No, but he did put his seatbelt on and as tight as it would go
My fiance holds on to the bar above the passenger side door, but he really hasn't done it since he was in the car with my dad driving. hehehe. Like father like daughter

Driving, Bah.
After the first few million miles, it tends to lose its charm. And ITA, Rian.

I can't imagine not driving! It would probably be much better for my welfare (and the welfare of many others) if fewer people did it, though. I got my permit at 15 and my dad MADE me learn to drive. I was always perfectly happy saying, "No, Daddy, YOU drive!" I remember freaking out because he told me to go 40 miles an hour on a completely empty road and I didn't even want to think about going that fast! Now I get annoyed if someone goes 65 in a 70 on an interstate! But the thing is that I (and most everyone I know, I think) live about twenty-five or thirty minutes away from my school and where I work... And that estimate is a driving estimate. It would be two hours to walk and no buses come out of the city to the rural-ish town where my house is. Mari, Earn, I bet you guys have an overabundance of money because you don't spend half your paycheck on gas!

It's good to know how to drive.
It's good to know how to coordinate with people and carpool, too.

Midge, it's 2 hours by train from home to school and another 2 hours back
I think I'll leave the whole driving thing just what it is for the moment. I just learned today that apparently my BA doesn't count for much and I thus have a studydebt which I need to pay back ASAP. Now I need to find out the details *is quite 'annoyed' by everything that happened today and basically is in a murderous mood*

Hi dear Sis! You might want to stay away from me. I feel like I will either hit something (or someone) or start crying. Either way not very pretty.
If you're not scared, hug? *puppy eyes*

Hug, certainly.
And I'm not at all scared of tears, sweetheart.

*snuggles with Sis*
Well, I'm not quite decided between hitting and crying yet. But I think I'm starting to lean towards the latter. Maybe I'd better go down and cook pudding. That always helps. You can have some too when I get back ^_^

I look forward to it. In the meantime:
The Dutch are working on a gold in women's water-polo. 45 seconds left.

Today, at about 9:00 am, a handful of driving students including me, went to train driving in the slippery track. Don't know a better name for it.
Anyways, the car turned 180 degrees 3 times. Not in a row, but altogether. First when I hit the brakes in the ordinary way. Speed about 40 km/h. Then I learned it. After that, I had to drive 20 km/h into a slippery curve, then hit the switch: if I don't turn the wheel quickly enough, the car would turn 180 deg., which it did twice. On third time I learnt to turn the wheel quickly. And I had a passenger, in addition to my teacher! Another student, a girl. She was kinda cute. But of course, I didn't let that bother my driving. Also, when we drove to the track, I had to drive. I had a passenger then as well, some other girl.

Haha, yes, when I just came back into the house after walking the dog the commentator was going crazy, so I saw the repeat For the first time in Dutch history too!
Pudding anyone? Guaranteed to make you happy. *tackles Sis for a big hug and gives her a 'thank you, you're the bestest'-grin* Noble, is that sort of thing part of your driving lessons? Woah, another reason not to take lessons >_<
