I am 27 this year, and I just really hate and am terrified of driving and just cars in general. I freak out when someone goes over certain speeds. I'm always telling drivers that they're too close to the pavement or other vehicles.
I hate cars. I wish everyone had horses. They're at least human.
And really, have you even seen a horse run in to another horse? Of course not.
I don't like machinery. I was too scared to roller skate when I was a kid. Really. I used to walk down hill with them, on the grass, while my friends raced.
I don't do good with speed. Bicycles, skate boards, roller skates, surf boards -I stayed away from all of them as much as I could. I remember trying to get on a skate board as a kid. I put my one foot on it, and the thing moved forward and I said "No thank you" and went back to my barbies.
I can drive, but I get too anxious. Cars come too close to me and I freeze and stall and want to rather pull over to the side of the road.
This is going to sound really bad.. but I drive really well when I've had a drink. Because then I'm not scared. I once had an old Mini Morris and I drove that guy like a go-cart.
But now I have to be a grown-up and stop being scared of other cars. It will probably take me about a year to feel comfortable enough to actually drive my kids anywhere, and I will definitely be going 60km/h everywhere I go non the less.
So I'm going driving with this lady who is going to try help me with these issues.
Fancy that.
