G2

Ya, so today I went, I came, I saw, I drove, I conquered, the G2. I got the license. To tell the truth, I wasn’t nervous…until I drove into the parking lot waiting to do my test. Right when the instructor came in, I started getting the heavy breathing. I saw a guy right before me fail his test while he was backing out cause he didn’t know his right of way and almost hit a few Chinese people just standing on an island watching everbody. Just a whole bunch of people just sitting and standing on the curb. STupid Chinese people, they are gonna fail all those whoe come in. Ya so I passed and the instructor was like luckily there were no cars behind you while you were at the intersections or you would have failed. I’m too hesitant while driving. I’m too curteous and I will let people go before me…even if they are about 100 metres away going at 40 km/h. It was all okay cept for the second intersection. A bus stopped to pickup passengers and I was like….hmmm should I go….is the bus turing….doesn’t it have the right…but w8, the oncoming traffic is coming my way…should I go now…or w8….hmmmmmmmmmm. I went to the residential area and man, the guy asked me to do parallel parking. THAT SHIT IS EASY….if there is only one car. I did the park…he asked me to back up and do a three point turn. I did that, turned the wheel, indicated and let go of the brake and went backwards. I forgot to change the gears. Most of the time, I couldn’t hear what the guy was saying so I had to ask and ask and ask and ask and ask for him to repeat. The drive in parking lot was brutal cause he said to make a left but there was just a docking bay after the turn, and I didnt get what he was talking about. So about after a minute of asking him what he meant, I noticed the car that was driving out of a parking space on the left side and then I went in and conquered. The guy was really nice too, he even told me when to stop and when to turn the wheel and when to go during the parking. So weird. I did well. The beginning and the end were all OK and during the middle…not so much. I dont’ remember the test results ’cause my instructor took my sheet away from me and kept it. Whatever now I will be able to drive to school…that is if I am able to pass my parents’ road test! Ya, they think I’m not ready yet. I gotta prove them that I can drive to school….psh just because I almost ran down like 6 pedestrians and got into a car crash..,but hey wasn’t my fault, that other driver didn’t even have her license with her.
