any time I fuck up while driving I ask myself would light yagami be able to do better than me and conclude the answer is no and it makes me feel better every time
i'm adopting this strategy immediately. also i'm going to steal your ask to make a list i've been thinking about for ages forgive me
rec list: light yagami is bad at driving
God of the New Road - 3k, crackfic, just light
Light Yagami may be the God of the New World, but there’s one challenge he has yet to conquer: his driver’s license. - “This is merely a formality, Ryuk,” he murmured under his breath. “Passing is a given.” From behind him came a dry, raspy chuckle. “Oh, this should be entertaining,” Ryuk remarked, floating lazily in the air, his golden eyes glinting with amusement. “Let’s see if you’re as flawless behind the wheel as you think you are, Light.” Without missing a beat, Light shot him a sharp glance. “I don’t think, Ryuk. I know.”
How About We Stop Talking For A While? - 1k, crackfic, l/light
L drags Light out for an undisclosed little work trip. Light cannot fucking drive. Chaos ensues. - Light Yagami had not so much as gazed upon a steering wheel for the past two years, and now, by god’s malevolent grace, sat there gripping it as if it would save him from the inevitable rapture, with satan’s agent of chaos staring at him with doey frog-eyes and piercing judgment.
right of way - 1k, crackfic, l/light
Light hits L with his car and it’s NOT his fault. - He side-eyes Light. “You know, I’m starting to think you aren’t sorry at all.” “What?” “Well, you look like you want to hit me a second time.”
if I wanted bumper cars, I would've gone to the fun park - <1k, crackfic, l & light (& misa)
Light is very good at backing out of parking spaces. It's not his fault that L decided to park so close. - He stared intently at the backup camera. He'd gotten a perfect score on his permit test, just like every other test he'd taken. He had passed his road test, which meant he knew exactly what he was doing. The space had not been this tight when he had first pulled in. But some asshole had parked almost right up against his rear bumper, and now he had to inch back as gingerly as possible in order to pull out. He knew how to back out of spaces. He was quite good at backing out of spaces.
i love all of these fics so much. please go forth & read about light yagami being bad at driving.
