If you didn't already know this, I am a teenager. I am around the age where I have begun Drivers Ed.

To me, this is the scariest thing in the world. Knowing that I will be in control of a giant metal device that is going 30 miles per hour around other metal devices who are going the same speed is terrifying.

I'm not on the road yet, but today I went to class where we watched videos about people dying because they were stupid on the road. The fake blood and acting was top notch (note the sarcasm). Since they are standard for my state, I am forced to endure these creepy videos make somewhere in the early 90's.

I also enjoyed the story about how our driving instructor said he was a different race on his motorcycling license. I just put white because I forgot how to spell Caucasian. Not only that, but they asked for everyone's height, and I said I was an inch shorter. Arrest me for not wanting to seem like a total giant!

Mermaid1211 gave me some words of encouragement about driving, so she's my dedication. Does anyone have any driving stories they would like to share?

Lots of Love!
