Achievement

So yesterday I left my house, got into a car, drove it around the neighborhood, drove to the gas station, came back home, and parked the car in the lot next to the house. The neighborhood dogs, cats, squirrels, and deer* remain unharmed.

Of course, my blood pressure was through the roof and I was shaking spasmodically. But I’ve only had 16 hours behind the wheel, and people keep telling me it gets better.

* We have a herd of deer living in a small vale around the corner.

    Congratulations! In my experience, it took about a year behind the wheel to actually relax while driving.

    It does get better. Please trust me, and remember that I got my driving license at 31.

      Thank you! It’s good to know that there are other late-learning drivers!
