Moving up a gear
The lack of collisions, maiming and serious trauma is starting to worry me. I haven't so much as clipped a wing mirror so far, even with the appearance of partially clothed builders and a skip.Starting to get the hang of the whole changing gear lark, although up seems to be easier than down. Forgot to signal a couple of times and got told off for speeding once. I hadn't even looked at the speedo so far, so it came as a surprise. Stopping is still a bit of an issue though – I'm not confident that I'd have been able to brake in time if a child had wandered out or a deranged old woman had decided to reverse her HGV at me. Both were unlikely, admittedly, but these things can't be ruled out entirely. It must be for eventualities like those that dual control was invented.
Today's stall count: 4 (all at junctions, once involving a pensioner)
