SSDC

Been going to the driving center a lot recently, and will be seeing the place a lot more in the coming weeks. On Friday I took and passed my final theory test, on Saturday I went for my class 2A circuit revision lesson, on Sunday I took and passed my final assessment for class 2A, and on Monday I went for my first class 3 lesson.

Driving a car is almost the complete opposite of riding a motorbike.

Throttle: Bike - Right hand, Car – Right foot.

Brake: Bike – Right hand, Car – Right foot.

Clutch: Bike – Left Hand, Car – Left Foot.

Gearshift: Bike – Left Foot, Car – Left Hand.

So as can be imagined, I was a bit lost the first time I was given the chance to drive. Managed to get the hang of moving off, braking and basic cornering after a couple of tries, and spent the rest of the lesson practicing. Rather looking forward to my next lesson.

As I got home I found the entrance to the bike lots near my flat semi obstructed by this stupid bike again. The owner of the bike insists on parking his bike at the outside most lot, presumably because it is the easiest to park in and move out off. However, as his bike is very long, it ends up obstructing ALL the other bikes inside.

My bike is rather long too, and would obstruct the way if I park it in the normal way, so I will make the effort to park my bike in reverse so the rear of my bike overhangs the pavement behind instead of jutting out in the exit lane.

The next time I see his bike parked like this, I will personally park it OUTSIDE the lot, so that he will get a summon for improper parking. The parking attendants in my area are especially vigilant, and will no doubt be thankful for a chance to meet their targets.
