I passed my test on Wednesday, that means I’ve been driving properly for a week. Yay!
Today I had to see Doctor Dave in town. Today it was cold…. So today was a few firsts for me.
The first time I’ve defrosted a car. The first time I’ve driven on icy roads. The first time I’ve parked in a Multi-Storey car park alone.
First time I’ve had to pay a parking attendant. Sadly it was also the first time I’ve had a driver ranting and swearing and waving their hands at me. 🙁
It was a hideously impatient lady…. I was between her and a double decker bus, I was following the bus. It indicated to park briefly for a passenger to get on. I lent to my right to have a look but I couldn’t see far enough around the bus to be sure was clear to overtake and there was a parked car on the other side. Thanks Mrs Inpatient Lady for upsetting a great day.
So readers, What sort of drivers are you? Are you patient and careful or speedy and less cautious?
I used to be a madly impatient driver, always in a hurry…but…since the dizzies started I’m very cautious!
By the way, impressive parking missus! 🙂
I thought so too! There was a metal roof support bar on drivers side too. I totally nailed parking didn’t I?
I can drive, just not on tests! No one believed me. But photograph says so ;-P
Congratulations on your new found freedom. Sounds like you handled things the way you should have, don’t worry about Mrs. Impatient Lady.
Thanks very much. She was ever so grumpy.
I’m an annoyed at other drivers driver.
Yesterday some STUPID woman nearly caused an accident getting onto the dual carriageway and then when I caught her up (so there wasn’t even any point in her trying to overtake everyone when there was NO WHERE for her to go!) I was the waving arms lady!
