Drivers License

[JustStuit]

I just got my drivers license ! Yay. I would suggest any people living in the southeastern United States stay off the road for a few years.

Most people were shaky at first, in a few weeks it'll be so easy it'll be boring

Expect your first few trips to be nerve wrecking, driving on the road with the other drivers is quite scary for a while. Eventually you get used to it and it becomes natural, only takes a few months to completly get the hang of it. Good luck

Yep, you'll be fine in a few weeks. Like most things, driving improves with practice.

 

Just remember two things.

 

1. Except for racing drivers, no-one is ever as good as they think they are.

 

2. Don't get too fond of your first car. You will bend it.

My first car (truck) is an '83 Chevy S10. I like because it's loud (and fun). not to metion manual.

We don't have them over here, but it looks like a long tray 'ute.

 

Seems a good and solid vehicle. Good first car.

My girlfriend's dad used to test cars for Nascar... he's one of the few people I'm actually comfortable driving with.

Yep, just did that a month ago.

Get used to it.

 

My GF at the time rolled my first car. My third got T-boned. My fourth T-boned another car. My fifth got hit from behind. My sixth (current one) T-boned another car.

 

Believe it or not, all the T-bones were caused by the other car going through a stop sign or running a red light.

 

In case you're wondering, my second car had the engine blow up.
