Drrrrive

I had my third driving lesson today. The instructor makes me turn left a lot. All he says throughout the hour is: "turn left" and "left" and "make another left." He says that I turn too sharply or something. He also tells me to watch where I'm going. I have an old driver's license that expired years ago; it's not like I've never driven a car before, buddy. I still have to rehearse left turns.

Other things he makes me practice is parallel parking. That's ok. I'm not great at it, but I'm not terrible either. I can totally do it.

The weirdest thing he has me do is the "broken U-turn". At first I thought he said "Brooklyn U-turn" and I said: "Wow, there's a BROOKLYN U-turn, what is that like??" But there's not one. Anyway, here's what I don't get: Why teach students to make U-turns in the city?? In my book, nobody should make U-turns in NYC. Just drive around the freaking block if you went down the wrong street. No, let's screw up traffic even more and have a bunch of idiots make U-turns left and right. I really don't get that.
