I totally forgot to post on Wednesday – Ingrid got approved on her driving test!

This was her 2nd attempt. On the first one, the instructor was a stone-faced guy who said almost nothing during the whole session, and then said that Ingrid wasn’t aggressive enough. So we practised being more aggressive, even though I disagreed with the verdict. It’s not like Ingrid was dawdling or being so slow that she’d get in the way of other drivers; she just wasn’t taking every last opportunity.

This time she had a friendly instructor with whom she chit-chatted all the way, so she didn’t even have time to be nervous, and at the end there was no hesitation when she got her approval. I think a more friendly instructor made more of a difference to the result than Ingrid’s intention of being more aggressive.

Now we’re done with the driving practice!
