My first Car drive...Alone

It’s been some time since I got my DL but I never got a chance to drive all alone as I was always accompanied by some one or the other screaming drive like that, put break, change gear bla bla..
Finally the day came where I got a chance to drive all alone. Believe me it was really fun!! I decided two days before that I will take car to office on 21st April 2010(No specific reason as such) I had asked my husband to keep the car ready filling the petrol and checking other things. Morning I was bit nervous thinking of driving all alone in Bangalore traffic but I dint wanted to take back my step anyway.

So morning I took the key and then my husband announced that I need to fill the petrol on the way I was little irrigated as I was first of all nervous driving and on top of that I need to go to Petrol bunk and fill the gas and go..Hmm but anyway I took the key and started the car... Brrrrummm… Bruum... and before I leave the clutch and raise the accelerator car stopped, my face turned pale, again tried.. Nooo. finally 3rd time I started without any problem and just went ahead proudly.

In the tension to get the right road along with driving, I dint know how I was changing the gear and putting the accelerator, whoever driving behind me would have definitely be scolding me as I was really driving very bad and I was laughing at myself. I went to petrol bunk and filled the gas and started towards the office luckily no issues in doing this.

Finally I reached office and there comes another issue of parking!! Actually there was lot of space to park, but there was little slope, so when I tried to park, car was coming back, I tried taking reverse..(don’t know how much the gear would have scolded me if it had life :P) finally I left lot of space in between and parked, somehow, immediately security came and asked me to straighten the car little more, I told him this is all I cannot do anything more..I think he understood and he just didn’t say anything. There was another guy waiting for me to park, I don’t know what he was feeling, finally after I parked he filled the gap I left between the cars by parking his car in place properly..
I was excited …. I called and told everyone about my adventure, all my family members were very happy to know that I drove safely,

To my bad luck, that day it was raining so heavily that I could not leave early, finally I started towards my home only to realize that they have closed the normal way due to heavy rainfall.. I was really horrified as I dint know any other way other than that normal route which I usually go. I asked the security, he blabbered something and asked me to take it quickly as traffic was piling up, I started towards the new road, with so many twist and turns in a small and narrow way asking many people on the way…
By then it was totally dark and I was really not able to see the road especially in the university campus, I started thinking why is this so dark!!!...then only I realized in all these tension I totally forgot that I am running the car without head light!!!...then I turned some knob as I never gave concentration, when my husband was telling about all these things..Hmmmm finally by the time I reached home I was totally exhausted, But I was very proud and happy that now I could drive on my own...

Well if you also have something stupid or adventurous while driving share it :)
