[Spridgets] England trip

[David Booker]

I've always found that after the first day, it becomes pretty natural and you
don't need to think so much about it. Getting through that first day is the
trick. Just remember two things: 


The driver is always toward the middle of
the road no matter where you are 
(except for RHD cars in America for
instance). And most important of all - make 
sure you concentrate on the
direction you look when turning right onto a main 
road from a side road. You
are used to looking left when turning right - make 
REALLY sure nobody is
coming from the right when turning right. Thatcould 
certainly screw up an
otherwise uneventful drive.

Another little side note - I received a Brands
Hatch driving school day as a 
birthday present a few years ago. I did pretty
well and placed high (but by no 
means first) in the class. It was all good
except for the time I tried to 
downshift with the door handle while setting
up for Druids Bend. THAT will well 
and truly mess up your line and your time
for the entire lap. The instructor got 
a bit of enjoyment from it, but was
kind enough to say he had seen it 
happen many times before. 


Enjoy it,
