THE MYSTERIES OF DRIVING

Cars were invented by Henry Ford in the 1940s and have since become the most important invention ever. You can't go anywhere without a car or an airplane but cars have been proven much preferred for anything that isn't a too long distance. The car was replacing the horse so a lot of terms about a car (like horespower and traction) come from terms already used for horses to make the transition easier for the simpler people of the time.

I have never been interested in driving because I am a big environmental buff and I have plenty of people around me who like to driving and buy gas. So there is never really been a reason I would want to deal with having to buy a car or test drive a car. i have everything I want at home and Judy tends to take me places when my grandmother wont. But my grandmother forced me to learn to drive and I had some observations I wanted to share with you that I never expected. Everyone who is in a car knows about seat belts and doors, driving over bumps, don't hit cars on the street, stop at stop signs, and all the other basic techniques that all driving have to know. But these observations will help you jumpstart the learning process if you ever decide to drive, which I think should be your choice since the envirment is just getting sicker and you may not want to add to that.


  • Pay careful attention to the sticks poking out of the stearing wheel because they handle the wipers and turn lights. A mistake could mean an accident especially in the rain!
  • The gas footpetal is more sensitive than you think and you can easily go so fast you will loose control and get in a wreck.
  • The mirrors are actually for seeing the road behind you, not looking at yourself like you previously thought. Looking at yourself could get you in a wreck, save that for home.
  • The stick in the middle has a bunch of letters on it, but "R" means reverse and "D4" means drive. The rest are there for more advanced drivers like race car drivers.
  • Driving is really easy and it doesn't take any learning to be an expert, at least for me.


I hope these help you on your way to driving better without as much issue as you may have learning this yourself. Please feel free to share any additional ips you may have below!
