Craziest thing when you started driving

What is the craziest thing you did when you first learnt to drive? Mine is struggling to reverse a car when the foot break was on. Since it dint work I struggled to drive on but we were just there. Then a passerby said ‘she is struggling while the hand break is on’. I felt stupid having driven over 100km and this is the best I could do.

Learning to drive brought confusion as to right and left. When giving directions now, I need to consider my hands for right and left.

Luckily I drive automatic so I never have to worry about shifting gears, and alternating smoothly between clutch and accelerator. The thing I hate the most about driving, until now, are roundabouts, merging into a freeway, parallel parking, to mention the top 3.

I really hate reverse parking. Anything else is manageable.

when we were on a crossroad, i did not switch the gear back to neutral, from third, so when i drove the car, it suddenly 'strutted back and forth'.

That is not so bad. :-) some cars will make a big noise if the hand break is applied. When I was learning to drive I was afraid of parking in tight spots for fear of hitting something so would drive around and around the block.

Oh my but those things happen when you are learning. I learned to drive with a stick shift and I couldn't balance the car on a hill and always rolled backwards. I would cry hoping people didn't get to close to me because I was afraid I would hit them

It was a fun experience when I started learning to drive. My only problem is parallel parking. Idk why but I keep on hitting the cones. I know how to drive but I don't know how to park. lol and also I have an eye defect adding to the reasons why I can't get a drivers license.
