...but having trouble stopping
Back down to earth in the evening with some home practice. Desperate for food, I persuaded my mother to let me drive her to the supermarket in the family car. Getting there wasn't too much of a problem for me, if not for her, but parking up was rather more difficult. I hadn't done parking, yet – only stopping gradually at the side of the road.Being that the car park was mostly empty of cars and blissfully devoid of chavs throwing trolleys about, the procedure was relatively risk-free for all concerned. It was not, however, error free. On the first attempt I performed the unlikely feat of parking across two – possibly three – large spaces and part of the road. On the second I managed to contain the car within one space, although at a fairly inappropriate angle. I left it at that and went to buy cookies. I might be able to dodge parked cars, drive at 70 and overtake lorries, but I've got a long way to go yet.
