Scatterbrained and friendly optimist. Always happy to give my (unasked for) opinion :)

Pardon my rambling and broken English, I know I often sound like an alien trying to impersonate a human being.

  • I took my driving lessons with a manual, but have been driving automatic for over a decade now.
    Whenever I do need to drive a manual, I usually need a while to get used to it again. At those moments I make use of the guidelines that were taught to me by my driving instructor:

    1. Is for getting the car going and getting in or out of a parking spot.
    2. Is for speeds up to 25 km/h
    3. Is for speeds up to 45 km/h
    4. Is for speeds up to 75 km/h
    5. Is for anything beyond

    It’s a simple helper that matches most of the common speed zones in the Netherlands (30, 50, 80). From what I can quickly read, the 80 zone is 90 in Romania, so it should still work?

    Anyway, don’t worry too much. It is also nice not having to drive at all if it comes down to that, your boyfriend’s family sounds nice :)
    Enjoy your trip!
