My new life as an angry driver
I finally got around to getting my driver’ s license this morning. It was all fairly prosaic (crippling nervousness followed by delighted surprise) except for one part of the test- I was doing a totally legal turn completely perfectly and the car behind me beeped and yelled “learn to drive!” as he drove past.
This angered me for two reasons.
1: I was doing the right thing. Learn to criticize, dickhead!
2: I was in a car with Learner plates on it. An RACV Drive School car with bright yellow L plates! If anyone is ever in one of these cars they are most likely:
a) already learning to drive
b) taking a driving test
c) a driving instructor
Gahhh! Idiots! On the roads! Everywhere!
And I’m one of them now.
