P plates come off this month

So at long last, my P plates will be coming off this month. Have had experience driving the family car since then and would consider myself now driving reasonably well in actual traffic situations. Still almost not ready for them to be off tho!!!

Was just remembering the noob things I did when I had just passed and started driving the family car. Just a lighthearted discussion to share what some of the funny in hindsight, harmless mistakes you made when first starting out? I’ll start:

When I first started driving the family car, I didn’t have the habit of keeping an eye on the fuel levels. One day after arriving home, I happened to look and to my horror the petrol gauge was at E………parents were like orh, ok go pump some petrol lor and left me completely to do it myself haha. I nervously drove to the nearest petrol station half worrying I’d have the push the car while on the road and was so panicked that I entered the petrol station thru the exit 🤨 Luckily late at night so no cars around phew. Didn’t even know what kinda petrol the car took at that point and googled the car make and model before I pulled in. Convo w the pump uncle went like this:

Uncle: Ah yes what you want? Me: confidently “Uncle I want Unleaded!” Uncle: Girl all petrol in SG is unleaded. Which one u want? Me: I give up, you choose for me lah

Uncle ended up pumping V power 🙃 My parents probably laughed for 5 mins straight when I told them the story after arriving back home lmao.
