Do you generally feel comfortable behind the wheel? Is there anything in particular you're worried about?

i'm able to stop completely at stop signs (rather than the roll thing) if i want to, it's just kind of a drag when i have to get to work, you know? it's that kind of stuff that my dad says i'll get failed on, since he's always my licensed driver. so i can do all the right things, as far as i know, in front of a tester, i just don't feel like doing it all the time if i'm not being tested haha. or watched by a cop. and hi do i know you?

Hello. Alas, you do not know me. I stumbled here somewhat randomly, but you seem rather interesting, so I thought I would say hi! I'd love to be added, but that's totally up to you.

Anyway, in my experience, you don't have too, too much to worry about; however, failing to completely stop is a big no-no. Yes, that's definitely asking to be failed.

As long as you feel fairly comfortable, what you need to remember is that you're not trying to impress anyone so as much as simply not make any major mistakes. In this case "slow and steady wins the race." They won't have you drive too far nor do anything too complicated, so what you need to remember is to do the little things like stop completely, signal, look both ways and make gracious lane changes. As long as you can do that, it really shouldn't be too, too bad.

Just drive as if you think a cop is watching you. :)

good point. then again i usually figure that if i get pulled over i'll just flirt say that i'm a student driver and show him my permit. dunno that that'd work too well. anyway, back to you. how'd you stumble here?

Back to you! gfdgdxz October 2 2007, 05:15:08 UTC
Well, you're the one who said you would drive better if you knew you were "watched by a cop." That's why I used that hypothetical. :P

> how'd you stumble here?

I am incessantly looking for interesting people. Unfortunately, that's usually more exception than rule, so I find myself forever searching. I saw you in answers_on_sex. You're very informative and equally fetching. And you seem rather down to earth. I generally tend to be picky, but find myself remaining intrigued. So that's mostly the long and short of it.

Do you now? gfdgdxz October 2 2007, 05:40:19 UTC
Seriously? I never hold back, but I do tend to be a bit shy. *deep breath*

Well, let's see... for starters I think you're super pretty. Omg. You are drop-dead gorgeous. I was actually a bit nervous just to say hello, and I'm pleased that I get the chance to talk to you.

You seem to have a wealth of knowledge at times and at the same time seem perfectly comfortable posing questions. It's a healthy balance.

As for remaining intrigued, it's too often the case that a person can say something completely unfounded that prompts me to lose any and all future interest or curiosity wholesale. Rude and stupid comments greatly have that effect with me. However, since I've not seen any, then I continue to find you interesting.

haha wow... that's really flattering. thank you! so what made you decide to look at my journal specifically? i mean, there are about 1000 members of that community (i believe). any specific entry or comment? just curious. and also, i know this might sound silly but seeing as how neither your icon or your username are very descriptive it's hard to tell... are you male or female? hell, what's your name? i think i'll add you. and no need to be shy with me. i'm pretty open to honest questions and comments (as long as you're not taking a stab at me and hiding it as "being honest").
