So coming back from town today, papa suddenly remembered that I have passed my driving theory and thought he'd let me have a go on the car. Brilliant idea. I mean I must be a pro at it after having 2 hours of driving lessons? And surely the least I can do is drive down the hill in third gear? ...lol FAIL.
Actually it wasn't thaaat bad .. it only hit..and I mean literally HIT when he asked me to turn left just 2 yards before the actual turn. Anyway, in my 2 hours of lessons, the steering I've learnt is how you're actually meant to steer but my dad with his 30 odd years of driving experience steers in a totally alien way to what I've been taught. So obviously when I asked him which hand goes down first to steer left..he didn't have a clue what I was on about..instead I hear him yelling "brake! brake!"
Right.. I know I am not steering like I should but I am still looking at the front and I know I am driving on the kerb and I know I am heading towards the traffic sign post [which by the way said "GIVE WAY" - lol hell yes!] ...point being, yelling is not gonna make things any better now.
He pulled the hand brake and I braked...after a little while. The post obviously got knocked down lol but the car is mashAllah fine. Good ole' Honda... it didn't even get a scratch. My excuse: "I am not used to your car o.o" ....Then my dad had the cheek to take the kids to show 'em what I had done ...and Hira took a picture.
Could have been a dog or a cat ..or even a living person instead of the traffic post. =/ ...
I hope papa's learnt that I'm not a pro yet and neither is he the greatest of instructors.
