The Worst Driver Ever

Just thinking to write this after seeing a status posted by a friend of mine, mentioning something about her driving. Well, I come to think about my experience in driving.

I've got my driving license already on December, despite my lack of experience in driving. Due to that statement, my friends assumed that I got it illegally (in Indonesia, there's a term called "SIM nembak", or a driving license achieved illegally by getting the license instead immediately without going through any tests). Yet I'm still not allowed to drive by myself even if in a distance as close as PIM to my house. My sense of awareness and distance are still lacking, obviously...

About the test, yes, I did go through a test. Not many. Just one, and that's a theory one that talks about "What would you do if a car passes next to yours..." that kind of thing. But I didn't go through any driving tests, because (this is gonna you how smart I am *cheekily*). I signed up for the whole test through a driving school that I used to learn driving. Perhaps the test's staff believes that the students won't make any mistakes in driving since they've already passed their driving lesson. So they gave us a go. I was quite surprised myself after discovering that there would be no driving tests, since driving tests are somehow the most feared test in the whole. People feared they wouldn't pass it for not being able to drive the car climbing up a small slope.

Anyway, I'm the worst driver yet. One time I drove by myself. Like I mentioned before, I lacked of ability to control the distance of the car and the nearest object of it. So I drove and suddenly heard a 'thud' on the rearview mirror.

Guess what...

I just hit someone with the rearview mirror.

If you were me, possibly you would get off the car and apologize to the person, or the person would scream at you, curse at you, yelling "fuck you", and...maybe demanded you to get off the car if you resisted. Or maybe if I did that outside the country, I'd get a middle finger instead.

But instead, I did something that you'd say. "You shouldn't have done that. That's not appropriate.". What I did was opening up the car window, looked at the person who I just hit behind me, with the tires still rolling, and said.

"SORRY."

You say, a simple sorry wouldn't be enough, right?

At least I did apologize (ok, I'm being an asshole right now)
