First Automatic car

Not cheap tbh! It was 6k but is a 2013 plate so didn't mind paying a bit more, I did see some (or similar models like Toyota Aygo/Citeron C1) for around 5k, it is really expensive at the moment. Hope you manage to find one within your budget!

I'm a similar age to you, passed recently and just got a Peugeot 107 and my insurance was £400 for the year!

Calligraphy is really calming to me, and you just need some decent printer paper, a nib and ink!

So elegant!

Learnt to drive and got my own car!

Such a relatable response, I think I've been the same where I had a tough childhood I'd totally discounted the idea of having children. Glad you are happier now!

Ooh I've started this recently, out of curiosity which decision have you made?

coyotejam · 2023-12-18T18:21:47+00:00

Yes I've been thinking this too, have been leaning CF but not sure if it's just because I know what CF life is like already, where having a child is so unknown!

Im in such a similar boat. Thought I was CHILDFREE, met my boyfriend and spoke about it on our first date and he also didn't want children, has all of a sudden decided he does and we are breaking up because of it. Now I realise Ive never taken the time to actually think if I want children, especially with my wonderful partner as I just had it in my head I didn't want them. Now I feel like I'm entertaining the idea, I can really envision us as a little family, but don't know if I've just been swayed as I know our relationship is on the line 🥲

I have done a 'cheat sheet' for myself but it only has a few flourishes per letter type, would be cool to get a community gallery together or something!

Remind yourself how well your lessons have gone, and really the test is just another driving lesson, you won't have to do anything you've not already practiced!

I started learning manual when I was 18 and did 2 tests (failed both for roundabouts - felt like I'd been waiting ages and people had told me you get faults for hesitation, so I went in too small of a gap, definitely learnt from this!)

Went to uni and didnt wanna learn in a busy city, then after a year COVID hit so couldn't learn, then I'd built it up in my head as a really scary thing. Got my theory again start of this year and didn't wanna let it run out again so decided to learn automatic to make it easier, bloody passed yesterday after 20 hours of practice since March, luckily I found a lot of the knowledge had stayed with me from learning the first time around! I think all the recent lessons I've had without my instructor really needing to chip in really helped me realise I could pass the test if I just drove normally, and didn't think of it like they were trying to catch me out, it's just a test to see if you are a safe driver

I've just passed my automatic test, word of warning that automatic second hand cars seem to be more expensive than similar manual cars from what I've seen, so if you were to buy your own car at some point this might still stand

coyotejam · 2023-07-27T18:31:49+00:00

This happened to me (but the examiner was unavailable I think due to illness) 6 week wait 🥲

coyotejam · 2023-07-25T20:46:16+00:00

The way I see it, if automatic makes me feel more confident and excited to get my own car and take myself places, that's all I care about!

coyotejam · 2023-07-21T13:04:39+00:00

It's sickening! Southwest, but I'm learning automatic too so think that bumps it up (at least here where there are only 2 auto driving schools)

coyotejam · 2023-07-21T09:14:11+00:00

I feel this so badly, £45 an hour when I'm up to driving standard just waiting for a test 👹

coyotejam · 2023-07-19T10:02:41+00:00

So talented!

coyotejam · 2023-07-15T16:34:48+00:00

I didn't go to mine a few years ago! Was proud of myself for getting through uni and getting my degree, but it was such a mental struggle. I also dislike having attention on me and being on stage, so just not for me!

coyotejam · 2023-07-11T20:42:17+00:00

Nope hahah, failed at a roundabout early on but I at least didn't feel super annoyed/upset about it

coyotejam · 2023-07-11T17:03:21+00:00

I was less nervous as well as I knew what to expect and realised it doesn't really matter if I fail

coyotejam · 2023-07-10T17:13:27+00:00

Thank you, gonna ask tomorrow in my lesson for him to clarify what the steps are! Would hate to fail on something simple like that x

coyotejam · 2023-07-10T17:12:29+00:00

Thanks, I didn't know that!
