slickery

i have been driving for a total of four years not counting my permit and in all of thoughts years i have never been as nervous about driving as i was tonight. let me give u a little back story. in my years of driving i have had to drive one, to and from school,to and from work, to places of interest, to and from reed springs to Springfield;multiple times and most at night on not much sleep,i have driven to and from KC, in all its a lot of driving and a lot of places where i could have had horrible accidents and what not and gotten tickets and such but, in all of the four years i have had one finder bender and one ticket, both i have just gotten recently. when looking at this most would think wow good driving record. i feel the same I'm a good driver despite what the stupid cop how said i didn't stop at a stop sing i have been stopping at for 5 years or the cop that didn't event really ask me what happened in the accident when i was the one driving, but lately i have felt like a bad driver. i mean i know I'm not the best driver in the world but i think I'm pretty good and lately with the ticks i have been getting I'm not feeling so hot. so, now i feel more nervous when i drive i do the same things i have always done but now I'm just nervous all the time and let others drive when they offer. tonight me and my boyfriend went out on a date, one that was much needed and that u can hear about in another blog i have yet to post, but he offered to drive in a manner that really meant i don't want to drive but its the nice thing to offer wile we are standing in front of you mother. so i drove it had been snowing all day, just little flurry's and nothing major but just enough to keep the roads wet. by the time we left my house i had gotten cold enough and had been snowing long enough to make the roads just a bit of a concern. so i sat out in my car wondering if i should drive with or without four wheel drive i decided agents it and said if it seemed slick i would pull over and turn my four wheel on but, the roads were great not slippery at all, that is till be got to the road just before Fridays that's a windy mess. as soon a we pulled on to the street i knew something was going to happen so i sat up straighter and made sure to concentrate more. sure enough i felt the car slide just a little i informed my boyfriend of it and as soon as i did the car slid to the side i turned the wheel in the other direction and it slide to that side fast then i taped the breaks and straighted the wheel. and bam. I was golden we got straighted out and i drove on and parked. in those few seconds when we were sliding we could have slide right through the grassy nole into the highway traffic if i hadn't had my head on my shoulders and stayed calm. after i parked i got out smiled and said I'm one hell of a driver. now some may be thinking oh u never turn agents the pull oh u never break,but i this situation if i would have done that if i would have freaked and let the wheel go we would have slid right into the highway traffic and the worst could have happened so i say to you officers that took one look at me and decided i was a stupid girl that doesn't know how to drive safe and all ways wants to drive fast and doesn't care about anyones safety i say to you......bull. i say u get put into the situation i was tonight and see if all your talk and training about the way to handle your self when sliding keeps you alive or if you get killed because what payed off for me tonight was my ability to be a great driver when it really comes down to it when not only my life but another life is hanging in the balance of me improvising and feeling what i need to do to gain control over the car again, I'm a beast.
