1st official lesson on reversing

Yesterday went for driving lesson again... haha

The lesson supposedly to cover crank course (includes S-shaped and 90-degree-turn shaped) and direction change. The latter involved reversing.

The crank course was very easy, as long as the speed is kept very low very low. Half clutch is needed, so must master that well.

The directional change, very surprisingly, was also very easy. I expect it to be a bit difficult as it involves reversing. But when I was practising it yesterday, it was very easy too.

Then the instructor went on to teach parallel parking, however this lesson was not recorded in the system. This one even more power, the difference between experiencing it in real life and imagine it, is greater in parallel parking than the directional change.

Very easy also... But I had a problem of not returning the steering wheel (as in straightening the wheels) before I stop at any point. While this does not result with demerit points in TP, but it just involves more work when I want to move off again, i.e. turn steering wheels 4 rounds rather than 2 rounds.
