Well, in my first driving lesson, I remember being overly cautious. I was barely touching the accelerator, and the car was crawling at a snail's pace. My instructor kept joking that we could probably be overtaken by a jogger. But it was important for me to get a feel for the controls gradually. It was also really difficult to remember all the mirror checks and blind - spot checks at the same time.
Nervousness is very common. Most people are worried about making mistakes or causing an accident. Another common experience is having trouble with the basic controls like the pedals, the steering wheel or the gear shift.
One common horror story is stalling the car multiple times. It can be really embarrassing when you keep doing it in the middle of the road. Another is accidentally driving on the wrong side for a short moment due to confusion.
Well, my first driving lesson horror story was when I hit the curb really hard. I was so nervous that I misjudged the turn. The sound was awful and I thought I'd broken the car. My instructor just sighed deeply.
I heard a story where a student in a driving lesson got really confused between the accelerator and the brake. When the instructor told him to slow down, he panicked and hit the accelerator instead. Fortunately, they were in an empty parking lot. The student's face turned bright red and he couldn't stop apologizing, which made the whole situation quite funny.
There was this one student who was constantly asking the instructor the silliest questions during the driving lesson. For example, he asked if the car could fly if he pressed all the pedals at once. And when the instructor told him to do a three - point turn, he tried to do it in a way that made the car look like it was dancing. It was a very entertaining driving lesson for sure.
The first time I drove on the highway, I was super nervous. I accidentally turned on the windshield wipers instead of the turn signal when I was about to change lanes. It was really confusing for the other drivers, but they were nice about it. I learned my lesson and now always double - check before making any moves.
Well, my worst first driving story was when I was trying to park. I hit the curb so hard that I thought I had damaged the tire. I was so nervous and everyone around was looking at me. It was really embarrassing.
My first time driving was a total mess. I was so nervous that I stalled the car three times just trying to leave the driveway. I was sweating like crazy and my hands were shaking on the steering wheel. But after a while, I got the hang of it and it became really fun.
My first time driving alone was terrifying. I kept double - checking everything. I was so worried about getting lost even though I was just driving to a nearby store. Every little noise the car made had me on edge. But when I finally reached my destination safely, I felt a huge sense of accomplishment.
