I didn't learn to drive when I was 17 years old. I was busy studying for my A levels. All my friends learned how to drive and I was the odd one out. When I was 30 years old my sister Louise who was aged 20 said she had rung the DSA and they said that she could get a provisional driving license. She looked up automatic driving schools in the telephone directory. She found the details of an automatic driving school in the yellow pages. She rang up the driving instructor and he said " Hello Car Whizz Automatic Driving School. How can I help you?" Louise said "I want to leave to drive but I am terrified of taking the practical driving test". John the driving instructor said "Driving in an automatic driving school is right for a nervous driver". Louise said "I got my provisional license from the DSA last week but now I feel scared as I know the practical test is tough". John suggested " How about a driving lesson on Tuesday of next week?" Louise thought about that. "Yes". she breathed quietly. "Would 10.30 be a fine time to begin? "Alright".

I was so annoyed that my sister Louise was going to learn to drive. Oh, how I has wished that I had learned to drive when I was younger. I didn't know if I could have passed the practical test because my friend Sophie stalled the car on the roundabout in Hen Bay. I would never choose to drive a manual car. I thought Louise is right learning in an automatic car is the right choice for me.

Louise took forty lessons before she took her driving practice test. She was nervous on her practical test. The examinor noted she was from nervous and he said "Start the car when you are ready". Louise took a sensible drive around town. Backing around the corner was much better than she had ever mastered before. Amazingly forty five minutes later the examiner said "You have passed". Louise was over the moon. She knew she had pleased the dsa and succeeded in her practical test. I won't be as frightened now about taking my driving practice test. I know by this time next year I will have passed my driving practice test. Doing it late in my life is better than never.
