Motor vehicle operation.

AKA driving.

So I just called the driving school to schedule my third and final two-hour behind-the-wheel session. Its set up for after school April 14th. This is always fun; Im in love with driving, its fun in my opinion, but for the last behind-the-wheel, the instructors like to have students drive to the nearby city of about 60-70k people versus my current town of 12k. Its about 35 minutes away on two-lane highways. No issue here unless I have to pass a car for the first time for some reason.

Thing is, its from 3 - 5pm and the city is hella busy already, let alone during busy hours. Im not used to driving on streets with so much traffic, so what I ask you is do you have any tips to help? Im hoping to get out with my dad for some additional practice here in town this weekend but it doesn't even compare to driving there; people are so aggresive and are everywhere.

My dad mainly said that I should just check my mirrors plenty which isn't much of an issue, my main problem would be watching so many damn cars around me. :o

You're going to kill your father when you mess up and swerve into an oncoming car and it smashes through the passenger-side door impaling and crushing the life out of him inches away as he futily coughs his last words through his twisted, broken body and face that sprays blood on you for just a little before the heart finally gives up as it recognizes the useless in striving to be as its own genetic offspring had killed it, ended its life prematurely when its sister organ had so much more knowledge to impart. まほ～

[Caution]

Too bad my dad isn't the instructor.

Also you're 11 so I don't think you know how to drive.

I have legs and a train pass, that's all I'll ever need. マホ～

Driving isn't hard, its dealing with other drivers thats the hard part.

Well, I guess the worse case scenario is: You run over a small child and spend the rest of your life in jail, you monster.

Exactly.

Theoretically it could be death. :c

I've always been fascinated our society has gotten to the point where we can trust near everyone to own and control a bullet that weighs a few thousand pounds.

I would rather die a thousand deaths than to live the rest of my life in prison. People value life too much.

I am pretty adorable, but I would rip someone's throat out in a second. I've always wanted to murder someone.

Getting my driver's license is one of the best things that's ever happened to me.

Tips just because I played alot of driving games, and I've been in a car enough times AND Im in Minniapolis at the moment.
 Don't stress over a billion things, but don't forget everything. And make sure you don't get caught behind some teen or some grandma or someone who would STOP right infront of you.
Good luck.

Gametip: Play more GTA4.

"I play games so I'm better at something."

Research has shown that gamers usually have a higher rate of car accidents.

ahah no

Just drive every single day with someone who knows better than you on the driving laws. All you need to do after that is relax and try not to stress yourself. I passed my test at a DMV which fails people more than they pass, and it was a breeze.
