Not rage, but a vent. Failed the road test for the third time today. I keep making dumb mistakes each time. The last two tests, the instructors have said, "if not for that one thing, you would have passed." Today I hit a cone parallel parking (I was able to successfully do it during my second test, but failed due to turning left at a red light). The instructor told me I must practice for two weeks with an adult in the car, but said bc I'm a "skilled driver," I could probably just drive on my own (I can't tell if they meant it fr or pity, but this kinda made me feel worse). I'm so embarrassed and ashamed because I'm over 18 now. Hoping it doesn't get to the point where I need to take driving lessons bc I can't afford it. Feeling deflated and just want to cry all day; keeping my spirits up with memes.

Did you pass!?

Yes, on my fourth try!! I now drive to work everyday😁. Driving still gives me anxiety, but at the same time I feel better about myself for not having to rely on others to drive me places now. I still don't feel comfortable driving in the dark, rain, or snow, but I'll just push through it and keep trying like I did with the road test💪

Above all else be safe and observant. I got my N five days ago. Today someone almost ran me off the highway racing from one side to the other to make an HOV exit. You’ve got this.

USE YOUR FUCKING TURN SIGNALS I live in Calgary, and drivers from 16-80 years old repeatedly don't use their signal. If your hands are at 9 and 3 as they should be, the signal is the easiest thing to do and not using your signal every single time is so lazy, disrespectful, and possibly ignorant to drivers and pedestrians around you. Turn lanes don't matter, no cars around doesn't matter. No one gets ticketed for it and it drives me fucking crazy.
WHY DO SOME THINK ITS OKAY TO NOT USE YOUR INDICATORS!? WTF

Every fucking day where I live. It drives me insane.
