Driving around today I remembered another thing I was told to do by Steve.
To drive as close to the central line of the road as I could.
My second instructor spent a lot of each lesson telling me to move close to the pavement as I had more than a metre of space between me and the side of the road. Fair enough on country roads with overgrown bushes or with cyclists but anywhere else it puts you at a much higher risk of a head on collision with oncoming traffic.
And with cyclists I had to go right onto the other side of the road with Steve - not just straddle the central line but right over the opposite side of the road, which obviously is terrifying for a learner and everyone else on the road.
I had forgotten to mention that he tapped my wrist a few times when I did something wrong.
All things that I wish I had mentioned in the complaint and to the DSA.
