So on Thursday,
I start on a new journey,
LEARNING HOW TO DRIVE.
I have finally decided, after 3 years of the legal age to drive, to take up driving lessons.
So it was either Auto or Manual to learn.
And honestly, I have no idea why I even choose to learn manual.
When people asked, I would say I want to be a race car driver.
Too much of watching F1 i guess, so macam paham like that, haha
And so my first lesson, was in the evening at some roads behind the Comfort Delgro Drving School.
Much theory was told, which I don't really mind,
cos I was freaking scared to get the car moved.
And then after half an hour or so, its time to get the car moved.
I know for sure, reading the book is totally way different from what you will be doing practically,
You get what all those driving term means.
When the car moved, i was amazed-balls.
LIKE WHOA.
Happy for that moment.
But then the rest of the driving did not come into pieces at all.
I can't coordinate my freaking legs.
That is the most irritating thing of all.
Then secondly, when asked to change lane,
I totally forget to see the mirrors!
Seriously asking for accident seh.
And then when comes to turn, I don't how much to turn the steering wheel.
Stopping is another shiteous thing.
I keep on forgetting to simultaneously press the clutch and the brake pedal,
And then feel "panic at the disco" when I can't move the gear stick.
But I think there's this eenie-meenie part that I have to blame my instructor.
He's like mumbling uh.
So I don't know what he was asking me to do sometimes.
Everytime i go, "huh?!",
lucky its not "what the fuck?!"
And when I didnt do what I was told, he do a hand-brake to the car.
Hah.
But at least, there's something good that came out from me.
1) When the instructor asked to change lanes or do a turn.
My hands are fast enough to hit the signal indicator.
2) I can change the gear level without looking down!
:)
I will be learning again later today.
I hope with what Faezah had told me about the tactics, I can drive well.
Coordination is the key!
