One time my ex hubby let me sit behind the wheel of car to give me a lesson,

It was on a quiet stretch of road up an industrial estate where learners go in their cars,

I was fine for awhile then I put my foot down to much and he told me gently use my foot,

I'm too hard footed ,He told me to slow down but I got bit giddy lost control and he had to prevent me from going into a ditch.

Driving is freedom. Not driving limits you.

Public transport is ok if you live in a city.
