First time driving solo today! I did fine, until I locked my keys in the car.
Was anyone else on the old DAB forum, circa 2009? I was recently reminded of it, lol.

Bitterly jittery, and not very glittery.

My cousin locked her keys in her car she was out there for like a hour trying to pick the lock  then a neighbor came out and was trying to prie  it open and after that we left
Never trust a smiling pirate.  :D

I can do that because I'm awesome.

I'm still several years off being able to drive. The thought of driving terrifies me- I don't think that the danger of roads are appreciated as much as they should be. I mean, yeah, there's loads of safe drivers, but the inherent danger of multi-ton pieces of metal moving at sixty miles an hour... That doesn't really ever go away. No matter what.
I don't think I'll have too much trouble learning to drive, though- My guess is I'll be terrified a lot, but still able to keep some semblance of control of the vehicle. I think some of it I'll really enjoy, and some of it will really scare me.
The hardest part for me, though, will probably be learning how to get places. I have basically no sense of direction, I could navigate you about three places- And only then from one to the other.

I was stuck for three hours, until my grandfather came and broke in. He was pretty annoyed.

It's pretty scary when you first get out on the road, but after a while it gets easier and less horrifying. About the navigation thing, you sound like my sister! The first time we went to visit family in a big town (she was 17, I was 11, and it was just the two of us), my brother had to make her hand the phone to me so that he could direct us, because she thought that when we went across an intersection, we automatically got onto the road indicated by the sign on the light. (As in: We were on Gobbledygook Ave. and there was an intersection with Egghead Drive, she thought we had gotten onto Egghead Drive when we were really still on Gobbledygook Ave.)

I didn't have to parallel because the dude doing the test couldn't find a suitable case for me to do it, but that helps to balance out the fact that I was driving a 15-passenger van.  :P AKA: Gus AKA: a tank (Griffen's name for our bus).
We got a 15 passenger van as well; we call it 'The Bus'. It's. . . difficult to handle.

We have a 12-passenger van - my dad usually calls it 'The Bus', we just call it the van. And it has a super loud muffler that used to belong to a Corvette. You can hear it from a block away. ::)

They told me I was gullible. I believed them.

So how do you all go anywhere together? I remember from somewhere that you have nine people in your family?
