DRIVING :]


Today, i got to drive for the first time since i've gotten my permit 3 months ago :D haha man. So i woke up this morning and i asked my dad, you want to teach me to drive today? cause today is his day off and i'm actually home, so it's like a rare occasion and a time i can actually learn cause my mom won't teach me. So my dad drove to a empty parking lot near my house. He started by saying like the basics, i guess, about turning and how to turn the steering wheel. I was kinda zoning in and out like how i do in school :x haha so soon after that, my dad told me to drive o.o!!! ahhhh i was sooo scared about how to drive, being it's my very first time and everything haha. So i got in the car, put on the seat belt and put the gear into drive. Right after it was in drive.. the car started to move forward on it's own. i kinda paniced and was like wth!?!! My dad quickly told me that the car automatically moves on it's own and to press the brakes. Still kinda panicking i slammed on the brakes and me and my dad jerked forward a little... my very first attempt on driving... epic fail... >.< haha so i can it another try and this time it didn't really know the amount of pressure needed to be applied for the car to move slowly. So thinking logically, maybe like an inch in would put it into like a nice and slow speed... WRONG!! so i did that, and the car was just jolted forward, panicking again i slammed on the brakes... sigh... another failure.. so after a couple more tries and stuff i finally got the hang of it. So i started to drive around the parking lot in circles cause turning was pretty easy. Later on i learned to park and reverse. Parking was a little tricky cause my dad said i would always turn into the parking spot too early. The hard park was reversing out. Man reversing is pretty confusing. After i would reverse out of a parking spot, i would stop and my mind would be on like driving forward now, but i was still in reverse gear, so i when i stepped on the gas pedal i would like jolt backward. I would then quickly slam on the brakes again and correct everything :\ haha i then spent like half an hour just parking and reversing. So i got the hang of the things i learned and i didn't really feel scared or anything, just a little bit nervous in the beginning but it went away :] And that's pretty much my first driving experience :x
