Yes, I've finally gathered the courage. Booked my theory test.
If you are wondering the meaning behind the two year wait, let me inform you. August 2015 was when I first started driving lessons. I was so excited plus slightly nervous to start this new challenge. However what I didn't realise was how wrong I was to use that particular driving school. I only did three hours with this particular school, and I hated it not going to lie; I felt uncomfortable being in the car with him, I didn't have confidence behind the wheel, plus he was so unreliable and kept cancelling on me at the last minute. So I decided to stop with that school and continue to look for another, I was still optimistic about driving however. A few weeks went by and I had finally found a better driving school (or what I thoughts better, yes you know what's coming). I had about 15-20 hours with this school and throughout most of the lessons it was going smoothly. However, it wasn't until the start of November I would say, that I started to not enjoy it as much. I became unwell on one of the lessons I had booked, and I could only let the woman know on the day because I hadn't known I couldn't make it until I zomited everywhere during the early hours of the morning. This didn't bow well with the instructor and she insisted I were to pay for the lesson, however I refused to as I was unaware I would be ill (she however couldn't understand). May I add on several occasions she cancelled half an hour before my lesson started, or even turning up an hour early and saying that I needed to drop previous students off home. The next lesson came and I was dreading it. She made me very uncomfortable, by constantly phoning the head office and telling them I hadn't paid whilst asking me to speak to my mum (who was at work at the time). She and the head office became quite aggressive towards myself and my mum, so we refused not to pay for the lesson further whilst saying we weren't going to continue with anymore lessons. After that they no longer contacted us, so I was longer driving. These two experiences really made me feel like I couldn't trust driving instructors again. I had no confidence to get back in the driving seat again. Plus during this time I was doing A levels so I wanted to focus more on my studies. Nearly two years later I now feel I have enough confidence to get back behind the wheel, which has made me just book another lesson today with a different school- I have had a few friends who have had good experiences with the school as well as passing tests. As well as that I have booked my theory test for the end of September!!! If you know me, you'll that I'm not worried about the driving test itself, more the theory test for some reason so this is big deal for me! My first lesson is in a few weeks and for once I'm actually excited to start driving again!! Fingers crossed everything will go smoothly this time around- third time lucky aye! I'm going to keep updates on here of how my driving journey is going so keep looking back for more posts!!!
