Graduation day!

Yes! the day has come... long awaited.. the most auspicious day in the history of my car learning! Its time to obliterate the 'L' board from my car!

On this important day, I feel honored to reveal the pros and cons of having a 'L' board..(this list has been made after significant amount of research and experience!!)

Pros: 1. When its your mistake, you can always point to 'L' board with an innocent smile on your face... they will consider it :)

(Caution:This doesnt apply when you go and bang into someone's car!)

2. In the traffic signal, when they see 'L' board they stop a few inches away giving you enough space!

Cons: 1. Even if its the other person's mistake, you have to take the blame coz u  have put 'L' board

2. Noone comes to ur rescue as they are unsure of who was wrong! Eventually they end up taking the other party side just coz of 'L' board..

3. If you are a lady driver and 'L' board too.. be ready to face the world!

Today, as usual, i was on my way to office.. while taking a left turn i promptly honked twice.. showed the indication.. I got no response from the other side.. as i was maneuring my steering wheel to take the turn, a speeding police jeep came right in front of me from the other side... stalled just few inches away abruptly.. I was in the process of thanking all gods for not banging into the jeep.. but it dint end there, the driver started pointing at me looking at the L board! i was so annoyed... i was almost burning with fury.. i wanted to belt him badly..  but the word "Police" helped me regain my calmness.. i couldnt avoid some words though which came flying instantaneously... thats when i decided "Its time... " :-)

Car driving -- The bizarre moments

If you are guessing its about car learning experience in a driving school you are wrong!!! Its well ahead of all those things...

Today, in the first place, i dont remember what made me decide to go to office in car.. one of my friend even warned me that there is hell lot of traffic.. but i was unfazed.. I told her i would take the shortcut and il be just fine.. never realized what was awaiting me on the road!!!

When i left my place i was so excited.. I drove so smoothly.. not even a jerk.. uh uh.. not the slightest one also.. changed the gear regularly(when ppl saw me driving one advice was sure shot -- Change the gears!!!). I was feeling good.. In background was the song "Its My Life".. what a perfect song.. "It is now or never".. I was humming it all the way before i hit the traffic.. after that i dont exactly remember what song went on in the background i was only concentrating on changing the gears and trying to make sure that i wont bang into someone's car!!

What a welcome it was!!! It seemed as though every Banglorean was on road to welcome me for the new car community. As planned i took the shortcut route till silkboard signal to avoid some traffic.. but fate dint spare me.. As i was taking left turn i could see so many people staring at me as they crossed.. I was miffed and gave back a cold stare.. as i starting moving i could feel some friction from the other side of the car!! I was bloody too close to the footpath.. all those stares made sense then :) the thought of brand new car getting scratched the very first day of driving made me feel miserable (though only for few moments)

I dont know how many people cursed me on road when i couldnt control my car going back.. when it abruptly stopped in the middle of the road.. I was sweating in the car even though AC was on.. when i saw EGL the first thing on my list was to relax.. it was very relieving to get out of car!!

P.S: The very first thing that i did going home was to put 'L' Board :P
