So my efforts at learning to drive have hit a small snag, mostly due to me hitting a large truck.
I was with my dear friend Rob last night. We were going to Best Buy. I was driving. I parked the car, and was unsatisfied with how it was sitting. So I backed up and slowly drifted into a better position. Then I hit the brake, or rather, the accelerator.
*crunch*
It was a low-speed collision with the large truck in front of us. It didn’t do any damage to the body of the truck or the car, though there was some fluid leaking from the car (later determined to be from a hydrolic motor mount, whatever that is).
Anyhow, Rob left a note for the truck owner, and hasn’t heard back from him/her, so presumably all is well there. We were both pretty rattled and neither of us slept well last night.
Hopefully we’ll be able to continue with the lessons soon, but if we don’t, well, that’s ok. I don’t need more surprises like last night!
