    finally got drive licence

    after almost half a year I've finally got my drive licence. Looking back these time I find it was really a hard time, but still many funny things. I don't want to remind the hard ones but want to share some funny moments with you.
    1. before I touched the car for the first time(although I've drove my dad's car long time ago, but it doesn't count), I've asked many ppls about the drive things, like how to drive, how to react when there were an accedent or something like that. and without practice it seems always easier as the reality. so by the fist praxis course, the teacher just allowed me to hold the steering wheel and not to use the pedals, a great gap between the ideality and reality came out. I was soooooo depressed in that course, and the teacher seemed to know my feeling, so he ask me to try to start the car in a fueling station, I couldn't control the car, and let it rushed directly to the wall a couple of meters in front of me. after that, I gave up: okay, I still got a lot of things to learn before I really can.
    2. I didn't know that the height of the steering wheel of my training car(a vw golf 5) is adjustable, even I do know that it is able to adjust it in dad's, mom's, bro's or any one else's cars. So one time I found the steering wheel not so suitable to me, I just thought my seat might be too high, never thought it was because of the steering wheel itself. so I decided to set my seat very low. my behavior amazed my teacher of course, but he said nothing at first. this kind of seat-height made me feel very bad during the drive. after I had made the motor stalled several times, my teacher couldn't help to ask me what was wrong with me: first to set the seat so low and let the motor stall many times. just in that moment I started to realise that the steering wheel was just the same as other cars', their height are adjustable.
    3. as all of us know, there are blind spots behind cars. it is always necessary to turning our heads to check it before wir change the tracks. it is a good habit, so I always like to remember it and do it at the right time, though sometimes I still forgot it. so one day before the drive class, I recite some rules and force myself to try to do them. but that day I overdid the shoulder view with turning my head around for almost 180°. my teacher laughed out and told me: there are mirrors for the backward view, it is not necessary to turn your head that way, it will cause pain and headache.
    4. after I became drive better, my concentration was no longer like before, so one day during stop for a red traffic light, he told me to turn left after this cross. but the same time, a pretty girl just walked across the road, and I just watched her walk by until she was gone. after that I asked my teacher: you meant turn right, right? he became mopey and asked: did you just ignore me with watching that pretty girl? it was just not right, and if this happens in the exam, you will fail!!!
