Okay yesterday was my first driving lesson. My mom friend was the person who taught me. I have no experience what so ever. I never played around with a steering wheel. I figure out my self where are the turn signals. I made it clear to the guy also that I have no experience.
What the man did...okay he asks me to show him the break, pedal, and put the car on drive. I was like okay. Aren't we going to practice on the parking lot first? But no, he let me on the road. I was driving at 20mph on a 40mph street. People were like honking, cursing, and cutting me. He made me drove from 3:30 to 4:30 with the emergency light on the whole time. There was hella traffic. I was scared. I can't believe he just hand me the car and said drive without telling me anything. He took control of the steering wheel most of the time but still...I could have cause some serious accidents. I got home and told my dad that I don't think he ever taught anyone how to drive before and told him where that man led me to. He made me drove pretty far and made me to right and left turns. I just couldn't do it so he steer for me while I step on the gas and break. I want to get a different instructor now and I don't care about the money we have to pay up front from that man anymore. I was so scared.
Then next day lesson was okay. He took me out at 12pm and we came back at 1pm. The street weren't as busy and we didn't go too far away. I got better. I try my best to drive at the speed limit. I did my own right turns now. He try to make me do left turn but I just couldn't pull myself to do it so we were stuck on the intersection for a long time.
So anyone...please give me some tips to being a better driver and tell me if I should drop this guy and go to a professional. Thanks. I don't think I'll learn anything. I didn't even adjust the mirrors so I couldn't see anything behind. He never taught me to do left or right turns and expect me to do it. The only instruction I got from him was to keep my car straight, don't move my heels only my toes, use only one foot, don't swerve to hard, and don't stomp on the break. I fear I might get into an accident.
Thanks!
