Don’t get me wrong, I think I’m a pretty good driver. Just that when I drive the family car which is a bigger car, I don’t seem to be able to estimate distances well. Since we got the car, I think I’ve caused several damages to it already.
The most recent few times that I drove it, I scratched the tire as well as the rims. Ouch!! I’m not the one paying for those replacement tires but I know they aren’t cheap. Luckily we don’t own a 4-wheel drive where we probably have to maintain an extra tire and we’ll have to fork out more for a 5th wheel warranty.
Because of my clumsiness when driving the family car, I prefer not to drive it when I go out alone with Ryan. Although he’s a really good boy and doesn’t distract me while I’m driving and he stays in his car seat, I still don’t feel as steady.
Looks like the next time I change cars, if I decide to, I won’t be opting for another family car. I feel in total control when driving my own car, maybe because I’m so used to it. It’s like that isn’t it, once you get used to the car, it feels like second nature when you’re behind the wheels. So really, I’m not such a terrible mummy-driver…when you see me on the road, no need to avoid me OK?
