Your Transport Tales

I have decided that i am not meant to be a driver ,i learned to drive many many years ago but everytime i went to sit my test something happened to stop me,my first driving instructor was a tyrant who was of the old school do as he says not as he does, so you can imagine how that was, my second driving instructor was one that talked so much he gave me instructions to late then said oh never mind you will get it right , i thought not with you i won`t,driving schools are good yes if you get a good driving instructor but not so if you do not.I never sat the theory test as it was a long time ago i started learning to drive, so all that is attached to driving now was not then.The very first time i went out with my driving instructor he was busy saying we will do things like emergency stops, three point turns,and so on, but i had just got going in his car when a little boy ran right out in front of me so learned that one ,his brakes worked well, two that i could do the stop perfectly.I was quite proud of myself that i did not hurt the little one and also relieved that i did not crash.I Just got out made sure he was alright looked for his parents, told them what happened then was on my way again .My very first instructor told me about the car and how it works and to get to know your car well,then he said always remember it is a killing machine.I thought oh my goodness why is my driving instructor telling me this now i am only learning to drive, but after a while i thought yes it is a killing machine in the hands of someone who has no road sense or drives to fast in built up areas.I am and have been for years happy to travel on public transport.We can see more of the country side that way,you can also meet a lot of very nice people,or even talk to a senior citizen who may have just come out for a chat .That may have been the only human contact they had that day.So i think i will just be a non driver for good.The roads are so busy now anyway, they do not need more.
