[/quote] My husband used to drive a stick-shift. He tried to teach me, once. It resulted in me driving around an empty parking lot yelling, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I DON'T KNOW HOW TO STOP!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I never drove that car again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcePrincessKRS Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 [quote name='Archaeology cat' timestamp='1332442040' post='2405438'] I know I can parallel park if I have to, but I hate doing it. Reversing, though, is quite fun. Kieran often asks me to park backwards, meaning he wants me to reverse into the space. Developed that skill when I drove a huge extended -length Aerostar. Reversing into a space was much easier than reversing out later. [/quote] Yeah, I'm pretty decent at reverse. I just get really nervous trying to squeeze between two other vehicles. I usually back into my driveway. It puts the back of my car closer to the kitchen door for unloading groceries. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissScripture Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I also got points docked on my first test, because I didn't change lanes fast enough when the tester told me to change lanes. In an intersection. Which is illegal, so I thought he was joking. Apparently, he wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] The driver's ed instructor specifically told us they WOULDN'T ask us to do stuff like that. And I was way too intimidated by the tester to even THINK of disputing it!
