Week 2 is now finished we finished the week off with alot of in town driving focusing on the busy sections of downtown during rush hour and of course working on our turns we are supposed to have a minimum of 10 hours driving by the time we test out and with the 1 on 1 ratio we already have over that with another week to go still next week we are supposed to be heading over the mountains to get some experience on that before we test out the first week of december

Week three started off on monday on the backing range due to the snow storm so we backed all day with a trailer that was off a little so had to adjust all of our backing moves but got it done then today we did a practice test on the pre trip backing and road test I did pretty good missed 4 points on the pretrip missed 2 points on the backing and missed 9 points on the road test if it would've been the real thing I would've passed I should test out best monday as long as the weather dont interrupt the schedule until then it's just gonna be practice practice practice
