teaching choso to drive stick was harder than either of you’d thought.

a quick learner all his life, choso rarely struggled to grasp new concepts. and if your sex life was any indication of his hand-eye coordination, you’d say he was pretty good at it.

but boy, the guy sucked at driving.

it was almost adorable watching his brows furrow as he pushed the clutch down, slamming down on the brakes jerkily. his lips pulled into a slight pout as he muttered something about the ‘janky fucking car’. but you were also terrified for your life. there were no controls on your side, and you were steadily nearing a busy road.

“let’s turn onto the side road on the left, yeah?” you’d carefully suggested - choso was barely doing 5 on a 25.

the tatted man was clearly bothered by his lack of finesse, even more so with the fact that you were in the passenger seat, watching him struggle.

“i got this.” he muttered, the flush on his cheeks and ears spreading to his neck. ignoring your instruction, choso passed the side road, instead trying to merge with the traffic ahead.

there was a sputter before you’d fully turned in, and the car jolts to a stop.

“what?” choso blinked, eyes darting over the dashboard as panic settled in.

“…we stalled.”

“but-” a loud honk cut him off - several - as cars queued up beside the vehicle. his head swivelled around to glare at the honkers, face redder than ever. “shut up!” he snapped, and you had to hold in a laugh.

“babe, i think you need my help.” you’d murmured. his mouth opened to protest, but the words died on his lips just as your fingers combed through his hair. setting his bruised ego aside, he got out of the car and swapped seats, ignoring the jeers of the road ragers. he’d accept defeat just this once.

but don’t you get used to it.

to all experienced road users,

please be kind to learner/student drivers. i know im probably preaching to the choir here, but ive had so many people being absolutely horrible to me (a learner with visibly displayed L plates) on the road. chances are some of you are learners yourself, but if you're an experienced driver please read this /nf

ive had people driving right behind me, honking at me, swerving in front of me to overtake. i understand you might be in a hurry and no one likes going slowly, but we're only just figuring out how to drive this terrifying and complicated machine and learn all the road rules. we've had a matter of months - if not weeks - to learn all of what you've been doing for years. some of you might've been driving for longer than we've been alive. every time you honk at a learner or follow right behind us and give us no space, imagine a scared and stressed teenager at the wheel who's now panicking because we feel terrible about holding everyone up on roads we have every legal right to be on - because that's probably what's happening!

so yes, we might make a few mistakes. we might go a bit slower. but please be patient with us, and give us some grace. ive had some drivers being very kind and courteous, who let me past and take it slow, and i forever appreciate you! ❤️ so could everyone please be more like those drivers? it's the kind thing to do, and it makes us more road confident and less likely to make mistakes, which makes everyone safer. be nice to learner drivers please

also, don't run across the road suddenly if you see us approaching, cos we WILL panic!! just wait!

Why do all the teenage characters in the dystopian series I’m currently reading seem to instantly know how to drive a car!!?? I mean the main character drove for the first time in the middle of a chase scene completely fine while I’m freaking a fuck out and I have an adult in the passenger seat?

Things I wish I had known when buying and maintaining my first car

I love a bit of hindsight and today I’m sharing some of my own in the hope that it might help new drivers or first-time car buyers to find a safe vehicle and get a better deal. Here are some of the things I wish I had known when I was buying my first car…

This post has been written in collaboration with the ATS Euromaster I Wish I Knew campaign Whether you’re a brand-new motorist or a long-term driver, you’ll still have the same factors to consider when buying a second-hand vehicle. From paperwork and finances to ongoing costs like car servicing and maintenance, there are many elements you should put on your checklist when you plan to buy a…
