Hello again. The following is a completly true story of when I went to drivers ed (last july)

The drivers ed was at the local school.
Well Me being home-schooled in all, Of course I didnt have ANY thing in common with the local punks. These idiots didnt even like video games!!! All they ever had on their brains it seemed was their porn collections they had at home. Well this one kid, Rusty was his name (I think his brain was a little rusty) just didnt like me for some stupid reason or other, so he decided to pick on me. My teacher had given all his students a slip telling the rules (no fighting ETC) And I didnt want to bite and fight this moron. I should probably explain that everybody had a partner, Luckily my partner was my girlfriend. Well anyway Rusty tried to choke me one day. Not to sneeky (it was right in front of everybody except of course the teachers in the gym) That was the day we were issued our permits. The really funny part, sad I suppose, was the next day Rusty and his two friends Joe and Kenny were killed in a car crash when the car they were driving was hit by a Semi. :( Of course everybody though that it was a bad omen and that anybody who tried to do harm to me, would end up mysteriously dead, so I didnt have too much trouble after that. Well, Im not really like other kids my age. One thing is the music I love. This includes Honky tonk, Classical, Jazz, rag, disco, and acouple other not so popular types of music.Well where I live theres a radio station called NPR (national Public radio) and has only these types of music. BTW my girlfriend also likes these types of music (we both play the piano and these types of songs). Well Scott (our teacher) always had the radio going when we were in the van (it was often some heavy metal crap that I guess he thought the punks would like). Well after this fortune,misfortune I decided to get braver, so one time I asked if I could change the station to my favorite station, He reluctatly agreed. I switched it over to NPR in a smooth tap of the button, and cool jazz music filled the speakers. I expected him to say something like, " You listen to this?" but he said nothing. I looked out of the corner of my eye, and I seen a kind of startled look on his face. After about 5 miles of silence, he spoke up and admited that it was actually his fav radio station too. So every time after that NPR was always on when It was mine and my GFs turn to drive. :)
Itâ€˜s-a me, Marionut#1!

Lizard Dude's Driver's Ed Story
----------------------------------------
I got pulled over my first time out of the school parking lot. My instructor said, "Hmm, this has never happened to me before..." I calmly pulled over and soon learned that someone had left the trunk slightly ajar and the cop stopped us to tell me that so it didn't pop open and distract me into hitting a semi or something. Anyway, I've never been pulled over or ticketed in *real* driving life so it was just a fun experience. And makes a good conversation starter.

"Hey! I got pulled over in driver's ed!"
"Really? Tell me about it!"

I don't know why I illustrated the conversation. Must be late...

Sounds a lot like me. Well, except when I got pulled over, it wasn't in driver's ed.

- My first time driving was on my way to driver's ed, actually. I wasn't so great at it, to say the least. I was swirving all over the road, and turning was beyond me. But, I kept going. I could see the school, and boy, was that a relief. However, a cop car suddenly turned it's lights on are so, I pulled over. It turns out, he'd gotten a call about a car that was "all over the road." Well, he asked if I had anything to drink, and I just explained I was a lousy driver. And that was that. Thank God I didn't get a ticket, that would have been terrible. XD

Ah well, since then though, I've had no troubles.

Weird! Another freaky coinsidence! I was JUST thinking about posting a driver's ed experience topic in the forums, and, lo and behold!--someone just did!

I have a funny story, too.
Heheh...guess what happened to ME in driver's ed? I blew out a TIRE!! Now I have the reputation of looking loke a bad driver.
Hehehe...Very freaky and humiliating at the time, but now it's funny. Of course, the blowout wasn't entirely my fault. The teacher TOLD me to speed up, and I saw a turn coming up. I was like, "What?!" but listened to him anyway, for I assumed he knew what he was telling me. As I rounded the corner (hmm..."rounded" isn't the right word :) ), he frantically yelled at me to SLOW DOWN!! But it was too late; I hit the curb. TIRE BLOWOUT! Suffice it to say, my partner and I spent the rest of the lesson learning how to change a tire. lol. Of course the other kid drove the rest of the way home. :)

To make matters worse, (this happened last May, BTW), my friend got the same teacher I had and mentioned "her friend had a tire blowout."
As luck would have it, my COUSIN just finished driver's ed and asked her driving teacher what the worst driving experience he'd had with a d-ed student. He said, "there was this one girl who blew out a tire." My cousin responded, "I think that was my cousin!"

D'oh! One mistake and it goes down in D-ed history! @_@

Bet ya didnt know I was a stupid pathetic biotch did ya?

