Everyone, get off the road NOW

This morning my dad says, "We're going to get your driver's permit today". I HATE driving, and I'm pretty sure everyone else hates the idea of me driving. Tsuki, who can't even sit down without hurting something, behind the wheel is NOT a good idea.

And yet, I said, "Well... okay." I didn't study for it or anything, but hey, I've never studied for a test in my life. And, I kind of hope I fail. I've gotten further using my own two feet and resources than most people have gotten in their entire lives. I don't need to drive.

Well, I'll be part of the driving world soon. Son of a bitch....

Pfft, like that makes a difference. In time, I will have successfully careened my car into every valuable possession you own.

I'm independent enough as it is. I don't wanna drive. *pouts in corner*

I'm not going to make it past the age of 30. Thanks, Dad....

Some driving advice:

- If the light is yellow, you can still make it.

- Let the other guy worry about your blind spot.

- It isn't speeding if there isn't a cop to catch you.

- 10 points for the old lady with grocery bag if the eggs don't crack.

You forgot that the blind guy can wait, parking on curbs leaves more room for the road, and I ALWAYS have the right of way/

I'm 27 and I just got my regular driver's license. I would go without but the public transportation here is horrible and riding my bicycle makes me fear for my life.

So stay off the sidewalks I'm getting a car soon.

It takes time to get used to it Tsuki and just because you have a permit doesn't mean you have to get a car or your regular license.

Heeheehee. Five bucks says that we'll end up crashing into each other. I could be in the Arctic, and I still guarantee I'll end up hitting you.

Hey, that's right. I don't have to get my license.... Sweet!

I looooooooove driving. Just imagine that life is your own personal NASCAR race. Trading paint is great fun.

Do you have any idea how many I'm going to end up unintentionally killing? Murder never bothered me much, but it has to be intentional. I'll be killing everything I see!

I didn't want to drive either. You'll be fine.

Why can't I just walk though? Or take the bus? Or mooch?

Driving is ruining my goal of being a bum.

Update-

I took the test, and I passed. I didn't study for it, and yet I passed. What the hell type of country is going to let me learn to drive? Damn it all!

Why would I want to write about Haggis?

I'm going to try my hand at humor in the very near future. Let's hope I'm decent at it .

When my daughter was little, we quizzed her from her baby seat, "Beth, what does the red light mean?"
She said, "It means Stop."
"What does the Green light mean?"
She wiggled in her seat. "It means Go."
"And what does the Yellow light mean?"
She giggled. "It means Go Faster, Daddy!"

Needless to say, my daughter will be eighteen in May and she still doesn't have her license. I bought her the book to study a year ago.

I didn't get my license until I was 24, and my brother is now 47 and still doesn't have his.

Heeheehee. Mom and Dad used to quiz me in the car, too. Whenever Mom asked, I knew to go by the "real" laws. Whenever Dad quizzed me, I could go by Dad's fun "laws". Yellow light meant floor it, an intersection jam meant drive on the curb, cops behind you meant smile real big and put on your seat belt, driving by a semitruck meant waving your arms until you hear their big horn, and any reason you have to flick someone off was completely justified.

I was originally hoping not to start driving until at least age 20 (hate hate hate hate hate!) but Dad tricked me into it. Now, he's going to force me to drive. I don't want to. I don't, I don't, I dont!!!

Hey, if you can manage to make a wrong turn across a few thousand miles of Pacific Ocean to bump into me, I'll... I guess I'll buy you lunch.

Hell yes! Lunch! If I end up by the Pacific Ocean, I'll be parched, hungry, and, thanks to gas inflation, broke!
