1549 Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Even though I am 16 and all of my friends back in Illinois have their lisenses, because of NJ laws today will be my first driving lesson. I already passed Drivers Ed. and the State exam, but in NJ you have to take private behind the wheel lessons. I have 3 two hour lessons (today, tomorrow, thurs.). I am excited and a little nervous. The only driving I have ever done is in a parking lot, and now I will be driving on roads as soon as the instructor comes to my house...quite a jump. Wish me luck!

The Critic Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Remember, when parking on a hill or incline, it's UP UP AND AWAY or DOWN AND IN. and hitting a pedestrian is a SURE FIRE way to fail your driving test. Good luck!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1549 Posted August 26, 2003 Author Share Posted August 26, 2003 I'm back from the lesson, it was a little scary, I was talking to the guy and didn't notice that I had accelerated to 55 in a 40 zone, he didn't care until we had to turn and I tried to do a left hand turn going 35, I didn't make it tight enough and almost T-boned a car but both the instructor and I threw on the brakes then he bluntly stated "what the f*** are doing?" Other than that one occurance it went well. My instructor's friend's dad is part owner of the white sox which I thought was pretty cool BigHurt- does that mean you failed your previous driving test?

danman31 Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Starting to drive is nervewracking, but you get the hang of it. I just got my license yesterday and it's a nice freedom to have. Now I just have to get my own car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Last year, when I was going through driver's ed....all i had to do was drive around the block a few times, parralel park in front of a dunking donuts and go get the guy coffee. Got my waiver, which means no test at the dmv.....Good Times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
