So today I went to the D.M.V and got my permit for the second time. it expired the last time. and I get back out to the car and my waiting mother and ask if I can drive, after proving that yes in fact I do have a valid learners permit, she proceeds to say "god I knew I was going to hate today". So I shrug off the comment and get behind the wheel. As I'm back out of the space, not even using the gas, she makes the comment "you know if you kill someone, you're permit is void." Now i was being good and watching for people, and other cars, but that comment just stung so I stayed as silent as I could till we got home and she asked how I did, after taking me the back rounds the whole time. I answered "I think I did pretty well" I didn't hit anyone, or come close to it, I was 5 under the speed limit or at it the whole time. Well she freaks and starts saying "you make poor judgment and were driving in an area you don't know, and haven't been behind the wheel of a car, any car, in almost a year. Now I will ask you again, how do you think you did?" My answer : "For not being behind the wheel of a car I think I did pretty damn good. I didn't break any laws, I didn't hit anyone or thing, and I was at speed or below the whole trip."
She repeats herself saying I "make poor judgment calls" and then proceeds to tell me "a tester wouldn't have passed you". Now I'm angry at this point because she wont tell me were I make those poor calls but she will belittle my driving with that comment. so I just ask "is there anything else or can I go up-stairs now?"
So yeah I get my permit and I feel like shit. I don't think I will be trying for my license again...hell I don't even think I will be driving a car again. I'm gonna let my permit expire and then just get a state id and be done with it. I'm tired of feeling like shit every time I get behind the wheel, the so called freedom it gives isn't worth the humiliation and degradation I have to deal with every time.
