Ok I don't know how many of you all read blogs but I am starting mine. I figure I actually have something to write about so here ya go. I am 34 years old soon to be 35. I have never had a driver license before. Thats right I have never driven a car.
Last night I got my learners permit (so my friends husband and family can take me out on the and teach me to drive.). I took the written test got a 99% on it. Then for the vision. (See I am legally blind in my left eye.) I put my head on the little machine and looked threw it, read what the told me to and then the lady tell me there will be a flashing light on either side tell her when and what side the light is flashing. So the light starts flashing I say on the right. and then I wait, and wait, and wait! Finally the lady asks if I see the light flashing on my left I said no she then told me to turn my head so I can see it. So I do and I passed the eye exam! My only restriction is that I have to wear my glasses!
Now lets think about this shall we? I have no peripheral vision on my left side at all. And I pass. It makes me scared to think how many drivers are out there with worse vision then me.
So here is what I was figuring on doing. I am going to tell any and all who are interested my little story about me learning how to drive. All the scares the yelling, the cursing(I will change the language slight as to not offend anyone) and the near misses. and hopefully that will all that there will be near misses and not total crashes! Hope some one reads this and enjoys if not I guess that ok too it will be just for my records. something to look back on.
I will be off now. I hope you that are reading this has a beautiful and blessed day.
