After years of resistance, I finally caved to all the pressure and got my driver's license and a car a month ago at the age of 23. Today I confused a two way intersection for a four way intersection and got in a wreck. Miraculously no one was hurt but still this sucks and now I'm gonna have to go to court. This was inevitable. I suck at driving and in order to get any better I'd have to drive way more, pissing off thousands and possibly killing someone including myself. I was so worried this was going to happen and everyone gave me assurances that it wouldn't. But the data shows that this was actually very likely. It's very easy to get into a car crash. It happens all the time. It's extremely common. I could have died and death is a really big deal. Now everyone says don't let this discourage you. Why shouldn't it discourage me? Is my fear irrational? The most intelligent person here is the teenager who hit me who just repeated "ARE YOU STUPID? ARE YOU STUPID" again and again when I was trying to give him my insurance information. He was the only one who correctly realized that I made a bad decision. Fuck driving fuck cars. If women can be too scared to walk around at night because of a .00001% chance of getting raped by a stranger then I should be allowed to be too scared to drive my dumb ass around town with a brand new license because of a 20% chance of killing myself and someone's family. That shit is dangerous. I can't be trusted with that I'm stupid. I could absolutely make a mistake like that again. It's so easy.

Sometimes one finds themselves in an unkind moment, how can one judge you, who just walked by a cruel, uncertain path.
For me, I didn't really get to drive a car ever since I received my licence. I never had a car and didn't have immediate need to buy since I had public transit available which was a way much cheaper choice.
Now recalling about those days when I took my drivers courses, my driver instructor just had me memorize all the steps I should do to park for a fixed spot and didn't really explain why I was following those steps and if it is valid for every parking space. Guess one gotta somehow practice by themselves before bringing the cold-steel machine out
I am 28 years old and I still have not learned how to drive. My parents and my sister and my friends all keep telling me I gotta get that license. Why I am so lazy man?
