My first driving lesson

Ron says he wants me to learn to drive in case of an emergency. I tell him if I do drive there will be an emergency. The driving is all backwards. They drive on the left side of the road. Can you imagine how scary that is to see a car coming at you from the right side of the street. Well, let me tell you from experience. It is SCARY. It has been 3 weeks and I haven't dared to drive yet. Oh, it frightens me so much. I just can't. I'm not even a very good rider let alone to be a driver.
On Monday Sept 19th I thought we were to head out to go traveling when Ron made me get into the drivers seat. NOOOOOOOO! I can't do it.

Ok, Ok, So I got in the drivers seat and I drove. I can now say that I drove in Australia. Even if it was only forward and backwards in our driveway. I mean we have a long driveway. Well maybe only 1/4 the length of our Rexburg driveway, but I drove it. I came to the edge of the driveway just before turning onto the the road and turned on the turning signal. Just to figure out which way to flip the turning signal that is on the right side of the steering wheel is a great accomplishment.

I then backed up into our little area next to our back door. I drove back and forth 5 times. Ron's orders. I have to admit that this little car of ours does seem solid and drives nice (in the driveway). I hope to keep it that way ( I mean solid and drives nice) There I did it. That counts doesn’t it? I drove in Australia.

Yippy for me,
