Jan. 23rd, 2018 08:56 pmUgh, driving practice is driving me insane. (Heh, driving, get it - oh, shh.)
I wish I could just be magically good at it now. Obviously, that's not going to happen.
One of the frustrating things is that most of the time when I practice, it's:
-In the dark
-On snowy unploughed roads
-At 7-ish in the evening, when I have been up since 5 AM
-In a very large vehicle
...Because there just isn't any other way to get it done.
Grumble grumble grumble argh. Upside, once I'm able to do it in this, I'll be able to do it anywhere. It's just, you know, getting there is hard.
Also, other drivers terrify me. I'm mostly okay as long as there's nobody else on the road, heh.
I'M JUST going to have to find more opportunities to drive, especially during daylight, or something. It's difficult, considering I work, but I'll have to figure something out.

It's also... roughly twice the size of the cars the driving school uses, and because of that it handles very differently from the car I'll actually be taking the test in.
So... I'll be alive if I crash into something, but it's really not a very good car for learning in. ;p
