driving lessons

yesterday, i enrolled and started a 12 days session on driving lessons. well, here in qatar, it is required to get a driving test before they issue a driver's license. good thing for us pinoys, if you have a valid professional driver's license, you will have the option of taking the exam immediately. but many say, the chances of passing the exam if you take it outright would be slim. might as well take the short course and practice the exam itself before taking it.

so, yesterday was my first day and as i expected, it was kind of different. the instructor is teaching me something i don't normally do when i'm driving in my home country. in school, i started to practice what they call inclined L-parking. well, one thing i noticed different was the way they want you to turn the wheel in getting in and out of the L-parking. they will have you stop the car and then turn your wheel full then after let you drive again.

that is what i did the whole session. just get in the L-park and out. then go around a bit and back to the L-park. the instructor may have noticed that i knew how to drive because after a few L-park, he just sat there and slept and never said a word about my driving.

tomorrow, i'll be again in school for an hour and i hope lesson will be different. i just hope that this coming week they will have me take the exam even if i hadn't finished the course yet. i was told that my car is already in our office in doha and will be issued to me as soon as i had my license. i sure miss driving again....
