Relax!

I started my first driving course since April, and I had the 1st lesson on the road in earlier May, I remember I was too panic when I first got into the instructor's car. Today it was the 3rd time I had my driving lesson with the instructor, with almost 5 hours practise with Man and my friend, Yun in Bessborough area( so called sub-division, residential area),  I found that I wasn't too panic. But When I drove with them, the speed was only 30 -40 Km/hour maxi, I haven't tried any main road with traffic lights and more traffics.

Today I had another hour with Mike, the instructor. He wanted to know my progress so I drove in the sub-division a little while then moved into the main road, it was about 5:30 so all people almost were at home, less traffic. He asked me to accelerate as I was too slow. When I drove to the freeway, the maxi speed is 60km/hour while my speed was only 45km/hour, that's why he asked me to be faster.

It is good experience for me to try , he taught me the lane changing, and deal with the traffic lights. Of course, as he has the brake at his side, I wasn't too scared but I was still too tensed, and nervous, maybe it was the first time I was in the main road, I really need to be more relaxed! How to do that ? I think it takes time, at least I don't want to listen my heart beating when driving.

Tonight the prayer is important..
