Yikes! We had a much better session today so I don’t feel so despondent about passing, but there is still some panic when occasionally I loose control of the clutch in the middle of town. But worst of all is the dreaded U-turn. On the few occasions that I managed it, it felt so easy but more often than not I messed it up big time, just by lack of confidence and panic, once slamming my crotch into the petrol tank – ouch. This time tomorrow I will either be euphoric and hugely surprised to pass or feeling heavy and annoyed to have to maintain the tension longer to re-take the test.

I must have poise, teh poise of a Zen swordsman.
