licensed to drive

I recently acquired my drivers licence (provisionals).
Or in Australia as we like to call them "P's"
I've driven a couple of times on my own since the test and I thought I would like to share with you what goes on inside my head when I'm driving solo.

Okay, you're just going to reverse out of the driveway. 


Don't hit the mailbox. Don't hit the green electricity box. 

You've done this ten million times befo- oh wait gotta put the AC on. 

Whoops came out a little crooked. 

Just go up the street, watch out for the cars that you know are always there. 

Don't bother changing gear because you know that you will have to stop for 
the red light at the top of this hill. 

Hmm I can do this. It's kinda fun.

Make sure I have my  hand on handbrake ready to go.

Oh yay the light is green,don't stall don't stall don't stall. 

Phew made the corner before the light changed yellow. 

Keep going straight ahead. Oop another red light. 

Small roundabout ahead, but you're turning left so make sure you indicate. 

Just remembered I have to get a ticket when I enter the car park. 

What if I don't go close enough and have to open the car to get the ticket.

How embarrassing. 

But if I go too close I could hit the kerb. 

Okay, it's my turn to shine.

Line up - careful. Not too close, not too far. 

Nailed it.

They really should make the parking tickets flavoured. 

Hmm okay you want to find a car park, kind of further away from the shops where there are less cars. Easier to find a car park you can just drive straight through.

Bingo, found one. 


Hmm not quite straight.

I'll just go forward to the next parking bay. 


Brilliant.
