First driving lesson
Sean just took me for a spin in his noisy but otherwise swanky car. It started well - I couldn't get the car to start up because I had flooded the engine... but Sean wasn't scared so we continued on and when I remembered how to start the engine properly we did a little drive around on the small streets around South Granville. Took me ten minutes to get used to the car and after that it was ok. Sean has promised me couple of more "lessons" before the test, preferably daylight, so I can get used to the car.
What worries me most are the slightly different rules they have here, with especially speed limits. I for example to the speed limit on the bridge to mean a "recommendation" like the square speed limit signs are in Finland - meaning I would have failed a test, there and then. I need to get back to my "Road Sense" book and go over the rules one more time.
