Second driving lesson

Had my second driving lesson yesterday which I felt went rather well. Ok.. so I prepare my seat (push it back in my case) adjust the angle of the back of the seat to get the perfect arm position vis a vis holding onto the steering wheel (elbows slightly bent). Set my head rest to the middle of my head in case of a crash. Then set the mirrors.. for left and right should be able to see 10% of the car and 90% external view.

I need to get the P O M (Preparation - Observation - Manoeuvre) and S M S (Mirror - Signal - Manoeuvre) driving plans sorted in my head for my next lesson on the Nov 9th. Had great fun on the lesson.. I've started doing right turns.. mini rounder-bouts and have reversed for the first time.. fantastic :-). I needed to carry revising for my driving theory test on the 10th Nov. I hope to pass but haven't done much on the hazard awareness component. It's all be good experience anyway and I'll pass next time if not this.
