Transport Story

I've been through so many driving instructors. One taught me to drive a van, and another taught me how to ride a motorbike. The problem is, none of my driving instructors have successfully taught me how to drive a car. You would think it's like driving a van, but for some reason I can't drive a car, even though I can drive a van. The bite is totally different, the clutch feels different and the size difference confuses me. I just can't get the hang of it! I explained my predicament to the newest of my driving instructors, and he said its a problem that occurs with some young drivers. So I'm not alone then, that's good. The problem is, I really need to be able to drive a car. I want to go to university next year, and if I go then I will need a car. I will need to be able to drive home, and around the city that my uni is in. I can't drive a van there because the uni car park has a height restriction that a van doesn't fit under. It's a very big problem. I'm not sure what to do. I had another driving lesson with the latest of my driving instructors yesterday, and we nearly crashed. When I'm in a van I'm higher up and can therefore see further. We were turning right at a junction in town and when I looked it seemed clearer. The problem was, it was a relativity blind junction as there was a wall in right the wrong place that blocked visibility to the right. It doesn't bother me in the van as I can see over it, so I've never had a problem with that junction before. That was until I tried it in the car yesterday. I saw it was clear and went. It wasn't clear though, as my vision was severely reduced. A car came hurtling along towards me from the right and my instructor had to use the duel controls to make us do an emergency stop. The other car managed to swerve round us, narrowly avoiding crashing into an on coming car and causing a pileup. Luckily, no one was hurt, just very shaken. It's knocked my confidence alot though. Hopefully I'll get the hang of it soon and pass my car test. Wish me luck! I'll try my hardest not to drive anywhere near you!
