Maybe i am missing somethng here. I can’t figure out how people handle cars. Einstein didn’t drive but i am not his intelligent level i don’t think. I wonder if i am able to walk why is it so hard for me to drive? It would make sense back in 1910 the car went very slow. Peace of cake driving those times. But now cars go so fast it is mind boggling for me how people do it. And i wont give the people credit either becuase they aren’t successful just becuase they can drive cars. I know schizophrenic who can drive cars too!
Competitive driving on I-95 scares the living daylights out of me, everyone going 60-70 MPH and lane changing fast. I feel like I’m gonna have an accident when I’m driving it
I do fine as long as the speed limit is at or below 55MPH
I had drivers ed in school. I got my permit to drive when I was 15 as long as there was a licensed driver sitting in the passenger seat. Actually my first driving in high school was joy riding in my friends sisters car when she eloped and left the keys to her car. Then it was his brothers car and next was his moms car. But then I got my first car at 17 and I drove legally. I never thought driving a car was a big deal through most of my life except when I first started. I’ve been doing it most of my life. But I had to ride buses from 1990-97. After that I haven’t been without a car.
When your a teenager, driving a car is just one of those big things that everybody that age anticipates. It’s part of growing up. It’s a milestone. It’s just one of those things that are important then, like losing your virginity or getting in a fight or going to your first party. All your friends do it and eventually it’s your turn.
I’m a professional driver. I’m licensed for trucks up to three axles and also large passenger buses. I don’t do much of that these days as it’s hard to have my day job and be available as a spare bus driver. Having SZ doesn’t preclude me from doing this and I’ve been completely honest about my medical condition with the licensing folks and my physicians. I pass the required physicals each two years.
I really don’t enjoy driving and i never just “go for a drive”. That being said, i live in the country and nothing is close so i have to drive anytime i need to go anywhere. I keep it to a minimum, though. Doctor’s appointments and going for soda at the gas station. That’s about it.
Driving doesn’t bother me much despite the number of accidents I’ve been in. I started driving when I was very young, like seven years old. Getting out is usually my problem.
