Despite stalling twice (I only stalled once on the first lesson), this one went quite a bit better than the first.
On the first lesson, all I really did was go around the block. This time (with a new driving instructor) I covered a fair bit of ground and a variety of different types of streets - little back sidestreets, two-lane main roads, divided main roads, and roads with trams on them. The driving instructor was quite pleased at my handling of the car and clutch...even though I'm still (obviously) in need of lots, and lots, and lots of practice. I'm fine on the upper gears, but still need work on getting the clutch to engage the engine.
Thanks for the notice on this, Liz ;-)
I booked a third lesson, which is likely all I'll be able to get in before I end up in the US. The fun starts again there, though, with me continuing to learn - on the other side of the road.
