So. I sat behind the wheel of the car for the first time in years.
And this time, I didn’t just sit there dangling my legs, pretending I was a Formula One Racer.
I didn’t sit there thinking I was James Bond and would flip the car over the edge of a cliff and somehow miraculously survive.
And I certainly wasn’t there trying to rev up the car for my dad like I used to do.
Nope. It was more serious than that.
Trembling, staring dead ahead whilst desperately trying to watch my rear-view mirror, I sat there, ready for my first driving lesson.
AndIpanickedlikeI’veneverpanickedbefore!
So dad was trying to teach me how to configure my mirrors, reach the pedals, which gears I had to push and pull, etc.
That was easy.
Then he told me to drive.
I wasn’t even sure if the car would follow my lead. But surprisingly enough, it did. After the initial false starts and near misses of the curb.
Mind you, I was doing all this in an abandoned car park. And I was already afraid.
I hope my driving improves significantly and that I will not be banging into things out of sheer fear. [rhyming bonanza...]

Haha.. I found this blog when I first started uni.. Having driven for a few years, I understand the feeling of sitting in the driver's seat having to ACTUALLY drive.
Once you get used to it (if you do a minimum of 10+ hours at the very least) you should be about fine. Aussie drivers are so much milder than Malaysian drivers (being from KL myself).
Good luck with getting used to it! haha..
Just thought I'd write something in the midst of my midsemester exam period.. ;P
