 As you know I'm currently learning to drive, passed my theory last week and trying to concentrate on my driving now. I can drive my learner car perfectly but I'm trying to get used to my own little Vauxall corsa. I can drive it absolutely fine, its just taking off I'm crap at because the acelorator is so different and you've really got to press hard. I was driving on the trading estate earlier and could'nt take off and I was on a bit of a corner so I was panicking a bit and some smart arse GRRRRR blokes were in this car park across the road stood there laughing and staring at me so as you can imagine it made the situation 100 times worse,I was so humiliated and embarrassed, after 5 attempts I gave up and sat in the passengers seat in a strop whilst an angry mum got in the drivers seat pulled down the window as she cruised past them and shouted 'DID'NT YOU FUCKING STALL YOUR CAR WHEN YOU WERE LEARNING'. You men are so mean sometimes I tell you. Anyway someone please tell me a story that will make me feel better or something, like maybe you drived into a tree or a large badger infront of its babies when you were learning or something.... Anything... I can confirm that all corsa's are indeed shit. After 4 years me and my wife still constantly stall the fucking thing at least twice a day!! Get a better car!

I can't fucking concentrate having been chauffeured around all my life and drift off peering at the scenery or perving at pedestrians.
When a mate of mine was learning his instructor quickly cottoned on to the fact that he was easily distracted by flange, so for one lesson made his drive up and down past the college until he'd got used to it :smile1: To Sade, getting used to different cars is a knack, no matter how experienced you are it always takes a while. My old dear refused to take me for any more practices because I used to scream obsenities and punch the stearing wheel when I stalled.

As a drunken pedestrian it's complacent experienced drivers who tend to nearly run me over not learners who are generally paying more attention (apart from Dazza apperently). The amount of times I've nearly been mowed down by people not noticing the red lights at crossings or people who are indicating like they're about to turn in but then start accelerating (either they've forgotten they've got their indicators on or they are trying to kill me).
I don't get what it is about driving but I know some lovely gents and ladies who turn into complete cunts as soon as they get behind the wheel.

I once reversed my metro into the wall in front of school whilst trying to impress a girl.

Sade ignore the goons stood there laughing they are probably the same 'cool' guys that cruise around studio trying to tap up illegal totty on nappy nights. My most embarassing driving moment was I stalled 'Swindon Tartan Armys car' several times in my drive way with several mates watching on laughing, highly embarassing
