Learning to Drive
On our first day back to school we went to the Leinster Driving Campus. Our class was split into groups of 15 and 14. My group was then split into 5 groups of three and we then picked our cars. Our instructor Sylvester taught us about the car for about ten minutes so we had a little bit of knowledge before we started to drive. It took a while to adjust the seat and steering wheel for me as I'm tiny! After that I actually got to drive the car around a little course with traffic lights and roundabouts. After that we had a quick lunchbreak and then we went into a prefab and in our groups of three we took a mock theory test. Then we went outside and put on 'beer goggles' and had to move cones around and high five our instructor. We did this as it showed us how our depth perception was completely altered by these goggles which was would happen if we were under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The point of this was to show us that we should never drive under the influence due to the lack of depth perception which determines how far away from cars and pedestrians we are when driving. All together I had a brilliant time and would definitely recommend to others.
