look at your blind
spot when you're in the roundabout.
Driving still seems
scary to me so I drive quite slowly. I also don't know the countryside roads
very well and don't know what's coming up round the corner or over the next hill.
I drive slowly so I feel safe, but my driving instructor tells me to speed up
or cars will bump into me from behind. So, driving slowly is as dangerous as
driving fast!
I'm not a very
practical person so learning to drive has been a challenge. Hopefully I will
pass the test!
