Reply #13: Yeah, it was pretty bad. [View All]

I did okay the first hour, but when I got back in later, I couldn't feel for anything at all. It doesn't help that I was so nervous, and my teacher really pushes us pretty hard. I drove around Portland a lot and that was okay--nice narrow streets. I drove from SMCC back to the Mall by way of Cape Elizabeth and Scarborough, and that was also okay since there aren't a lot of people. It was even raining when I drove, and it was fine! But driving on Route 1 and having to make all these sudden turns and driving AROUND THE MALL on a Saturday when fucking everyone is out while in my second hour of driving--that was hell. Plus some people were just rude and nasty when they saw that it was a driver's ed car, and they hollered and honked and some morons tailgated the car for a while. I would have given them the finger but that would have sent me into a ditch, or so it felt like.
