and I still haven’t gotten my license, or permit actually. I’ve read the books a couple of times, I’ve gotten the random motivation spurts here and there, but never have acted on them. Why? Because I’m afraid to drive. I had a bad experience behind the wheel when I was 14 – my father wanted me to get some experience by simply driving up the driveway. That said, I didn’t realize how sensitive the gas pedal was…I did my best to just barely press down, but the car shot forward and I nearly crashed into the side wall of the house and the fence.
Since that day, I’ve been afraid to drive. The only scary part for me? The gas pedal. I can picture myself driving well enough…I’m just too nervous, thanks to the past, to put my foot anywhere near that damn pedal.
