Personal community for jojopeanut. Hi!
I drove for the first time today!
For the most part it was ignoring the gas pedal and just steering while the car rolled with the brake off. But, I didn't kill anyone, dent anything, or even noticeably crush plants.




Woo, that's a good start! I assume it was an automatic?
Ohhh yes. I don't know if my parents have bought a manual since I was born. I know that it involves additional ~stuff~ but I've never had an opportunity to closely observe someone driving one.
Yeah manuals are complex, I learnt in one but haven't driven manual since my driving test nearly 11 years ago. I prefer driving automatic, so much less stressful, though manuals are more common here.
Yeah, it's the type of thing I would probably learn how to drive eventually just in case, but for the first day there's no point in distracting me with talk of the clutch.
