"Today, we're going to learn how to drive."

"Yaaaay!"

"First of all, put on your seat belt."

"Shouldn't I get in the car first?"

"Ah, yes. But watch your head. This car is like a can of sardines. Okay, now start the car."

"How do I do that?"

"Just put the key in the ignition and turn it."

(Vroooom, vroooom)

"Wow, how cool!"

"Don't get carried away yet. You still have a lot to learn. Safe driving—along with patience—is the key to not crashing on your first day."

"Okay, so what now?"

"Press the clutch pedal all the way down, put the car in first gear, and gently press down on the accelerator/gas pedal while slowly releasing the clutch. And don't forget to signal left and release the parking brake."

"What?? What did you say again? Sorry, I was looking at myself in the mirror."

"Which mirror, the rearview or the side view?"

"My pocket mirror."

"Okay, now let's move!"

"Where are we going?"

"Just follow my directions and pay attention to the traffic lights, the traffic signals and the ones painted on the ground. And watch out for the pedestrians; some of them are hell-bent on getting run over."

"Watch out for the dog. You have to yield to people on crosswalks."

"You said people, not dogs."

"Yeah, I know. But if you had hit the dog, my car could've been dented.Let's practice on a roundabout instead. It's safer. There'sone on the way to the mall."

"What do they look like?"

"You've never seen one?"

"Uhh... nope."

"They're like traffic circles to improve traffic flow and safety. As long as you keep making turns, you don't have to give way to anyone, including those coming from/ on your right. But don't make more than two turns or you'll get dizzy."

"Sounds good! Is this car insured?"

"Of course!"

"Mandadory or third parties?"

"Neither of them, comprehensive."

"Cool ! So let's go! Let's do some skids!"
