Sup everyone.

I did my 1st driving lesson last week, and it was pretty fun, but I am concerned that 8 lessons won't be enough.

Now note, I have never driven before or ever sat in the drivers seat...but I still feel that I fumbled too much in my 1st lesson?

I hardly checked my rearview mirror, side mirros...as I was mostly driving around the empty house streets. After the lesson I hated it when I realized this, I hope I start looking at all these things more for my 2nd lesson instead of just staring down the road all the time.

I was struggling in turning when you turn the steering wheel all the way to the left or the right and then turning it back to where it is straight. I was not remembering how far I turned the steering wheel, so I would end up sometimes guessing how much I had to turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction to straight the wheels again.

Throughout the lesson, accelerating made me nervous and I struggled to get a feel of the speed.

The braking started out rough, but then I started to let the car roll and braking way before I got to an intersection instead of breaking when I was closer to it, which I am guessing is the proper way to do it (starting to brake farther away from the intersection?)

Anyway, I don't know if 8 lessons will be enough...luckily the driving school evaluates your performance and extends the amount of lessons if necessary...but I hope by my 4th lesson I am comfortable with this driving stuff...

I also do not have anyone who I can practice with so my fate lies with the driving lessons alone.

How long did it take for you guys to get comfortable?

I am also hoping I don't lose the driving feeling, since my lessons are separated by a minimum of 7 days between sessions.
