ouchs! =s

driving can be pretty scary. guess i really lack in experience. now i don't dare to drive my own car!!! HOW????

let's start with my parking space. it's SO small. i absolutely have no idea how to park in such a small space, even if my car's smaller than SUVs or the 5-series and up. let's just say the only good parking experiences i've had are at outdoor parking lots here. well, for those who know how huge parking lots in seattle are, they can be bigger than the mall itself. and plenty of space. but, my apartment's garage? HELL no. it's so small and the space is in fact so small that if the car next to me doesn't park properly i'd have very minimal space to enter. how can i drive out if i can't bring my car back to its parking space?!

some people think that driving on the highway's harder than driving on normal roads because you have to go on speeds of at leasy 60mph (100km/h). i don't think so! normal roads have tons of traffic signs and lights that it gets confusing when the traffic's heavy. how can i pay attention to all the weird looking signs and lights at the same time?! what's up with the 'NO TURN ON RED'? okay, so i can turn right at some red lights and no at other lights. maybe they should make the sign bigger, or put some really bright light next to it. or how can i pay attention to a sign on the traffic light pole? geez. i need more practice.

and even on my second day i managed to put a lil scratch on my tires. somehow i still don't know how to estimate the distance between my left and right and tend to be driving toward the left because i don't know how far my right side is. how painful can that be? a $49,000 car scratched on its second day. VERY painful indeed.
