I took Freya down to Sydney for her jab on Tuesday. She had a play with lots of lorries on the M1 - red lorry, yellow lorry. Max 90/kph for learners makes it exciting from the passenger seat. Keep calm and make early decisions.
A pleasant 2 hour drive down M1 to Sydney Olympic Stadium, I haven’t been there since 22nd Nov 2003.
Very smooth operation getting her Pfizer jab, she was in and out before I finished my meat pie. I am guessing that when driving tests are up and running again they will require all learner drivers to be double vaccinated to be able to take the test.
A quick detour onto the Old Pacific Highway for some bends on the way home - and 2 x 2 hour driving sessions in log book. (She has used all her 3/1)
Just be aware that if you drive over 2 hours you need a 15min break before driving again, Transport NSW will question trips over 2 hours in your log book and may not accept them.
20 to 30% of all serious crashes are attributed to driver fatigue. So break any long drives into 2 hour shifts, have a break - a red bull or coffee doesn’t count.
And please read your log books - parents included - the test is based on the content, and some useful hints, like how to steer!!!