Heck I also saw a couple of funny things while I was driving that Windstar...I can remember that one time during rush hour there was about 25 semis lined up at a T road, all wanting to turn left. The way it was, there was a weigh station off to the left to. So this guy in a car behind ALL of these semis gets brave and, swerves into the left lane, through the weigh station and infront of the first semi, barely missing it. a couple minutes later a cop car was seen doing the same thing with lights flashing.... Oh did I mention that we all watched this while we were gassing up at the gas station? Then this next story was after I was out of D ED. I was driving my mom of all people, to a nearby town. Now you should know that Mom was very nervous about me driving (donâ€™t ask me, Iâ€™m not that bad of driver as this story will prove)Well theres this very steep hill you have to climb and then go down through a valley and then up another steep hill, then around a dead mans curve, and at the time through a construction site. Well half way up this hill we see this van parked in the left lane. About all we could see of it was the front of the van. Then just as I make it to the top of the hill, I can see what the drivers doing. He has his hand out the window, signaling me to stop/slowdown. Course by the time I see it Im right on top of him. Then I look down into this valley,and I see this semi pulling a trailer with... guess what.... A HOUSE that took up the whole hwy.... i mean this thing isnt even a quarter of a mile away from me, and Im driving a ford explorer, fully loaded with garbage and propane bottles!!! Not to mention that Im goin 70 miles an hour! We laugh at it now, but at the time it was really scary. Mom started yelling SLOW! SLOW! SLOW! and I inturn put the brake pedal to the floor. Man I still wonder today how I ever got that thing stopped and pulled over to the side of the road with out loosing control or ending up as a permanent resident of someone elses house.... Oh ya now I get to the Ironic part, throughout the whole thing the disco hit "Stayin' Alive" was playing.....well at least it wasnt "Disco Inferno" especially on one of the "Burn baby burn" parts

I love your writing style, Marionut#1.
It makes me laugh for some reason.

Anyways: There was the time in Driver's Ed where I proved my instructor wrong. Twice. In about 5 minutes. (I'm always good at proving people wrong.)

At an intersection with a red light, I noticed that the red light was broken, and so there was merely a flashing red, so it acted as a Stop sign. I stopped, waited for everyone to go, and went, but then the instructor hit the brake and asked me why I was going on a red light. I then had to explain to him that it was merely a FLASHING red, and so it was a sotp sign. After this, he saw the light and let me go.

About half a block later, I stopped the car so we could fix a minor problem in the car's transmission. The instructor opened the hood, and ... couldn't figure out where the transmission was. He ruled out everything else, got the transmission fluid... and then decided that the thing he THOUGHT was the transmission wasn't ... because the fluid inside the transmission was a different color than the fluid in the bottle of transmission fluid. I then explained that chemical reactions could change the color of the fluid while driving. He changed the fluid and I drove off afterwards. The car had no more transmission problems.

And I wound up getting a B for that drive. (My highest grade on a drive in my whole time taking the course. I got a C and 4 B-s, and the B.) I'm only a decent driver... not that great, actually. But I never popped a tire. :P

Congratulations! You have just been blessed by the wisdom of Steve.

Wow, I was never specifically graded on driving. Only the class stuff had a grade and the driving was more like "have fun/don't die while learning."

Anyway, you should have recieved an "A" for driving related knowledge on that drive.

Oh I forgot to mention, (this'll probably grind into ya Sappira:) )that what caused the crash that killed Rusty and his friends was caused by a blown tire. Apparently as the whole class later heard, they were speeding (going about 90) When their left front tire blew and the car swerved in the other lane, hard. They probably would have lived if the Semi wouldnt have been there.......but then again maybe not

Man, your easily disturbed Lizard Dude. Personally Im glad they're gone. It just means that some more evil people dont inhabit this world anymore. :) (smiley face intentionally added to disturb Lizard Dude heh heh)

Still, that's sad that people died, whether you liked them or not.

Oh, one good thing, though, about my driving. I ALWAYS go the speed limit...heheheh...if not, I go UNDER it slightly. In fact whenever I've driven, the other drivers around me seem to get MAD at me! I said aloud to my dad once, directed at the other cars, "Excuse ME for following the law!"
Heheheh...I'm a very cautious driver. So cautious (heh, *lazy*'s more the right word :) ) that I'd rather have a chauffer (sic?) *cough*Mom*cough*! It's not like I go anywhere, anyway. :)

I didnt say that it wasnt sad, I was only looking on the bright side, that they will never hurt anyone again. They must have hurt quite a few people to get such a punishment. If I would have mentioned the grueling details about how the car was nothing but a burnt pancake by the time the whole thing was through and they didnt find to much left by the time the officials arrived I thought it might sicken people, (and disturb Lizard Dude further :P)

Man do we have alot in common Sappira...Thats exactly the way I drive (heh after seeing such a horrendous accident who wouldnt)
