So have been driving the car for almost 2 weeks now. Feels good to drive. Every day in the morning before i take the car out i have butterflies in my stomach. I feel shit scared. But then once i start driving i do feel confident and feel better.
Today i had to take my folks somewhere else other than my usual route. I was shit scared. Then i realized there is so much difference in driving on the same route everyday and taking a new route all of a sudden. Then i had to park in front of a shop which had a sloping entrance. I parked all right. But then came a car next to me. When i had to reverse i hadnt steadied the wheel and was almost gonna crash onto the car next to ours. It didnt help that my dad was screaming from behind 'Turn the wheel the other way round, now Accelerate, change gear, go front, no no now come back'. By then i had 5 ppl in front of the shop looking at how i was going? One fellow giving me advice on how to reverse 'Half Clutch madam' he said :) But for once i didnt feel frustrated or embarrassed. But looks like dad was cos, he said ok you come out, i will do it. So out i came and then dad took over.
It was a shame i would have loved to do it myself. Maybe another day. But at least now i wont get deterred from driving.
