I never really wanted to get my driver's license most kids were super excited to start driving
So they could go to the mall without their parents or whatever, but I was what my mom calls
,weird. I never even asked to start driver's ed my mom just enrolled me one day. Thanks,
Mom! Driver's ed was really early in the morning before school even started zero hour
And I couldn't even be a little late or I'd fail which I guess makes sense because you don't want people on the road who missed stop sign day
But I didn't ask to be there and waking up at 6:00 is definitely my least favorite thing besides
I didn't even care about driving what you couldn't wait a year, mom!
One time a cop came in and gave us a talk about how cars are "2-ton death machines!
He ended this speech by asking what the most dangerous thing on his belt was and I answered "your gun!"
But the cop looked at us knowingly held up his keys and said
These are the most dangerous thing on my belt
Which, no
I'm pretty sure keys are not more dangerous than a gun not unless you're bad at aiming or very creative.
Class basically consisted of just learning traffic laws
Which seemed okay until my first driving practice when I got in the car and realized they never actually told me how to, you know
drive, I knew one pedal makes the car go and nothing else
I was horribly unprepared and to make it worse I'd been paired up with the coolest kids in the class so if they got to sit in the
backseat and judge me it seems pretty irresponsible to put someone behind the wheel of a two-ton death machine without
actually telling them how to use it, that's like if you showed up to math class on the first day of school
And if you can't find the area under a curve
you die
After I circled the parking lot 'once' the instructor told me to get on the road, which seemed a little soon
I don't even remember how I stopped dude
But I left the parking lot and came to my first intersection the light was red
And I stopped so far so good when the light turned to green I started moving again a little slowly
But whatever I was driving a little ways down the road. I hit my second intersection, but stopped flawlessly
This was only my first time and I was nailing it the instructor leaned over, and I'll never forget what he said he said usually
You go at green lights. Now you're not gonna believe this, but he was right at the time
I thought my driving instructor was so cool when we'd meet for driving practice. He'd be like do you guys want to drive to,
Burger King and all of us would get real excited like yeah
You can do that and when we were driving. He'd be like hey. Let's stop at that gas station.
We don't need gas. I just want a Red Bull. I actually can't remember a time. I saw him without an energy drink
He was always very,
awake.
A little while after I passed the class it was finally time for me to take the test for my driver's license which I still don't
care about but someone made me schedule it and okay
I think every state is different with the way
Idaho does road tests is
really shady the DMV gives you a list of phone numbers to pick from and you just
Call some dude who tells you where to meet him on the day of the appointment my mom
And I sat in a Winco parking lot until someone knocked on the window like some kind of driver's license drug dealer
He climbed in the car and didn't say anything for a bit, so I wasn't totally convinced
He was the right guy
But he pulled out a clipboard and that's how I knew he wasn't a threat the test started and we drove around for a bit
Changed lanes went over a bridge
And I didn't stop at even one green light when it was over we went back to the parking lot and I sat there quietly
Just waiting to hear if I passed I mean I didn't care you know
I just didn't want to have to do it all over again. That's all after a couple minutes of silence he goes
"Better than the average bear, whoo."
Wait bears can't drive! When my sister got her license she spent months
saving up and looking through classified ads trying to find a car, but that seemed like a lot of work, so I just,
didn't my neighbor had a car that he was selling and he gave me a really good deal
I didn't have to work at all, HAH! Take that Whitney!
I actually have a lot of stories about my first car so I think it deserves its own video. Yep!
I'm doing it part two everybody!
