Another driving lesson

I had another driving lesson yesterday.

It was a different instructor this time, Frank, and a different truck. This one didn't have the little switch on the side of the gear stick like the other trucks I've driven. This means it didn't have the intermediate gears. In other words, only eight forward gears and not sixteen.

I'm still crunching the gears occasionally, but at least I'm not coasting to a stop at roundabouts with the thing in neutral, which is why I failed the test last time.

Anyway, the test is this Thursday and it looks like I'll be tested by Col again. I'm glad about that as I know what to expect. One less thing to worry about. I must admit, I'm a lot more confident this time around.
