Work was work. Driving lesson was ok, except I should apparently check over my shoulder and check my mirror before indicating, not after :P (in either case, it was before I actually changed lanes :P) Parallel parking sucks. Instructor went "ok, let me show you first" .. and ended up on the kerb. curb? which one is it? hmm.

Riding home was less good. Hit one of the barriers going out of the tunnel under stirling hwy. Ended up with my bike on top of me. Mmm fun. Straightened up handlebars, fixed brakes and front light, and it was ridable home. The front brake is still a little bent, as are the handlebars, but we'll see what I can do about that tomorrow. Got a slightly grazed knee, but nothing permanent :)

Angst Update: Changing the order to check before indicating is going to suck. I'm also worried because I will have only driven the car for 90 minutes total before the test. I'm also worried I'll make the wrong decisions about how to turn around, where to park, etc. Arg angst!

Your offer was kind, but given when it was made, and when my learner's expires, I wouldn't have been able to make it useful.

Lazy is a fine excuse in my opinion - I get to decide how I spend my time, and in this, I'm not spending it to get a manual license.
