I just got my first car yesterday, however i don't how to drive yet.
Great thing I have a big brother who is here to teach me how to. Yesterday, he thought me the basics like the clutch, break and accelerator. He also taught me how to change gears.
Today is my first day to try driving. My first try was horrible. I forgot to make sure that the gear on neutral and to release the hand break. hahaha. Did not get anywhere. Well, forgive me please, it my first day. So, I tried again after a few lessons from my brother. I made sure the gear is in neutral and that i release the hand break. Alright, I am ready to go. And the car run slowly until... BLOG...
The bottom part of the car hit a humps in front of our house. It did move though. The car ran a few houses after that however we have to stop because we dont want to get to far. Now it is time to try running in reverse. So I change gears, step on the clutch, release it slowly as I step on the accelerator. Then my brother shouted, "Breaks!!!"
We were moving backwards however I was not looking on our back. I was so focused on making sure that the car will move without knowing that i was about to hit a van. In my panic I released the clutch and step on the breaks. The car stopped. And so is the engine. The van passed us with an upset driver. So my brother decided to drive the car back to our house and park it there.
When we got down we saw the damage on the car when it hit the humps. My brother said "Let's just do this tommorow... We will resume the lessons after we make sure that the car is not low anymore". Hehehe. What a day. He said it will be ready by tommorow afternoon. Good thing it is my last day of work. I can now focus on my driving lessons. For now, It is break time. Need to get some rest for work tommorow.
