What you may ask??


The one class I have been counting down the days till...one step closer to independence...one step closer to the mini-van...


And what class is this???


DRIVER'S ED!!


WOO! :dance: :rock: :banana: party: :mango


Ok, now that all of that's out of the way, I must ask, does anyone have any comments, advice, driving horror stories? Please, do share.

Our DE teacher had mad BO. Even my brother said the same thing, who had him 15 years before me. As for my driving teacher, he was cool, thought a little :crazy:. He kept telling me to 'stay left' and 'slow down'. Pssh whatev! I still passed.:D

ooh g/l! Keep a safe distance between yourself and curbs. And put on your seat belt, look both ways when driving through an intersection (even though most people dont do that when its a green light), and dont speed!

Good luck with that. I was supposed to take that months ago but now I'm waiting until spring, don't want to start driving in all the ice and snow.

I was going to say that. I had to learn that one the hard way(2 $200 tires later).

They don't even offer that at my school.

I'm scared to drive. I'm the only teenager in the world who says no when someone asks me if I want to be taught. Idiot. :wallbang

Some guy almost ran into my car yesterday. He was running across the road and if he ran any faster wouldve ran into my trunk or something! It was getting kinda dark so I didnt see him soon enough to stop, not to mention he was JAYWALKING!

And make sure to use directionals whenever you make a turn! :mad: Oh, and dont ride on peoples asses- its really annoying.

Dont lock your keys in your car either. Ive learned that the hard way. Ive learned it 8 times :lol:.

Driving on the highway petrifies me. :eek: I've been doing it for a year and still get all nervous. I MUCH prefer the open road like the interstate.

They don't offer it at mine either, my school didn't even have a frikin brochure.

when I took my test many moons ago, the guy turned on the radio right after I started the car, then he says "you dont mind do you?" I just kinda shrugged 'cuz I was nervous. I was doing pretty good until I was stopped at a light and I looked over and realized that the guy was ASLEEP (!) I was so shocked that I was just sitting there staring at him until the guy behind me honked the horn because the light had turned green - AND THE GUY WAKES UP AND GAVE ME DEMERITS FOR IT!! :cuss: :dirtybastid: :rancidgranola:

I wasn't driving my partner in the car was and he just cruised.:lol:

Good luck Ewan! Have fun!:) :wave:

When you're doing a 3 point turn, make sure you look over your shoulder both ways... it cost some woman a hit and run.. on her trash barrels :eek: but hey it cost me even more to fix the damn chipped paint on the rear end of my mother's car :o

I DESPISE the 3 point turn!!! :cuss: I have failed my road test twice because of it. The first time I backed up too far and ran off the road a little and the 2nd the road was too narrow and it took me more than 3 points. :mad:

I remember taking Driver's Ed at my school. The teacher of the class was nervous whenever a student was driving in the car because he had been in an accident at some point in the past before with a student driving, so he was always reaching over and taking the wheel sometimes 'cause I guess he was afraid of people crashing or something. Driver's Ed teachers always made me nervous. I was always scared I'd do something wrong or go too fast accidentally and they'd yell at me or something. Actually, I was going too slow one time and the teacher actually had to tell me to speed up. I hated parallel parking though. That was definetely one of my weak spots when driving.

Show your driver's ed instructor that you are serious about safety.

I suggest wearing some kind of helmet.

;)

:lol: after my little mishap, I'm an expert at it now :rofl:

Oh man do I have a Driver's Ed horror story! I just got done with my driving time and it was my partner's turn to drive. He was driving on the interstate and he had to merge with the other cars. The instructor told him to pull into the next lane, that it was safe. Well instead of merging into the next lane, he put it into park! Right there on the interstate. You wanna mess up a car? Then put it in park while you are driving. I've never been so scared in my entire life. Another time a different partner hit a cow. Needles to say we weren't on the interstate that time.

Quite simply, don't let two girls be your driving partners.:stressed:

Actually, it may have helped me a little. It probably made me look like the best driver ever to the instructor.:cool:

Anyways, it was fine, my class teacher is nice, my car teacher seems kinda weird though, I only saw him for like two seconds though. Anyways, it was blah...but I mean how fun can a class be?
