Despite getting my driving license almost 8 years ago, I once considered myself to be a perpetual driving newbie, someone who’ll never get better at the arts of driving.
That statement is, well, at the very least, mostly true. While I haven’t made any new dents in my car lately (*knocks on woods!*), I still come close to doing so several times in the past few months. I’m still really, really, REALLY bad at parking, rather horrible at changing lanes (to the point of being scary, according to my dear bro and my dear mom!), and I still have absolutely no sense of directions!
Having said that, however, I just realized how far I’ve come along this driving-learning-curve today when I was driving behind a brand-new-red-license-plated car today in the parking lot! I could swear that car was going at no more than 2km/hour at the speed it was going! OKay…. sure, we shouldn’t really be driving fast in a parking spaces anyway, but heck… it doesn’t hurt to step on the gas a bit, you know.
Actually, I was a little disappointed that the car made a turn right before exiting the parking lot, because I was so curious to see if it will continue at this snail speed once outside the enclosed space of the parking basement.
So, I’m *DEFINITELY* better than that now, right? I wonder if I was ever like that while I was learning how to drive (both the first time when I first got the license and the time 2 years ago when I started driving for real)?
Now, that was too slow! Why wouldn’t he just get off the car and pushing it instead of driving it if he’s going to go THAT slow!
I’ve been driving for over 10 years and I still HIT stuff all over the place. (luckily, I never hit *living* thing) I am a bad driver, I drive fast. I don’t drive below speed limit (unless it’s rush hour - my car does not fly) and get annoyed at drivers who do. On a *chill* day, I’ll go at speed limit and patiently follow the car in front of me without changing lanes cutting in and out like a maniac.
I don’t drive anymore now that I work from home. It’s just the matter of time before the DMV recall my driver license back or I can’t afford to drive because of the increase in Insurance premium.
was the person looking/waiting for a parking spot? many people tend to do that a’ — which is very annoying. -”-
ROFL. Maybe he didn’t want to miss a parking spot? He can’t possibly be afraid of driving into parked cars!
>> Val & P’Macsf : Nonoononono ka. He/She definitely was NOT looking for a parking spot! It was 8:30PM by the time I was driving out (yes, I know… leaving work at 8:30PM, sad, I know…) and the parking lot was almost completely empty!!!!!
