Hi everyone , the sun is shining but again no heat . I cant believe it mabye By Friday my car might be sitting in my driveway , my brother is going with me to get the car as he is my back up driver . once it on my driveway it will be ready for driving lessons. Although I dont fancy trying out in this weather . Another thing that worries me is . as I have to use my own car ( as it will have the adaptions) the instructor wont be able to stop me from crashing as he wont have dual controls , will he be able to fit thease are they easey to fit.

I picked this instuctor as she as asked me about the dla Quest from go and her and husband are very kind , I dont want to upset them by saying I am going to find another instructor with a car that has dual controls and the adaption I need .

    Why are you assuming you will crash? I don't think that that is a given when learning! I suspect you will be fine Mike, and as adaptions are particular and specialised I think it best to use your car. Any instructor worth their salt will not allow you to get yourself into a dangerous position in the first place. You seem to get on well with the people you know, put your trust in them, I am sure they will not let you down. I wish you well - I hope Mike Jnr is continuing to improve. DD

    Hi Mike

    I think you should talk to the instructor about this. If she has taught people with DLA cars before I expect she has come accross this issue herself.....

    My ex-husband had all his lessons in his own car and it was best as he was ocnfidant in it. I had mine in a vauxhall and drove a mini so it was odd for me then to drive a diffrent car.

    I reckon the instructor will be abel to put you mind at rest and anyway - You could be a brilliant driver - I think you might be you have more incentive than most to drive :)

    I have faith in you!

    Love
