    So had it rough today for my driving Porton of school skipped a dam gear and stalled on a steep hill need to shrug it off instructor says it happens to rookies. Can't be hard on my self now time for backing maneuver practice. Will do better tomorrow, lol. Instructor tells me its normal to make mistakes but said I did good to correct mistakes and that's important. I got a 98% on my road eval but just venting had a rough learning morning

    You'll do better tomorrow.When one thing happens other things seem to follow.Its all part of the learning but 98% sounds real good or how do they grade?

    They grade for grinding gears missing gears turning touching curbs, but yea one thing then another but its all good here to learn. They grade pretty rough but they also want u to recognize your mistake and correct it

    Shoot, I failed my permit test twice before I got it. I completely forgot to study a section in the book. I was so embarrassed. It happens. the important thing is you passed with a high score and will have plenty of time behind the wheel to get better. It's not like you were born a perfect driver. It takes practice.
