I've been driving in my car

I've been driving both on my own and with Doug and the boys in the car. My general driving is fine, but the clutch on the Peugeot is giving me major grief; its nowhere near as finely tuned as the car I've been learning in. I've gone from being able to control the car with minute movements of the clutch to being completely unable to control the car during manoeuvres like reversing and parking - because the Peugeot needs a bit of gas to move anywhere, I now need all three pedals to manage manoeuvres that I could previously do with just one (two if we were on a slope or something).

Yes, I know, it'll come with practice. Its just a bit difficult getting in the practice when I've got the kids in tow - its stressful enough as a new driver trying to get the car to do what you want, without the boys twittering/crying in the back.

The thing thats amused me already is having spent ages during lessons trying to perfect a reverse bay park and eulogising to Doug (untaught in the ways of bay parking) about how much better it is to reverse into your space is that having found myself with limited clutch control; having realised that if you spend anytime in Morrisons car park lining up your point of turn someone else will nick your spot; and most importantly the horror of realisation that you're suddenly going to have to park next to OTHER CARS (which they never teach you in your lessons), I've decided that its going to be far better all round if I just drive forward into a parking space. At least until I get a car that has a clutch that actually has a biting point that you can find....
