Enjoy DIY Today

I started driving on my 17th birthday, my mum actually booked me a two hour lesson on the day. I was grateful but was nervous and thought a two hour lesson was just so long! I did take to driving well, I really enjoyed it, I would stall a lot though but one day it just clicked and I got a lot better. I passed my Theory Test first time with full marks, and passed my driving test first time too. I did stall but he seemed to accept it was nerves and not the fact that I just couldn't drive.

I like the freedom I now have to travel where ever I can afford to go. I'd like to have a driving job one day but I don't feel my sense of direction is good enough and so my confidence lacks a bit because of that. My sister's ex boyfriend trained to be an HGV driver, he earns a lot now and was able to buy himself a nice car within a few months of his new job. If only I was confident enough to do this, I'd love to do it.

I've looked into being a driving instructor, as I enjoy driving and am quite good at it. I still follow all the rules and travel far and wide in my lovely car. I'm a girl and I think it would be good to add to the amount of female driving instructors that are out there. It definitely isn't the same as being an HGV driver but at least I'd still be on the road and earning nice money.

I would like to travel more so I might try driving in France in a couple of months, I am a bit nervous but I will have my boyfriend with me. He hasn't got a driving lisence though but he is great with directions. I have said to him he should really learn to drive and perhaps train to be an hgv driver too seeing as they can earn nicely.

I hope I do well if I train to be a driving instructor, my main reason for wanting to do it is to make people learn to drive safely, we get many drivers around here driving really badly. It would be nice to contribute and get some good drivers out there again.
