While I was pushing a grocery cart in the packed SM Hypermarket (now I know why it’s prefixed with “hyper”) last Sunday, I was imagining if driving a car would be as easy as maneuvering a push cart. Of course, that’s a silly idea. I did try to learn back when I was in high school, a couple of years shy of the legal age allowed to drive. We had this owner-type jeep and I remember that my father allowed me once or twice to take the driver’s seat, in the main roads of our province no less, with a few nervous passenger friends who didn’t want to say anything so as not to hurt my feelings. I know that was foolish, and although our old vehicle didn’t have and probably didn’t need online car insurance then, I was confident that I wasn’t risking anybody’s life in that few minutes of my own personal thrill. (How did I grow up to be such a nervous wreck?) But I was deemed careless, unbalanced with speed, and incapable of controlling the gears, besides the fact that I can’t make a turn, so I didn’t try again even when I was a lot older. It makes me wonder if I can start learning to drive again one of these days. Maybe when I am finally capable of actually getting myself a car, I’ll go down that road.
