I finally got my learner's permit in January of last year, because my wife insisted, we were planning a family, and I felt that I owed it to her to at least be there as a back up driver.
But I really hate the idea and didn't get to drive around much. I have to renew the darn thing for another year, but honestly, I seem to get more nervous around cars all the time.
My wife's a phenomenal driver - she drives stick, she does parallel parking like I've never seen - she's been a vehicle coordinator for flms for a while and had to drive all kinds of crazy vehicles. I trust her more than I'd trust myself or anyone. But it's the rest of the people around us - like that guy this afternoon...
