hi. my name is May. i’m 35, and i don’t know how to drive.
this is my third attempt to master the wheel.
i assume my previous instructors gave up for logical reasons.
i want to prove them wrong…
so help me God.
and if i were YOU: for the next three weeks, (or months!) stay away from cars with a driving school logo. avoid them like the plague. it’s safer that way. you cannot blame me. i repeat, you cannot blame ME. you have been warned!

happy trails!

WOW!!! That is amazing to me that you do not drive - you obviously must live in a larger city with good public transportation? I began driving at 16 and can’t imagine not doing so - but where I live there is no other way to get around. My mother-in-law will not drive (she can, but just is too nervous) and so cannot ever go anywhere without having someone take her - it would drive me nuts to be so dependent on others, but it does not bother her. Anyway, good luck on your driving - I’m sure you will do just fine!!! AND you cannot be any worse than all the 98 year olds who are blind and deaf driving home from their happy hours where I live - LOL!!!

wow, happily married, overpaid and doesn’t know how to drive. Can we trade places for a day?
You can do it, May. You still have 40-60 years ahead of you. Plenty of time to master the art of driving.
Good Luck!
