My teacher always said to me that my drivingtechniques were good, but that i wasnt very observant about what happend around me on the road. It took me a while before I was. I'm not sure but I think my SA had something to do with that because I didnt feel very comfortable with him in the car. I always sort of felt the pressure that I had to talk with him. Finally got my driverslicense after failing my exam 2 times. I had that same feeling with my examinator. But the third time my teacher came allong sitting in the back seat (he didnt the first two times) and that actually helped me allot. He was able to talk with my examinator and that way I didnt have to worry about me having to talk. In general I always feel better being with 3 people than just 1 on 1.
