To Drive or Not to Drive
Michelle has been taking driving lessons. Ben is scared that Michelle is not scared enough
We’re Over It: CONFIDENT DRIVING
Michelle has been consistently taking driving lessons. She didn’t get honked at during her last lesson. Huzzah, progress! Technically, Michelle has a driver’s license but has only driven a handful of times over the past twenty-five years.
The question is: When is Michelle ready to graduate from driving classes and start driving our car? Our daughter says, “Never! No way.” Ben says, “Let’s start small, like driving back from school drop-off and work our way up to driving to the grocery store.” He’s not condescending at all!
Aware of her limitations, and in the hopes of fewer cars honking at her, Michelle bought a bumper magnet for the car that says, “Please be patient. New driver.” Just yesterday, Ben saw some other driver with a similar bumper sticker and honked at them anyway! In Ben’s defense, this idiot was drifting dangerously into Ben’s lane.
Ben is not very understanding when it comes to Michelle’s wonky driving. But if Ben continues to be the main driver, Michelle won’t get enough practice to be comfortable on the road. But after every driving lesson, Michelle comes home hyped up and manic and needs hours to calm down. That doesn’t make it feel like it’s “go time!”
The last time Ben was in a car that Michelle drove was ten years ago in Los Angeles, she drove for about eight minutes, blew through three stop signs and gave Ben four heartattacks. At which point Ben screamed, “Never again!” Since escaping to the burbs, Ben has softened his stance, as he looks forward to retiring from being Michelle’s personal Uber driver.
What’s your opinion on when Michelle should pop the cherry of driving our car?
