My Life According to Me

Stay Off the Roads!

Oh yes my friends, it is time for me to take driver's ed! Today I actually drove for the first time in my life. Pulling out I hit a curb, cagged a turn or two, attempted a U-turn (yeah, right) and did pretty well everywhere else. I actually ended up getting the right turns down. I did pretty well considering that it was my first time driving and I reluctantly went before my driving partner.
It was pretty fun, but it is a lot pressure worrying about mirrors,cars, the pedal, your speed, turning, stopping, directions, tractors, and the giggles from my partner. There is so much that you are worried about and you can't just stand back and tackle them one at a time. I am getting safe-driver-itos because I notice myself pointing out mistakes in other people's driving. Stuff like "he has his hands at 10 and 2" instead of the revised position (9 and 3) or "she is approaching her car from the rear!"- that can definitely cause a death because you don't know how the oncoming traffic is. See, stuff like that is going to be blurting out of my mouth until I get my own car. Well, maybe even then!
So, here's a word of advice if you want to live- STAY OFF THE ROAD!
