I've been driving with the use of a driving permit for maybe over a year now yet I feel I still have a lot of things to know about driving. Every time I go drive, I somehow feel like I screw everything up. My husband is with me when I get behind the wheels and you know what? He always has criticisms of my driving which is forgivable to me which is understandable and I do believe he is right.. He just wants me to be a better driver. I hate myself for I am so clumsy and careless. Knowing also that he's a kind of person that expects perfection in everything he does so he also expects perfection from his wife.
Things I do that really get into his nerves are; driving our car in reverse into a curb, turning without looking in front of me that I almost hit another car, doing wide right turns which according to him scares other drivers behind me, not slowing down when there's a low area etc.etc. and worse, MY PARALLEL PARKING SUCKS! He uttered YOUR PARKING SUCKS when I drove him to the Chinese restaurant last weekend, I wanted to get the shady parking space but couldn't do it, too awkward for me if I park to my left.
I should have learned to correct these things long before but why do I mess it up whenever I drive? I must admit, I am the kind of person that takes a while to learn everything. In rare occasions, he'd yell at me and reprimand me like a daughter, ergggggssssssss..but I don't take it seriously for it is just normal for a husband to be nervous. We have a baby in the backseat and he wants me to do what is right.
I am taking my time though, I am in no competition with anybody, I'm in no rush getting a driver's license but I can't help to wish I have DL so I can just do errands without depending on my husband. One big thing about being a student driver for so long though is that I'VE GAINED MY CONFIDENCE on the road, I don't find myself shivering anymore. I feel confident driving both the freeways and service roads which I commend myself for that. Good job me!
