Mistake after mistake on my 5th lesson (10 hours of driving so far)
Today my instructor introduced me to roundabouts, which felt a bit overwhelming at first. It feels like so many things are happening at once while I’m driving. Thankfully, my instructor is very supportive and patient.
I still feel pretty bad about the mistakes I made today. I struggled with turning right and almost hit an oncoming vehicle. I also forgot to check my mirrors and signal when stopping on the left. I’m still quite slow when entering and driving around roundabouts, and I sometimes lose focus and drift too close to the curb.
My instructor also asked if there’s anyone in my family who could take me out for some extra practice, just so I can get more used to driving. Am I overthinking this, or was he trying to tell me that I need a lot more lessons or that I’m progressing more slowly than expected?
Are these normal mistakes after around 10 hours of lessons? I can’t help feeling disappointed in myself, but I really want to keep pushing through and improve.
