Hi Giblsa, I was only joking after your comment yesterday, but you’re welcome to it mate.
BTW, that gearshift pattern is from the Volvo FL10 in my gearbox topic.
Having read day #2 of your C+E efforts, I’d say that, during slow-speed manoeuvres, you might need to look in your mirrors even more often than normal. 
Of course, ‘slow-speed’ means exactly that… so another tip is to double check before pressing the ‘loud’ pedal. 
IMHO, the training school would be quite happy for you to wear out the mirrors from over-use rather than settle claims for trashed vehicles and roadside furniture.
I still reckon you’re doing OK mate, so, steady as she goes eh??
