I shouldn't be allowed driving a car D:

Posted February 22nd, 2010 at 10:25 AM by Ivysaur

Today I did my first driving practice and the only thing I remember is the teacher saying "Víctor, I swear you didn't look so pale when we started" u_u

God I almost had a heart attack when I saw a red light and then I suddenly forgot how to brake. Luckily it was raining badly and we were driving around the cemetery so nobody was walking around but I would have died if someone had actually been waiting to cross the street :( And I felt SO bad when everybody kept overtaking me because I was at like 20km/h under the maximum speed.

And then my teacher told me I didn't do so bad. I don't know if he was just cheering me up but I don't think he succeeded.

    From the sound of it, you seemed to have done like most first time drivers. You were just nervous is all and I'm sure once you get used to the idea of actually driving, it'll be a breeze for you.

    ...Until then, I'll just stay off the road even if I'm thousands of kilometers away. XD

    Haha, we're in a similar boat. I had my first in-car class last week. Somehow I survived. XD

    You guys would die driving in LA, lmao.

    I promise it's not that bad. Driving is like super brainless.

    For me, driving's easy. It's parking that's the pain in the ass.

    I don't need to worry about this now but seriously, scaring me more? D:

    Nah, you'll do fine once you get on the road again. Most drivers have the fear, but lose it once they pass.
    At least you aren't one of those people who keep stomping on the brakes ever so often.

    You shouldn't feel so bad, it was only your first time. :3 Practice makes perfect and I don't think anyone was born to drive. XD

    I'll probably die of a heart attack the second my driving instructor tells me to start the car or something.

    I remember the first time I drove a car, I thought 25 mph was fast.

    Then after a while, I realized that it was really as slow as it is when you're a passenger in the car...

    Ditto, I thought driving anything over 30 mph was too chaotic and I'd never be able to control a car going that fast.

    Now, I really can't stand to go anywhere under 45 mph... I feel like a snail is gonna pass me up or something'. >>

    The point is, it does take a lot of practice. For me, it wasn't so much about learning to operate the vehicle, as that was pretty brainless, but learning to control my fear of operating something going that fast. It just comes with time.
