DH and car driving

Congratulations arty:

Keep it up :clap .... .
Just carry a fully charged cellphone so he can call you if needed and he need not be panicking at work. (always pull over safely and only then answer calls )

Anyway weekend is coming. Drag him out and you drive while he sits nearby

 

My case is opposite to all of you. DH badly wants me to learn driving, but I don't even know to ride a cycle. :hide: And I freak out when he says driving.

I have the written test today, I hope I can clear it and I liked the idea of desi instructor, will tell DH.

 

mg:I was like you. I too don't know how to ride a bicycle. On our first drive, my DH assumed I knew it( he thought i watch him closely while he's driving)and i was driving at 5mph and even the kids in the neighborhood kept laughing..poor me:hide:.. However I cleared my written test and got my license after 2 attempts. I used to drive in small town to work even when i was 8months pregnant. After the baby, we sold our 2nd car and i stopped driving. I still dread to drive despite my license.
I don't drive when my DH is in car. He freaks out and freaks me out.:rant This summer i would take this as my challenge:cheers, as i am done with his comments.

 

Just be confident and try to go for driving on your own on roads with less traffic. With practice you will be a good driver

 

You go girl! keep it up,don't give up!

 

Same pinch,FreeSpirit20! The written test is easy..I have given it twice over a year(as my permit expired).The second time,I was literally bulldozed by HH(Hitler H) into giving the test for the permit.
I also don't know how to drive a cycle:hide: .Take my advice...DON'T drive with your H until you are super confident. I regret till date!

 

:rotfl..same here!

All the best:thumbsup

 

:hatsoffI have been driving for 12 years now, my husband still says i don't know how to drive, where i have driven more than 400 miles alone at the time of vacation to meet friends.
Now when he make a comment about not stopping fully, not looking left right or center or blah blah blah.. i say... "This is not Indian government, You are not Sonia Gandhi or I'm not ManMohan Singh.. I will drive the way I know and i like, You don't need to be a side seat Driver.

 

Thanks racr and lathangi. I gave the written test last year in June, cleared in 3 rd attempt and DH taught me few times but I was nervous every time and our visa also got expired in the mean time, so I could not continue. I went to give the written test again last week and was again nervous but thankfully they simply extended the learners permit without an exam. ;-)

It expires in 4 months and DH said he will call an instructor to teach driving, I hope we find some desi one, anyway there is no other go as DH said we will go on long road trips only after I learn driving.
