Driving

Driving is quite a challenge job to me. I got my driving licence in 2004. I only drove one time on the public place except for the training field, and I did not drive anymore since then. It was not a good experience, so I am still afraid of driving now. When I know my female friends can drove to work or school, it is really impressed me.

7 years ago, my sister took my brother and I to Danshui by driving in order to practice driving. My sister is already an experienced driver and we were just beginners, so she wanted to assist and give us a practical driving lesson. She drive to Danshui first then it was my brother's turn to practice driving from Danshui to Baishawan. He was not at ease at first, but he was getting better and better after a while. When we were sitting in the car, both my sister and I were a little bit nervous. It was because we knew he was new, but we also knew he was OK and much confident after some time. At last, it was my turn to practice driving form Danshui to home. I only remembered that there were countless cars beside my car and the drivers were in a
hurry. There were a lot of cars passing my car because that day was one of Chinese New Year holidays and it was in rush hour of going  home. My feet and body were so stiff after driving home. The most funny thing was that my sister and brother said, "They will never ever  in my car again because I am a dangerous driver; How could I speed up when I make a turn?" I think I did that because I thought it was just like riding a scooter; however, it was totally different. I am pretty sure they were frightened by me at that time.

After it, I have never ever drove a car because it was a terrible experience. Of course, I know I just need more practice, but I still do not have the confidence and courage. From my experience of riding a scooter, maybe I just  need to buy my own car then I have a courage to drive because it is how I start riding my scooter. I still do not give up driving and I do look forward to driving without worring one day although I am still concerned about transferring to another lane when there are a lot of cars beside my car.
