Driving #1

The first thing that came to my mind when I was walking towards my brother's car and saw my mother shifted from the driver seat to the passenger seat, waved at me, gesturing that I will be driving home today made my brain stopped short for a moment. I incredulously pointed at myself and mouthed "Me?"

This probably wouldn't happen if I didn't skip class and study till 3.30.

She ignored me though, I was already talking to myself while walking there. "Did I bring my P license? I only learn how to drive two rounds around my housing area yesterday, who say I am qualified to drive now?" Who cares about people giving me weird looks, I was more concern about my own and my mother's welfare. While I was seated on the driver seat, I can hear my own heart go thump thump so loudly, mind you, I was actually scared but I bet my mother heart's go THUMP THUMP THUMP! It happens to people who didn't drive for almost a year right? Not to mention, I am practically trying to survive in the jungle of cars! Then, somehow, I felt nothing. Like I am an expert or something (don't I wish?). Sure I get scolded from my mum, nothing serious and a van almost bang on my car when I was driving straight and he is supposed to stop at the junction but he decided to try his luck anyway and cross. I unfortunately didn't put the hon into good use and gotten scold again for not using the hon. Was hoping to honk people once actually *laughs* The life of a beginner driver sure sucks...always getting scold for mere stuff like not using the hon. I don't mind gotten screamed at if I am not using the brake.

So my turtle journey back is quite interesting. I was driving in the first lane in highway (MRR2) along with those big lorries. My meter is only 40+ to 60. Even the heavy lorry which at first was quite far away almost caught up with me. I just drive slowly, press the oil pedal slightly and just drive, ignoring the slowness of my car and even Kancil is passing by next to me at a faster rate. When I looked behind, I saw the lorry was so far apart and I thought what happened, it was then I saw the meter went to 80+. It's a normal speed but for a beginner, I wasn't supposed to go that fast...yet. My mother didn't seem to notice though or else she will go "Don't drive so fast! You just learn how to drive, drive slowly!"

Then...

My mother wanted to go to the market and I drove her there. Not like I can say no when my heart is screaming to go home. Waited for almost half an hour in the car then proceed to eat my lunch nearby my house. I refused to eat near the market because got a lot of cars and people. Its a good opportunity to learn when there is cars but for one day, I had enough of challenge. Normally, I only have to go through 3 roundabouts, because mum have to go market, I have to go through another roundabouts. It's not bad but I have this problem with steering so turning roundabout is troublesome because they just keep on turning!

No. I didn't mean I keep on turning around and around(I am not at that stage like Mr. Bean), just that I have to adjust the steering to make sure the car is still turning and I can't steer too much or else I will go bang either the car or the side(cement) of the roundabout.

So...that's all.

This is my yet another lovely driving story.

When it comes to me and driving, I always have story to tell.
