Driving/Cars
I have a level 1 license, which basically means I can drive but with a licensed adult. I also have a car without a license plate. I'm a bit behind on my driving though and I'm too scared to drive on my own, or even with my dad.
We don't have the best relationship I guess. When I first got my license, I tried to drive on the road with him. I thought I was doing alright but he was yelling and screaming his head off about "the line". I guess that's when I started to be afraid of the road. I haven't gotten my required hours in for my level 2 license, and my dad often calls me "slow", "turtle", "loser", etc. because of it.
How do I go about getting my hours in? I want to be able to drive on my own, but it's been so long since I actually took lessons that I don't really know what I'm supposed to pay attention to. I did mention that I have a car, but I don't have insurance or a license plate. I also don't really have any gas in it nor do I know how to even fill it up.
I'll just make a list of questions I have so far:
1. Where can I find good affordable insurance for my car?
2. How do I put gas in my car? (I don't own a credit card/debit card so how would I go about doing it in cash?)
3. How do I go about getting over my fear of being on the road?
4. How I do I get my hours in if my dad and I don't get along?
5. How do I make sure to check my mirrors often?
6. How do I stop mistaking my turns while im in reverse?
7. Parking. How do I park on my own?
8. How do I go about anything mechanical? (If that makes sense at all)
I feel like if I get my level 2 license I'll have a bit more freedom. I'll also probably be able to get a job and drive myself there. If it helps knowing what car I own, it's a 2011 Ford Fusion.
