Honk, honk!!!!!

I just came back from riding the Scooty Pep on the street. Wow! Doesn’t driving a vehicle give you so much of confidence? As I wheezed past familiar buildings and my legs were stationery (as compared to the cycle which was quite often my last own means of transport, where I had to pedal), I was experiencing a wholesome amount of joy. The breeze rushing on my face gave me utmost satisfaction. All this as I was going straight. Then came the time for me to take a U turn. The vehicle was brought down to zero acceleration (by me, of course!) and I started pushing the vehicle with my legs. It was in the middle of this U turn that I realized how dumb I was (quite late, eh?) and started accelerating. I went straight ahead and stopped just in time to avoid hitting a gate. Whew! Then back to straight again.
The U turn was getting better all the while. After some time I was able to take perfect U turns without taking my legs off the vehicle. Awesome! I just couldn’t help gleaming at myself in congratulation. This was good fun to some road rascals who whistled. But I like to take things in some optimistic way :P I took it as those jobless guys were appreciating how my efforts paid off.
Going back to the last semester vacation I was here. My sis was here too. It was her vehicle and she insisted being around as I rode it. So she sat behind and to my utter horror, I couldn’t go beyond that 10 on the speedometer. All the while she was giving me instructions from behind. Sis, of course that’s nice, sweetie, but you must know you completely freaked me out! This time I was able to make nice 25s and 30s and the vehicle is fine too. :) Don’t worry.
I’ve got major plans to get my LLR and then the permanent license too, if possible, before I leave. Got to wait and see how many of these plans actually work out.
There’s a lot more to be done before I can even think of getting a licence. I first have to go past these horrible roads! I wonder how on earth I’m going to do that. I somehow feel the space between two vehicles (though huge) isn’t enough for my vehicle to pass through and I wait for those to gain some distance ahead of me. I act as a traffic cop and wait for all humans and vehicles to go, stop or do whatever they want before I go ahead. I feel stupid, but well, I’m getting better. I still am the traffic cop, but am getting wiser! :P
Yeah, for sure, I’m going to have at least an LLR before I leave! And I’ll “put the 8” also properly!!! :)
