Easy asf. But then again I learned many of the rules at an early age cause I wanted to be a cop. Little did I know as a little black boy.

It was a bit scary for me too, but what was even scarier was teaching my wife to drive after she got her learner's permit. There was a lot of yelling and a lot of crying.

 

[rand anon]

I only get a little nervous sometimes when merging onto the freeway

Grow some balls and learn to control your fears and stress

I didn’t really drive a car THAT much when I started driving, I rode a motorcycle. and it was a little scary to drive on the highway at first, but you get used to it

driving a car feels slower/less mobile though since things like turning, accelerating/decelerating, etc take more time and you now have to give a wider berth
on a motorcycle I can turn on a dime and accelerate a lotfaster

Never rode a bike in my life, don't plan on doing that too

The first time I almost caused a grandpa to have a heart attack, when I nearly drove onto the pavement full gas. He just stood there in shock, accepting his fate.

 

[Dementor_Demeanor]

when I nearly drove onto the pavement full gas.

I'm not rather good at controlling the pressure on the accelerator nor the brakes.

I either get unsmooth movement excessively ( fast-slow-fast-slow wtc )

I also find myself constantly micro adjusting the wheel out of fear for slowly drifting out of the lane.

My first time though, I'm sure it'll get better

You will get better I thought I was getting better but my driving instructor keeps shit talking me that I'm making mistakes

not checking the mirror on a round about or some other shit

Yeah, it takes a bit of time to adjust, but eventually, everything just becomes second nature.

me when I realise going 30mph and then going into gear 1 isn’t a good idea (exaggeration but you get my point)

Hills are the worst.

Tell me about it…

Getting the bite on them can be a hassle too, especially as I’m someone who sucks on the bite kek

The best way is to either give it good gas while releasing the clutch gradually or use the handbrake method: apply gas, release the handbrake, and slowly let go of the clutch.

I use either depending on the situation really, my main issue is I tend to be a bit too hard on the clutch after I find the bite

You mean you release it to fast?

 

[Kaari]

After I find the bite I press the clutch slightly too much down so when I get the bite I lose it again lol

Once you find the bite point, keep your foot steady on the clutch without pressing it any further. Hold it right at that spot, and you’ll feel a slight vibration as the car begins to engage. Then, gradually apply the gas to move forward smoothly. no need to rush it. With time you wil eventually learn it.

I'm too autistic to drive with stick shift and clutch, and focus on the road the same time. I switched to automatic

Yeah man, I'm a whole different autist when in a car. I get iq blackpilled everytime behind the wheel

It has its bright sides and cons. The future is automatic and electric anyways, but it would be nice to know how to drive normally and you can't drive all cars

yeah honestly it’s so hard to mask my autist brain when driving

it’s so brutal that literally basic functions necessary to live are this hard for us man, life really doesn’t work out for us sometimes huh

 

[Kaari]

I get spooked when just one car passes me on a street, let alone when the road is congested

You're not alone brother, but we are in the minority for sure. We will get automatic handicapped licenses for people that basically can't drive

Same. I hate big ass trucks too. I panic eveytime in stressful or unexpected situations

This world wasn’t meant for people like us, that’s the brutal reality for our brains

I was so scared of a parked up truck literally half a mile away that I turned into a road with the smoothest gear change and turn of my life because I was that scared of it man

I hate living this way but my genetics had other ideas for my miserable reality

I'm sorry to hear that. I know the feeling sucks. At least you tried your best

I sucked so hard that my driving instructor told me to go automatic. It's rare when your driving instructor tells you to go automatic, that means you really suck. Atleast now I know chances of passing are way higher. I've accepted it now, I'm autistic, and I can't fake a normal brain for such tasks

ouch that’s brutal

I feel you hard there though man, not just driving but life as a whole messes you up when people find out your brain is effed

brutal ntpill for me is when some mtb who I had orbit me caught me off guard without my mask and said hello, and because I get overwhelmed by people easily I was a stressed wreck when I replied back with something I don’t remember

I will never forget the disgust on her face and she lost interest in me, I will never forget that
no matter how hard I try to erase that

Sounds brutal. All you can do is look forward. If you switch to automatic finish your lessons fast and get it over with

I was in the car with younger foids that drive better than me that also had lessons (we switch students here, so previous driver sit in the back). Brutal,i hated to see that

I feel you there hard man, nothing more brutal masking seeing your NT peers do the things we find so hard so easy

I’m really enjoying this convo with you but I need to sleep (it’s 2AM in Britland), but like I said to emeraldglass I’m glad I got to know you a little more outside of .org as I probably wouldn’t have seen this side of you

Take it easy man, and have a good morning technically speaking since it’s 3AM for you kek
