Usually, when people learn to drive, they go on the road or an empty parking lot. Apparently Jacqueline's father decided it'll be better to drive around the house, in their big yard. Don't be confused, the wheel is really on the right of the car (she's from Australia).
This video was uploaded about two weeks ago, so Jacqueline has a really long time until she gets her license. She's driving well, so she'll probably do fine.
Good luck!

First Time Driving: Jacqueline

Learn to Drive: Part 1
After the exceptionally boring series that ended last week, I have something more interesting for this month: a series of videos explaining how to drive. Well, not exactly. These videos explain what to do in a British driving test. Watch and learn, they have some good information there.
Of course, a driving test guide will help you much more than a series of videos. Don't be cheap on this, it's a matter of life and death.

We Don't Need No Speed Cameras
This story was published only three days ago, but it contains information everyone knew for a long time. Well, it wasn't hard. Speed cameras don't work. They are just used to get money and fill the pockets of the police (in the UK, at least)
Watch closely: in 2007, speed fines from cameras went down 23%, and also road deaths went down dramatically. Coincidence? Maybe. Whatever the answer will be, it just proves that speed cameras are uselss.
And finally, the reason for the reduced number of speed fines is really annoying. It's because the police and local authorities couldn't keep a portion of the money for more cameras. Another proof that those cameras were just a money machine.

Pass your Driving Test With Visualization
Fear is a natural feeling. Everyone has his own fears and anxieties, but when it prevents people from doing what they want, it's a real obstacle. Here is an article by Dan Bainbridge for people who have some sort of fear or a mental block from passing the driving test.
Pass Your Driving Test With Visualization and Subliminal Messages
Driving a car can give you a sense of freedom, if you are not stuck in jams of course! But you will only be able to drive if once you get a license. However, may of us start getting a panic attack at the mere though of a driving test! If you've taken one and failed or are turning into a nervous wreck at the mere thought of taking one, the following tips may help you:
Visualize clearing your driving test
You may have heard of athletes or sports persons, visualizing winning before an important game or match. They do this because visualization is considered to be powerful technique which prepares the body and mind for peak performance. You can also use this technique to ensure peak performance in your driving test. Start practicing the following technique a week before you are due to take your test:
Step 1- Lie down and sit in a comfortable position
Step 2- Close your eyes and deep breathe
Step 3- Now visualize yourself driving confidently. Feel as if you are in complete control of the car. See yourself smiling confidently as you take the test. Imagine that you are being told, "congratulations, you have cleared your driving test"
Step 4- Relax
Step 5- open your eyes
When you visualize something intensely and repeatedly, your body and mind start pushing towards making that visualization come true.
Listen to subliminal messages
Our subconscious directs our so called "natural behavior". Things like saying "hi!" when you meet someone or putting your hand forward to shake hands, which you seem to do "unconsciously", are actually behavior patterns which are embedded in the subconscious. When we do something repeatedly, with time it becomes a part of our natural behavior. Subliminal messages can modify our behavior as they have the power to influence our subconscious. The most commonly used instruments for transmitting subliminal messages are audio cds. Soundtracks in these cds come packaged with subliminal messages. Subliminal messages if used regularly and repeatedly will boost your confidence and help you to develop the belief that you are going to pass and remove the possibility of failure from your mind.

Don't forget that visualizing helps, but a good driving guide helps even more.

Shiny Traffic Lights
Something happend to traffic lights on the main road near me, something good. Finally, after years that their lights were nearly invisible in the sun, the traffic light company replaced them with shiny lights.
What's the difference? Well, a lot. Now even when I drive with the sun in my face I can tell the light. Before that I could only tell the light for sure at night or less than a kilometer away from the intersection. Not really safe.
I hope this trend continues with all traffic lights around here. That will be a really good change.
Have a great weekend,

The Internet as an Information Source
Like I said last week, you need information to pass your driving test. Today I have an article about a possible source of information: the internet.
Using the Internet to Learn Driver's License Exam Secrets
Whether you're a student driver yourself or a parent of a teen who wants his or her license, then you'll find that the internet provides a wealth of information. In order to obtain a driver's license, one must: know the rules of the road, learn responsibility, and feel comfortable when sitting at the wheel. While practice driving is a good way to learn, there are still a lot of rules and information that a student needs to learn from an instruction guide.
The best instruction guides these days are the ones found online. Experts have inside secrets and will help you or your teen become familiar with everything that the driving tests entail. Ordinary instruction booklets that are given out to students only contain a small portion of everything a student needs to know. Sometimes the information isn't even enough to pass the written test with!
This is why it's important to take advantage of modern technology and to study online. A good online guide will make driving easy and fun to understand. All the rules of the road can be studied and learned in no time at all on the internet.
Each student is faced with a lot on the day of the examination. He or she may experience nervousness, stress, confusion, and maybe even failure. The best way to overcome all of this is to show up prepared with all the knowledge necessary for passing. By studying, step by step, everything about driving and what to expect, exactly, on the big day, the student will feel more confident and will therefore pass.
Find out how you can receive tips, hints, and secrets about driver's tests by visiting Pass Your Driving Test. In order to pass, you need the #1 guide out there!
Have a great month,
