The Joy of Driving: A Personal Journey
Driving is more than just a mode of transportation, for me it represents freedom, independence, and a personal journey. I learnt how to drive at age 18, in my family itvis a normal thing that once you at the age of a teenager, you can learn how to drive because my dad had a old car that my elder brother uses to work so one holiday my elder brother took on the role of mentor and instructor, patiently guiding me through on how to handle a car and drive itthe roads. Before now I have always been watching him drive and taken note of some basic things like backing after a junction not before, traffigate to show sign that you are not longer going straight but with turn all this were the things I kept in my mind even before learning how to drive. And then one of the reasons why my brother had to teach me was that I was usually useful to him, every weekend when I'm home I do help him wash the car so In return of my kind gesture he promised he will teach me how to drive.
Learning to drive was a family affair, with my elder brother as my patient and supportive teacher. He told me I did need to go to a driving school since I have him, that was so sweet of him and his extensive driving experience made the learning process enjoyable and stress-free. I can still remember the very first day I started i learning, I was so filled with a mix feeling of excitement and nervousness. I thought driving was an easy task I could just do with ease but it was difficult each single lesson brought new challenges and I had victories from them, from mastering parallel parking to confidently merging onto highways. My brother's guidance was instrumental in helping me develop the skills and confidence needed to become a competent young driver.
My Love for Driving
Driving quickly became more than just a necessity that my family make it looks like, it became my passion although it sounds wired that driving could be someone's passion. I find this deep joy in the act of driving, especially when accompanied by soft, soothing music the likes of blue by my favorite artist Celin Dion. It just make me feel good about myself, I don't like sitting in the car and not the one driving especially when there is no music playing it's make me feel bored, Whether it's a short drive to get something from the store or a long journey to a distant destination, driving offers a unique blend of sled expression and excitement.
The Longest Road Trip
One of the most memorable driving experiences I've had since I started driving was a road trip to my village one Christmas to visit my sweet grandmother. This journey took about 3 hours for me to get there, it took me on the longest drive I've ever undertaken. The trip was not just about the destination but also about the journey itself. I think that was the first time driving for that distance alone with just my music. It was funny because my mom didn't believe I could made it since it has always been my dad driving us to the village, she was scared if I will even know my way down to the village, Despite the challenges, the drive was deeply rewarding. Arriving at my grandmother's house and seeing her beautiful smile made every mile worth it. The journey reinforced my love for driving and the sense of freedom.
About drive in a cinema, I haven't had the experience before, but I've heard so much about it, I'm hoping one of this days I will visit not for movies but just to dive and have fun.

Driving is fun but when it's for a long distance trip..it's tiring..I get tired of controlling the steering...I prefer driving for few hours and allowing hubby to continue

Knowing how to drive is very important. One doesn't know when an emergency will happen. Road trips are amazing and fun . Nice piece
Yeah that's very correct driving should be a necessity for everyone of age. Thanks for stopping by
