I'll have to search for a defensive driving course here in Perth. I got my DL 5yrs ago(not without failing twice..) & have slowly gained confidence. I know how to get to many places without a map and don't rely on one all the time. I'm better on a bike by a smidgen.

Yoga-I will have another try.

Chicago-Allowing myself to stop & think-I'll apply that next time & see how it works.

Grog-My dad is like that! (former Mr Logistics for the CDN military..) and I wish I could have the skill! Ian too..

Thanks for the help ladies, much appreciated!

I'll get there eventually...
