Today, class Ariel, were lucky enough to have the opportunity to go to Leinster Driving School in Maynooth. It was a first experience for many but we took it in our stride and soon we were all driving like Jeremy Clarkson!
We began the day by splitting ourselves into groups of three. You had to choose wisely as the whole day was going to be spent with them. Each group were given a folder of 40 questions as a "mock theory test". As our group were successful in our answers, we were given a voucher for a free driving lesson. What more could you want?
Next we were given a pair of "drink goggles". It gave us the illusion that we had had one-too-many and were quite tipsy. We each then ad to place a cone in a certain place and then give the instructor a high-five. Let's just say it was a lot harder than it looked!
We were then given time for lunch so we were fueled for the experience ahead. We sat in a little silver Toyota Yaris and were greeted by our instructor Mick. It was up and motoring and that stage and we were on the road.
I was unaware at the level of difficulty we covered after such little time. We drove around roundabouts, reversed, hill started AND parked! It was an injury-free day too which was a surprise after some peoples driving.
I absolutely loved the experience and wish we could do it everyday. I can honestly say it was the best thing T.Y has given us all year. It was a great way to start back just after the Easter Holidays and I hope to be on the road very soon!
