In June of this year, i went for my theory test and i passed! I was delighted. I could not wait to start driving. My brother had already started driving, but his driving instructor had gone on holidays so i had to wait until he came home.
After two weeks of anxious waiting i booked my first lesson. While my driving instructor was away on holidays, my mam took me out in the car and taught me how to drive. To be honest I wasn't that bad, well that is what she said.
It was a Monday night at 8pm. I was so excited but nervous at the same time. My driving instructor pulled up my drive way and i sat in the passenger side. He drove around for about five minutes and stopped outside Fás. So i got into the "drivers seat" and already to start.
I started the car, but it stalled. So naturally enough you start the car again. But again it stalled and then stalled another three times. I was so embarrassed. I felt like I broke the car. I had to ring my dad to collect me, and he had a great laugh mocking me about it.
What happened was, the previous student who was driving before was a new driver as well. That person according to my driving instructor had stalled the car a few times, and when i stalled the car, the immobiliser kicked in and would not let me start the car. What a great first lesson.
When i got home, my whole family laughed at me and embarrassed me so much!! To this day I am known as "Car Killer Kim" in my house. But after that i was grand and now i have been driving for about 3/4 months and as my mam says "I'm flying at it". All i need to work on is my parking.
