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.
