What is the craziest thing you did when you first learnt to drive? Mine is struggling to reverse a car when the foot break was on. Since it dint work I struggled to drive on but we were just there. Then a passerby said ‘she is struggling while the hand break is on’. I felt stupid having driven over 100km and this is the best I could do.

Luckily I drive automatic so I never have to worry about shifting gears, and alternating smoothly between clutch and accelerator. The thing I hate the most about driving, until now, are roundabouts, merging into a freeway, parallel parking, to mention the top 3.

when we were on a crossroad, i did not switch the gear back to neutral, from third, so when i drove the car, it suddenly 'strutted back and forth'.

@ridingbet This I havent done. I forget about the handbreak or footbreak most of the times.

@aureliah That was more than a little embarrassing.

Oh my but those things happen when you are learning. I learned to drive with a stick shift and I couldn't balance the car on a hill and always rolled backwards. I would cry hoping people didn't get to close to me because I was afraid I would hit them

Don't feel bad, for it will come automatically. Depending on the situation, you'll find you are a quick thinker in a snap when you need to be. We were all driving that day all different people and all alert. We knew we had a few seconds to save our cars from that hubcap and we did what we needed to do instinctively. It's different from what shall I have for lunch in this restaurant...it's a more of a direct and quick thinking which we all have when a flying object is coming for you.

@oahuwriter That was dangerous. Did you find out where it had come from?

It was a fun experience when I started learning to drive. My only problem is parallel parking. Idk why but I keep on hitting the cones. I know how to drive but I don't know how to park. lol and also I have an eye defect adding to the reasons why I can't get a drivers license.
