Hope she doesn't have an expensive car...

[moonchie]

Well a few weeks ago I finally set some time apart to get my learner's permit and tomorrow I'm taking lessons. Why did I wait so long? We only have one car and my parents need it more than I do so if I were to take it out my family would basically be left without transportation and my dad's always going out cause of meetings and my mom works late. I also knew that the possibility of me getting a car was pretty much zilch. I could save up and get myself a car, but we already have three and there's no space for another. Why don't we just get one of the three we have fixed?...we've tried and my parents won't get rid of them because one of them was given to us by my grandmother who passed away and I'm not sure what's going on with the other one, but dad's talking about getting it fixed. I chose to learn now since maybe that one will get fixed an I'll be able to go out without leaving my family without a car. Plus it's about d**n time I learn.

Now I'm nervous because I've never been behind the wheel and I tend to space out. The lady knows that I have no experience so I'm hoping she'll be patient. I also hope her car isn't new or expensive.

First time you've driven
Driving lessons
Is it true you can't talk to the person who's grading you on the driving test?
Did you have an accident on your first try?

well i cant really talk, since i only tried to get my restricted when i was 20 and failed xd and i hate driving with a passion. I could tell you not to do though xp

Im sure you'll be fine mrgreen  

[Zaoth Kun]

...Because I love you!

I did the lessons and thankfully the lady was really nice and kind of funny. O_O She scared me a bit cause she kept offering me food while I was driving, but she was paying attention to everything so we didn't have an accident or anything. I did ok for my first try and I have to work on my turning and speed, but at least I didn't hit anything. sweatdrop

I'm doing it again next friday.

I really don't like driving around here though, the roads are terrible. xp

And thanks IG I did do ok and luck Squee you'll do fine, too. ^_^

I didn't do the lessons, and I'm a horrible driver.

Even though I'm 14, and have never driven a car  

[moonchie]

So you're a terrible driver, but you've never driven. neutral

I think I drive better on video games. gonk
And this one old lady honked her horn at me! scream
I started laughing when I saw her though, her face screamed "In need of anger management". :/

I'm 17 - and have never driven a car emo
I did go-karting once and an a few arcade games - all resulted in crashing xd

I have to take the test again to get my permit - failed the first time. Come Tuesday I'll hopefully get the permit and practice driving with my mom or dad.

^_^ Well then I wish you luck. ^_^

My bf kept teasing me about that exam saying I was practically eating the book from studying it so much. rolleyes
It paid off, I passed with high marks and now I'm practising to get my driver's license. I don't trust myself behind the wheel though, I have to pay attention to so many things at once that I loose it. O_O
That's why I'm going to practice and practice until that fear is gone.
I still can't believe I drove this morning. xd

Lyss needs to go drive more.

All she's learned is turns. sweatdrop

But of course, my mom keeps yelling at me when I get in the car that every time she's gone out, "We haven't done any driving." Lyss didn't know that she wanted to do a driving lesson, okay? [/random rant]

Maybe Lyss'll take driving lessons from a driving school, or take Driver's Ed.

Don't know yet.  

[moonchie]

I sucked at the turns. sweatdrop

My dad was the one who called to tell me about the lessons and I said yes without thinking cause I knew that I would have chickened out if I thought about it too much. My dad just wants me to get the license so I can drive him around for once (or so he says). I'm sure he'll be telling me to do this and that and I'll just stop the car and tell him to drive...
