On the 5th of January 2012, 1:08:08 was the moment I first got myself behind the wheel. I have been waiting for the arrival of this very moment since my childhood. I remember I dreaded the long hours of waiting just to get to one place.
Okay, so I got behind the wheel yesterday, both excited and nervous. This isn't your typical toy car or a make shift one. It's actually a REAL car! It moves, runs on gas and has 4 WHEELS! For Godsakes, that day was awesome!
Manuveuring was easy(easier than i thought), starting the engine scares me a little(very loud!). Except that i nearly bang my head on the wheel when I braked suddenly, that was probably my biggest mishap. Balancing on the slope was a headache, clutch first, brake and then hand brake. okay, it will not roll down. Next, firing away from the slope, gas, clutch(release with care), gas again handbrake and SHOOOOT! It isn't as easy as it sounds, you will be distracted by your fear and uncertainties, mind you.
Only next week I will be getting my L license and start driving lessons. If you ask me whether driving will be fun, I will only be able to tell you after a couple of lessons.
