the positioning thing you mention will come back briefly anytime you change car especially when you change to a bigger car
With the experince with bigger positioning won't look different

That was in 1985, and i was staying with my elder sister then at Okota .I had begged my neighbour`s driver to teach me how to drive, it was a volkswagen beetle car. We had gone onto our street then in Okota and everything was smooth until the way back home after that first driving lesson. On getting to our gate instead of me to slow down, i drove straight to the gate of our compound. The gate came down with some part of the fence and the beetle was a write off. I felt really bad for my sister`s husband because he was carrying that car like egg. When he found out , he felt dumbfounded and sat on the ground with his hands on his head.
And what happened thereafter, were you punished? grin

My sister`s husband is gentle, but my sister locked me up in a room and beat the hell out of me. I no go forget that beating, some robbers get better treatment I swear

The way you leave your house and join others walking on the street without colliding with others? The same rule applies to cars and driving.

No one will chase u off the road, just stay on ur own lane, others will do too. By the way, just as u are scared of not damaging your vehicle, the other drivers dont want any damage to theirs. So don't give in to intimidation.

Remember those who are not as intelligent, educated or mature as you are driving perfectly. They dont have 2 heads, so stand up and dont be a sissy
This is the rule I applied and it gave me confidence to enter the road.
