I've been trying to work towards getting my drivers license for the first time. I unfortunately wasn't one of those teens who actually got their permits as young as sixteen. So I've just been in this long path of going straight from knowing nothing, all the way to actually taking lessons.
Today, though, I decided to finally get behind the wheel for the first time with one of my parents guiding me along the way. They just had me drive around the residential area we live in, and explained all the basic functions of the car.
But seriously, I can't do it. No way, it's just not possible! Turns feel incomprehensible to me, and it feels like it's impossible to use the accelerator. I'm supposed to 'lightly tap it,' but even tapping it as lightly as I can muster sends the car flying forwards, and it freaks me out a ton. I feel like I'm just driving around waiting until I eventually make some sort of mistake and cause some sort of property damage. I'm afraid of being a nuisance on the road and slowing other people down.
I have no idea how I'm going to do this, I genuinely despise driving, and never wanted to learn if I could have helped it. Unfortunately, there's no choice these days.
What a pain...
