I finally drove today on the busy streets of the city..it was fun and scary at the same time. I drove a Manual Vios sedan car today and i did wish i had one like that. I had more respect now with traffic rules and intelligent driving.
I was beginning to control well my footwork today. Then I was able to understand engines and the way they sound. It was funny knowing that all my life I have been a nurse listening to patients and students..now i'm listening to the agony of the engines. But it helped that the anxiety rushed my ability to pick-up things. Good thing, my teacher driver was so nice and very patient. He could take in the many instances was accidentally releasing my clutch.
All in all, i realized I could make it. I was no different than the other females i deemed dainty but was able to understand the complexities of driving. I was like them, I could make it. I'm glad with that
I was just high school when I practiced driving a car. Since I was at the beginner's stage, it was very crucial for me to decide, who will gonna accompany me in the car. I was just learning how to drive, I know taking a lot of people means exposing everyone at risk. The first and the foremost tip would be to prepare your mind, before learning to drive a car just as your mind needs to be prepared for learning the process. I’ve tried our 3 cars in practicing for me to feel the difference(there was really difference in engines)thus there’s a difference also how to carry and drive different cars. Just like you ma’am I had also a hard time manipulating the clutch, especially when changing the gear. It just needs a lot of practice. I could not imagine I was practicing almost 6-8hrs/day just for me to be able to master it. But I have to tell you something I’ve met an accident jus last last month, good enough nothing bad happened to me as well as to my car and no one knows even my family(I felt guilty until now coz I was drinking RH at that moment). It really requires your attention, concentration and alertness and make sure you are watchful especially, while driving in busy commercial roads.
