First driving lesson

It's Josh's 18th today and his birthday present is all geared to him learning to drive. We got him his driving licence and learner driver insurance, L-plates and an internal mirror. This afternoon, I took him for his first lesson.

I had a certain car park in mind and it must have been the right place because there was a driving instructor there, doing a lesson too. Josh learned the cockpit drill, how to start the car, pull away safely and steer. We spent an hour, stopping and starting, driving in circles and figures of eight. He did really well!

I think he's probably quite tired now. I remember often having leg ache after my lessons. Tonight, he's going to someone else's birthday party. We're celebrating his next Saturday because half the family are away this weekend. Hope he has a fab time tonight though.
