I JUST got my permit the other day--and so today, I BEGGED my mom to let me drive out of our parkway---yeaaaah didn't turn out so well because I had NO FRICKIN' clue what I was doing. She kept yelling at me--and it scared me! I know this sounds incredibly hilarious because I'm laughing about it now--but I was REALLY scared. Anyway, tomorrow I'm driving around tomorrow at driver's ed and I don't want the instructor to think I'm an idiot. I have NO EXPERIENCE whatsoever. Today (with my mom) was the FIRST time in my life I have sat in the driver's seat and put the keys in. I didn't even know how to put the key in until my mom told me. I NOW realize that BRAKES are the most important thing EVEEEEEER. Does anyone have any tips for me tomorrow..so I don't look stupid? PS. I'm 16! :) Thanks!!

People go to drivers ed when they want to learn, so don't worry about it! You will learn all you need to know from him/her and you won't look stupid because believe me, they've had their share of drivers and there have probably been a ton worse. Just relax and go with a good attitute! You might want to just tell the driver instructor that you are starting from the absolute beginning and have never driven before. Good luck sweetie, and driving isn't that hard to pick up, and it's easy to get the hang of it so as soon as you know it, you'll be driving out of your parkway confidently AND going wherever your heart desires with the car & with your new found driving experience. If you need anything else just drop one in my inbox. Hope I helped hun.
