i FINALLY passed my driving test!! after a gruelling 3 months of lessons!! All that stupid mistakes while driving always seemed funny/hilarious to me but, aparently not for the instructor. XD I remember knocking the poles a total of 3 times, and one of them included stepping in the middle of the brake and the accelerator, and then my foot finally decided that the one on the
right was the brake *eeks* -loud accelerating sound and finally BRAKE- i hope no one saw it XD
My on the road experience included driving onto a kerb, and wearing the poor gearbox out. And also dangerous lane-changing!! (obviously it would be EXTREMELY wise not to drive near me)
I have no idea how I managed to pass actually. Maybe it was just luck! The first time, the JPJ guy was really sour-faced, and i was really hoping for the best. he didnt say a word... until i turned too fast and went into the opposite lane, i can tell you, his bomb burst! he started going on about having to go slow while turning, and something about YOU CANNOT GO INTO THE OTHER LANE... (me: -thinking- s*** damnit... darn car) and he ended his speech with: FAHAM? (me: -squeaking- fahamm...) And he actually said he was gonna let me pass IF i didnt do that disastrous turning... I thought I'd failed when my speed meter reached 50 for a second (and teh darn car was so hard to slow down!!!) and i accidentally skipped a red light *oops*
The second time, was A LOT better! Why? Because there was a traffic jam!! And that means no forgetting when to change the gear, cos i had to stop after every few minutes XD i tell you! that JPJ guy was so impatient! there's a traffic jam for god's sake, how the hell do you expect me to squeeze into the lane!! (unless, of course you gurantee that you wont fail me if i do so) And then, when I was doing my balancing when going up the slope, he was like: 'cepatlah! tak mau jalan ah?' (me: *thinking* wth no patience ah?!) after that was pretty okay... til some stupid car stopped in front of me, and I had to brake. And the typical blur me forgot to switch back to gear 1 after braking. That impatient JPJ guy, without a word, changed my gear in a mili-second, and of course, I was still in my blur state. (mind: oh yeahhh...) And thennnn.... just before the disastrous turning, was A TRAFFIC JAM!!! YAY!! so i didnt need to slow down!! wohoo~ And so... that's how I passed!
I take it as a relief! no more disastrous driving lessons anymore!! (which also ruins the days i reserve for major dl jobs XD)
