What's going on here? I was asked a question and I answered. No more no less.
Dammit, Silfren. xD

What're you pointing fingers at me for?  All I said was that you didn't know what it meant to be subtle!

Stupid Australians driving on the wrong side of the road.

My first time was also with my dad.
I literally almost crashed the car a couple of times, and it took a long while to finally do it right. One time he told me to drive home and park the car when I first started learning...That was horrible.

No the first time was good until the latest session of learning... then that piece of crap that is called exam-car let me down and left me with much desperation and after few times that I failed the test last year I put it aside.

In the last summer I tried to drive with my father's car few times and I almost mastered it and I learned how to use clutch flawlessly. But the problem is I'm sick and tired of going to that exam center... so I'm still license-less.

From what I remember I wasn't nervous at all.

I was more nervous driving the M1 Abrams Battle Tank even with a ground guide

My first time, was in a manual, with no previous coaching. It was a stranger's car that I was planning to buy. Somehow, I was able to drive it like I'd been doing it for years.

We came back later with the cash, and I got to meet the guy's son, whose car it actually was. Let's just say he was hot, I got nervous, yada yada yada, backed the car into a ditch. Once his dad rescued it, we hightailed it out of there. I killed it probably 20 times on the way home.

Thankfully, my grandpa volunteered to take me out and teach me how to drive it.  I drove a stick shift for years after that.

Ditto. Driving came naturally to me.

I have never gotten a ticket or been in an accident that I caused (though I did cause an accident: I braked at greenlight and heard a hornblast from behind me. I started going again to keep hearing the horn, followed by a loud crash. Apparently, both cars got totaled. I have no guilt, and feel nothing but humorous enjoyment at it. It was, and still is, funny as ****, and one of the few times I actually break out in uncontrollable giggling whenever I think about it.)

And this is coming from a guy that learned how to drive in England!

I drove the MRAP in Afghanistan a few times.

That's a place you really want to follow the speedlimit: If you get hit by an IED, you were driving too slow.

Ha! Anxiety comes to naturally to me. Driving the first time or giving an injection.

The first time I drove, I drove with two feet. I'll let you guess how that ended for me.

I've been driving with both feet as well.

It's something that you should learn to do if you track your car.

You just need to be careful about resting your left foot on the brake pedal.

Silly Americans and their Imperial system which is evidently proven to be inferior, If your millitary is smart enough to go Metric why cant the rest of you?!

Also left is best, We kept it that way because it was Napoleon who first insisted on his armies marching on the right side of the road and that carried over to cars...So since the concept of driving on the right was and is so very French!! we who are loyal to our forefathers and the crown =P are very mistrustful of it and anything french

Is it becoming more and more clear that all our strange traditions exist because of our mistrust of the french Massively? lol

The first time I drove with an instructor was terrible, He was so anal about everything. Like how I was going 59 in a 60 zone and he was like "WTF are you doing you maniac?! its the speed LIMIT.. go 50" or when he told me to turn left at this busy roundabout (traffic circle) and I wasn't really paying attention and started going straight and he slammed his brake with me in the middle of this busy roundabout and we were there for like a minute while he told me I should have taken the turn, people were pissed

[BadExamp1e]

Well not really nervous, more eager to be out on the roads. I had been driving on the low before I passed my test, so I had a bit more practice than some others might have had. I didn't want to spend a fortune paying for driving lessons so I learned from the people I knew. Wasn't all smooth sailing though. I found myself hesitating when driving with an instructor. When he gave an instruction I was late to react a couple of times. I tried looking in the mirrors as much as possible at every stop to make up for it though. I struggled to stay within in the speed limit too, I was too heavy on that pedal at times. =P

I was eager to be able to driver at first, now I hate it.

It was sweaty and sticky... Wait. What this thread about ?

[mybudgee]

It hurt her more than I would've liked... but the next two times that night were INCREDIBLE!!

[Orian Tabris]

Did anyone else get the wrong idea the first time they saw the title of this thread?

Anyway, my first time driving was barely nerve-wracking at all, since I learnt in a fairly quiet place around the suburb where I live. At the time, it was at the edge of the capital city of Australia. It still is, but a previously deserted suburb now has many houses built, turning the fairly unused streets into frequently used ones.

My mum taught me, and she made me go around the fairly unused streets many times. As for the very first time? I don't remember, but it was simple enough, since it was during the day, during the week.

This post makes no sense, since I am pretty sure no one who posted earlier than M-ivelyE-ive0730 is Australian. And because it is obviously the Americans who drive on the wrong side of the road.

Everyone KNOWS the correct side of the road to drive on is the left! And all vehicles should have the driver's seat on the right.

I damaged my dad's company vehicle before I even had a permit.

[Kaiser Arian XVII]

Only freaks use both Metric system and Drive/Park left side of the street/road! These two things are contradictory!

I wish I was living in a small city so I could practice more to find more driving confidence... the hell hole I'm living in do not tolerate any mistake. People (other drivers) are too aggressive to let you learn to drive...
