I once stalled my car at a busy intersection on my first day. All the cars behind me were honking and I was so flustered. I couldn't figure out what was wrong at first. Finally, I realized I had let the clutch out too quickly. It was really embarrassing.
A typical first - day driving horror story could be running out of gas. Maybe the new driver didn't check the fuel gauge properly or underestimated how much gas they needed for their trip. Also, getting stuck in traffic and panicking because they don't know how to handle the stop - and - go situation well. They might stall the car or be too slow to react when the traffic starts moving again. It's really nerve - wracking for new drivers. Another is having an argument with a passenger which distracts them and causes them to make a driving mistake, like swerving slightly or braking too hard.
One of my first - time driving horror stories was when I was driving on a narrow mountain road. I misjudged a turn and almost went off the edge. It was terrifying. I slammed on the brakes just in time and my heart was pounding like crazy.
My first time driving alone, I got lost in a really bad part of town. I took a wrong turn and ended up in an area where I saw some shady characters. I was so scared that I just drove around aimlessly until I finally found a main road again.
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.
On my first day of college, I had a horror experience with the registration process. There was a long queue and when it was finally my turn, the system crashed. I had to wait for hours until they fixed it. By the time I was done, I had missed the orientation session.
One horror story could be getting lost on campus. I was so excited on my first day that I didn't really pay attention during the campus tour. When it was time for my first class, I ended up in the wrong building. I ran around like a headless chicken, asking people for directions but still being late for class.
One time I was driving at night on a lonely highway. Suddenly, a figure in white darted across the road. I slammed on the brakes but there was no one there when I looked closely. It really freaked me out.
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.
