I’m going to try my hardest not to kill anyone with a vehicle. Or, you know, just crash it in general. Collisions are undesirable. I don’t have a car, but next week I’ll be getting my license if all goes well. That said, I’m not the best driver in the world, heck, I’ve made so many mistakes it’s a wonder I’m still standing here today. What exactly are these mistakes, you ask? Well, I’ll tell you. So far I’ve…
* Stopped in the middle of a 4-way intersection during rush hour traffic
* Nearly backed into a pond
* Driven over a curb TWICE
* Driven on a one way street going the wrong way
* Nearly backed over my dad's foot
* Killed a chipmunk
I’d like to say I’ve improved. But really, would you be comfortable in your car knowing I was driving? I didn’t think so. Oh and getting yelled at while my dad's in the passenger seat doesn't help either. He jokes about me being as bad a driver as my mom, but I don't think he realizes how much it hurts my feelings.
Also, in all honesty, the mishap that most bothered me would have to be the squashing of the poor, helpless chipmunk. Yes, the other incidents put me and others in serious danger, but I got a second chance and I learned from my mistakes. But that chipmunk I killed didn’t get the chance to do such a thing. The poor thing darted into the road and it just happened so fast. And whose fault was this? My fault. It was all my fault. I am a chipmunk murderer.
So, for those of you that drive, tell me in the comments about your worst experience on the road. If you’re not yet street legal, you can just tell me what you dread most about getting behind the wheel. Also, have you ever hit any animals? Did you feel like a terrible, awful person afterwards? I’m pretty sure I’ll eventually get sued. Woo.
For all I know I could've hit one of these guys. Whoopsies.
