Car ride
It's my first time having my whole family in my rented car, with me in control of the steering wheel. Had to pick my brother up from school, and Dad was to be my "supervisor" for the night. I was quite surprised when Mum actually said she wanna go for car ride too, when she's got a huge phobia after a serious car accident my family had once.
Am so pleased Dad gave me 7-8/10 and praised me for improving so much compared to the last time I drove his Merz, which was like a very long time ago. I made some mistakes which Dad commented on. Shall try to change them.
This afternoon, I went for a spin alone again, with a plan to practise my lousy parking skills. But couldn't find a proper place (the parallel parked cars all had drivers in them!). So off I went to Changi Airport, and met a nasty driver on the roads. Gotta admit it's my fault since I wanted to change lane suddenly, and sorta insisted on having to change. For that, I deserve to be horned by the taxi behind, but I didn't think I deserved continuous horning, continuous light flashing and having him challenge me by speeding up, so that I'll be squeezed out of his way and crash into a curb ahead. And he continued with it even after I got into his lane. It did scare me, but it did piss me off too. What's wrong with some people? What's the problem with giving way? It's just slowing down isn't it? And I did meet some stupid guys who like horning at me for no reason from the next lane just because I'm a female driver. These ppl too free manz..
Also, I met another taxi driver who suddenly stopped his car to pick up a passenger who came out of a sudden. Goodness...fortunately I braked in time.
And there was also an ah pek who just came out from no where and walked across the road when all the cars were moving off after seeing the green light. The car before me nearly knocked into him. That driver's a P plate...it must have scared him out of his wits. What an inconsiderate ah pek..he could jolly well wait to cross the road at the pedestrain crossing which was like 15 metres away. *shakes head*
Kinda regret driving at the peak hours manz. It's scary watching how the cars around u speed and cut lanes the way they like it.
