Left and Right

Post by calumfsinclair »

It's 2 weeks until I'm 17 and I've been looking forward to driving my whole life, my mum is a police advanced driver. However as the day draws nearer that I can drive a car, I just keep getting nervous. My biggest worry is left and right apparently putting a dot on the steering wheel helps but does anyone have any suggestions?

Write a L for left on your left hand and R for right on your right - simple, I know it may look stupid but it does the job or if you cant understand what the L and R stand for just write left and right.

I know what people say about the dot on the stering wheel i.e. the dot means that is right or left etc but with me that dosent make sence - it could mean anything. :-s

Remember that to turn right you have to cross the other lane.

Or wear a glove on your writing hand, e.g I know I'm right handed so right must be this way.
