What are some common experiences in first driving lesson stories?

One common horror story is stalling the car multiple times. It can be really embarrassing when you keep doing it in the middle of the road. Another is accidentally driving on the wrong side for a short moment due to confusion.

Well, my first driving lesson horror story was when I hit the curb really hard. I was so nervous that I misjudged the turn. The sound was awful and I thought I'd broken the car. My instructor just sighed deeply.

Feeling a sense of freedom is also common. After always having someone else in the car, being alone while driving gives a new feeling of independence. For example, you can choose your own music and drive at your own pace. You don't have to worry about what others think. Also, a lot of first - time solo drivers are overly cautious, like driving slower than normal or constantly checking their surroundings more than they usually would when there's a more experienced driver with them.

Well, in my first driving lesson, I remember being overly cautious. I was barely touching the accelerator, and the car was crawling at a snail's pace. My instructor kept joking that we could probably be overtaken by a jogger. But it was important for me to get a feel for the controls gradually. It was also really difficult to remember all the mirror checks and blind - spot checks at the same time.

A typical first - day driving horror story could be running out of gas. Maybe the new driver didn't check the fuel gauge properly or underestimated how much gas they needed for their trip. Also, getting stuck in traffic and panicking because they don't know how to handle the stop - and - go situation well. They might stall the car or be too slow to react when the traffic starts moving again. It's really nerve - wracking for new drivers. Another is having an argument with a passenger which distracts them and causes them to make a driving mistake, like swerving slightly or braking too hard.

Nervousness is a big one. Like in my case, I was so nervous that I made simple mistakes. Another common element is inexperience. Not knowing how to handle different situations properly. For example, when facing aggressive drivers.

There was this one student who was constantly asking the instructor the silliest questions during the driving lesson. For example, he asked if the car could fly if he pressed all the pedals at once. And when the instructor told him to do a three - point turn, he tried to do it in a way that made the car look like it was dancing. It was a very entertaining driving lesson for sure.

One of my first - time driving horror stories was when I was driving on a narrow mountain road. I misjudged a turn and almost went off the edge. It was terrifying. I slammed on the brakes just in time and my heart was pounding like crazy.

I heard a story where a student in a driving lesson got really confused between the accelerator and the brake. When the instructor told him to slow down, he panicked and hit the accelerator instead. Fortunately, they were in an empty parking lot. The student's face turned bright red and he couldn't stop apologizing, which made the whole situation quite funny.

Morning sickness is very common. Many women feel nauseous, especially in the morning. Fatigue is also a big part. You just feel so tired all the time as if you've run a marathon. And there are often mood swings, going from happy to sad or irritable for no obvious reason.
