Night driving

Went for my driving lesson (1950h - 2130h) today. Had a shagged day of work having to chase people to submit their donation cards. Being a loanshark isn't easy afterall. Managed to squeeze a half-hour nap after lunch, but still very shagged as I worked non-stop till knock off time 5.30pm. After that ate dinner, showered and rushed to BBDC.

We (my driving instructor and I did 40 mins of circuit. I knocked down the two rear poles during parallel parking. After that we drove on the road on Test Route 3, however there was a slight deviation, a freaky deviation for me - my instructor told me to turn into the petrol kiosk to pump petrol. Shit damn scared I turn too much and scratch people's car. Worse still, I was scared that I
ll hit the petrol pumps and explode! But things didn't turn out either way.

Night driving is damn shagged. Need the extra concentration as the road is very dark. Very scary to check blind spot because once I turn my head, I see a sea of dazzaling lights. You don't know whether the motorcycle is behind or beside you. Sometimes beside you also cannot see!

Since I was the driving instructor's last student, I asked if he could give me a lift back to camp. It was a half-truth - I ended driving myself back to camp! Before we left BBDC, the instructor peeled off the BBDC stickers and I felt like wtf, I'm not a student and have to be subjected to real-world traffic! Was the most nerve-wrecking experience ever because I was dealing with real-world traffic. It was also my first time travelling on the new Brickland Rd Extension enroute to Sungei Kadut. I was somewhat steady on straight road, as my driving instructor said, because it's "your camp's territory".

Heart still pounding fast after driving.. cannot sleep

the instrctor is taking a risk by letting you dropped at your camp. He's not allowed to bring trainees out of the training boundary. If caught, he will received a warning from the company which will affect his bonus/ performance. Hence, he had to remove the bbdc logo!

In fact, this entry of yours will enable the company to narrow down their search to who is the instructor involved. As only few instructors in the school has cars with removable logos.

I know all these cos i'm an ex-staff there. Don't blame the instructor cos of your ignorance.
