Driving

So my supervised driving period is over and I can get my license. Actually my parents are slightly unwilling to let me make that step for four reasons.


Reason # 1
I was backing our van out of the garage and I started turning too early before I was quite out of the garage and put a big ugly scrape all down the side of our gorgeous van.


Reason # 2
I let my attention stray when I was driving up to go into the garage and looked at mom, therefore I did not pay attention to the small fact that I was rolling and the garage door was not all of the way open yet. I bent the garage door so badly that it couldn’t open and cracked the front bumper of the car. We went inside the garage and kicked the door until it could open, but it still has a nice scar.


Reason # 3
I was going around an icy corner way too fast (about one million miles an hour) and fishtailed. I pushed what I thought was the break pedal, but it turned out that it was really the gas pedal. Heh heh. Anyway, I spun in a circle and shot off the road into our dear nice neighbors mailbox. I bent the mailbox, put a dent the size of two soccer balls in the side of the car, broke the tail light, and got whiplash.


Reason # 4
I was backing up and hit a tree.


Anyway, I am not going to get my license for a while because of these and a few other close calls. I resolve to be a better driver :)

Believe me, our mailbox was all ready pretty beat up :) Sounds like it did more damage to your care!

You can blame your drivers ed teacher... and judging from your post about drivers ed teacher quotes your DAD needs to watch his language :) Ben
