Karve Week 3- Driver's License
This past weekend I had my last driving lesson, which marks a month until I have to take my driver's license test. The lesson went pretty well overall. We practiced parallel parking, and while I am not THAT bad at it, I am really thankful that I'm allowed to use a backup camera on the test. I'm also grateful that I can hit the curb during the test, and still pass. I haven't done that yet, but I have a strange feeling that when I'm under the pressure of getting my license or not, I will.
We then drove on the highway. I've driven on the highway before and have become pretty comfortable with it, so the lesson went pretty smoothly... except for the fact that we almost got into an accident, but it wasn't my fault. I swear! Throughout the course of the lesson, we drove on Route 33 and would take a ramp on and an exit off, and basically repeat that process for what felt like forever. When getting on the highway, there were two lanes. I had the right of way, and the other lane had to yield. However, a New York Jeep decided to ignore the 50 million yield signs posted, and decided to go anyways, nearly side sweeping us. My driving instructor assured me that it wasn't my fault and that I did the right thing by slamming on the breaks.
I was also informed that the test has been made easier due to COVID, and I don't even have to leave the parking lot, so hopefully, I pass. I'm really excited to get my license and to be able to drive my friends around.

The driving test is very simple! You just do a lap around the parking lot and then parallel park. They let you practice before the test, which definitely calmed my nerves. It isn't as stressful as you think. The highway was a little scary to me at first BECAUSE of the other drivers, but it seems like you have a good reaction time and you're aware which is good! It's really nice being able to drive whenever and where ever now, you'll love it!
ReplyDeleteGlad you didn't actually get into an accident! Other distracted and unsafe drivers are definitely a bit scary but you'll get more used to highway driving with more practice. Good luck on your test! It's much easier this year than usual. I'm sure you'll do great!
ReplyDeleteThe test is very easy. I am glad you are healthy and safe. These days you really have to watch the road and stay safe. The same thing almost happened to me in allentown. It is sad that some people are that careless.
ReplyDeleteHAHA Don't worry the driver test isn't as hard as you think it will be. I remember going into my test so nervous to fail, but it really wasn't bad at all. You just have to make sure to stay calm because if you stress yourself out you will get into your head. Just keep practicing. Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteI can relate to this entirely. Except, even with the modified test, I still am going to find a way to fail :). I'm sure you will pass.
ReplyDeleteI remember being so nervous for the test! But don’t worry, it’s nothing bad! I hope you do great! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteIt's so exciting that you get your license next month! I'm sure you will pass the test. It's not as bad as it's made out to be. Good luck!!
