Dave G. Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Driving stories? I agree...how timely. After JM got the learner's permit, I've been doing the instructing. JM loves saving money. At first, I was a wreck but it's getting better. The other day, she said I make her nervous/angry when I freak out. She forgets that the cars about to hit us are coming towards me on my side of the car...which is also where the baby sits. And, if we wreck, she has NO clue how expensive/time consuming it is. I've let go of control and try to stay calmer. It's working. JM went and took the driving test last Wednesday. Didn't pass. The gal that gave the test was a sweetheart when giving feedback. Everything was great, except turns. JM stopped at a green light when turning right...and almost got rear-ended by a FedEx van. When turning left on a small street with no center line, she entered the opposite lane before turning. Oops! Then, there was the "drift" to the right while looking over her left shoulder....for five seconds! And, leaving the DMV to test? Took 10 minutes just to get out of the parking space, almost clipping both cars on either side of her. How these DMV folks survive their jobs, I have no clue. JM tests again on the 30th. More time to practice....more time for me to seek a Valium prescription. Link to comment
