Wow, that was enlightening

I always figured that, sooner or later, somebody would TEACH me how to drive. Especially parallel parking. From when I was little I never thought about my parents driving. I mean, I would SEE them driving, but it wasn't like they were DRIVING. Do you get what I'm saying? It's like you get behind the wheel of a car for the first time and you realize you're going to be DRIVING. That it's going to be YOU directing this big hunk of carbon steel metal whatever. You never put any thought into the fact that parents had to learn how to drive to; I always assumed it was just something you acquired once you hit a certain age. I also realize that arcade racers aren't exactly practice for actual driving.

The point of my story?

I'm preparing to take my road test soon, and I can't reverse. I mean, I can, but sometimes when I swing around to look behind my sense of orientation gets skewed and I forget which way to turn the wheel. DON'T LAUGH!

I also can't parallel park as well as I'd like. Nor can I effectively reverse at an angle into a stall.
