It all depends on your instructor, some sit you down and talk you trough everything, how it will pan out, what everything does in your car etc. Some get you driving straight away, but dont worry it will only be going trough 1st and 2nd gear and turning corners in a quiet resedential area. dont worry, relax, and it should be fine

yeah mine friend did a hill start on her first lesson she was well shocked. The instructor also locked the doors when they got onto the estate by my house incase anything got stolen. That didnt fill her full of confidence.

yeah like Bry says dont worry about it and then it will be easier as you will be more relaxed.

Hill start... I'm so pleased there aren't any hills round here.

How much did you pay for lessons? I'm paying £160 for a course of ten. Some schools round my area charge up to £20 an hour.

My first lesson went great. She said I had good control and I only made one big mistake, mounting the kerb when doing a left turn. Went though to fourth gear. Did left and right turns, most of my friends were only allowed to do lefty on their first lesson, did left turns off a few roundabout.

I'm really pleased and I can't wait for next week.

Passed my practical Driving Test today!! I only got one minor, because I didn't check my mirrors when I left a roundabout.
