The Basics of Driving
This picture reminds me of my very first car accident. My sister was driving. She walked up to my new car and begged me to let her drive. My sister has known me her entire life. In that time she has figured out the keys to making me agree to stupid things. I took one look at her smile and agreed to let her drive. She hopped into the car gleefully whilst I moved to the passenger seat. All was well for the first 30 seconds as she eased down the road smoothly moving in an even straight line. And then another car popped out in front of us blocking our path.
She stunned me by moving faster towards it.“Stop it. Turn!” I yelled reaching for the steering.
We ploughed head first into the car.Thirty minutes later I sat beside my sister staring at my damaged fender.“I thought you said you could drive” I muttered at her.
“I can drive.” She snapped. “I just don’t know how to turn.”
