Isn't learning to drive in NYC sort of like aerocontrols Send a noteboard - 18/12/2011 04:21:47 AM
learning to shoot in the middle of a biathlon?

I wouldn't be too hard on yourself. Most people are bad drivers, but you'll grow complacent over time. Then driving will be no worry.
Hollywood has the best moral compass, because it has compassion.

I would love to drive on empty country roads. Vivien - 13/12/2011 10:08:35 PM 1074 Views
I had to take the driving test 3 time before I passed (posted at the wrong place ) Linda - 13/12/2011 11:43:44 PM 1209 Views

Seriously? Why? At 13 you should have had some awareness of the danger you were posing to others Vivien - 13/12/2011 10:27:59 PM 1192 Views

Probably just a difference in perspective. Kids sneaking a vehicle for a jor ride is pretty common. everynametaken - 15/12/2011 03:51:30 AM 1175 Views

It must be harder to overcome that natural fear in NYC. Sareitha Sedai - 13/12/2011 06:44:28 PM 1151 Views
Yeah, absolutely. Vivien - 13/12/2011 10:32:25 PM 1272 Views

Isn't it traditional to fail your first test? Or is that just around here? Legolas - 13/12/2011 08:14:01 PM 1138 Views
I wouldn't think so Dark Knight - 13/12/2011 08:25:36 PM 1023 Views

It's rare to pass on the first try here. (according to driving instructor) Vivien - 13/12/2011 09:44:39 PM 1204 Views

I wonder how many people that have been driving for years and years would fail if they had to take Tashmere - 14/12/2011 12:03:55 AM 1174 Views
Oh I think most people with years' worth of driving experience be fine. Vivien - 14/12/2011 12:27:09 AM 1294 Views

I don't think so. Vivien - 15/12/2011 05:22:09 AM 1193 Views

I take exception to this. Stephen - 14/12/2011 06:29:40 PM 1092 Views

Also, you can tell when there's someone around the corner, because of the headlights. Tim - 19/12/2011 04:18:26 PM 1130 Views
Oooh, that's a good point. Vivien - 19/12/2011 05:17:16 PM 1247 Views
It's more pronounced and important in the countryside where there are no streetlights. Tim - 19/12/2011 05:51:25 PM 1238 Views
In the country there are deer aerocontrols - 20/12/2011 05:53:17 AM 1115 Views

I found driving nervewracking until I got to do it by myself. NZ has a great system, IMO. Rebekah - 15/12/2011 01:48:19 PM 1015 Views
