Response

 feel I need to respond to the comments that were left on my last post
Yes I do drive
I have a learner permit 
Which means I can drive accompanied
Which I always do
Although I do admit
There have been times when I drove solo
But I try to avoid that as much as possible
And of course I am insured
I am not breaking any law by driving my car with an appropriate adult
So to the person who called me 'selfish'
I am doing nothing wrong by driving my car with someone who has a full license
So please 
And feel bad enough as it is today
You can not make me feel any worse

I have been driving for a few years now
And have never done anything that is illegal
When I drive
Either my mum 
My sister or my dad are with me
So to you anonymous 
Who accused me of being 'incredibly selfish'
And of driving illegally
You don't know me
You don't know who I drive with
And what rules I do and don't break
I am fully insured on my car
So if I was to have an accident 
Normal rules apply
I just think it's really sad that you would attack someone when they are already feeling down
You don't know me 
So please 
Get your facts straight before throwing accusations around

  1. I feel bad for making you feel worse (I'm the first anon) but you have blogged about being on your own in the car in the past (definitely alone eh driving to the boys house) so I find this hard to believe. It's ok to make mistakes but I struggle with dishonesty that is not part of your ed. but it's my choice to read and I just hope all is truthful and I am wrong and you get to pass soon.

    1. I can't lie
      And of course there have been times when I have driven alone
      But nine out of ten times
      There is someone with me
      I'm not trying to be dishonest
      Frankly
      I find it strange that people are pulling me up on this
      I am doing the best I can
      In all areas of my life
      I'm not perfect
      I make mistakes all the time
      Including with my driving
      I make an effort to have someone with me in the car
      And as I said
      Mostly there is someone with me
      I'm actually wondering why I have to justify myself
      I'm not a bad person
      Please don't make me feel like one

  2. I think people make a big deal of this because it is so serious and endangers others lives. So it's not just you you're affecting. I personally find it a big deal and something that pushes my "moral limit" buttons. But I take responsibility for reading or not, I just felt I should explain why I posted. It was NOT to upset you but to ask you to think about something that is so dangerous and potentially catastrophic for you and others. I'm sorry for making you feel bad.

  5. Wow, just catching up; it would seem i missed a hotbed topic today!!

    First off Lovie, I'm sorry you didn't pass your test!! It seemed like so much was coming against you from the get--Crazy-woman almost causing you to crash, then the sighting of the Loser! (this kinda reminds me of that Other time when you ran into your "worst ppl" all in the space of a few hrs!!!) THEN you had no meds, which would compound the inherent nerves that come w/testing; Finally, you were unprepared In Terms Of training up for this appt.
    Oyeah, & barely coming off hols (jet/train-lagged) where ye'd also been sick.…
    Good Grief

    That's quite a lot on your place, Hun!! : ( I admit Ise V surprised you were scheduled so soon after returning, but I had just hoped for the best. Even under the Best of circs, [hrs of practice, many lessons, caught-up on sleeping {& Food}, only basic pre-test jitters] many a person have got stressy b4/ during their exams! So… you're HUMAN-!! Welcome to the human race ; )

    As for the OTHER race, The RAT RACE so intent upon throwing you under the bus, [SOME mind, not all, b/c explaining in a CIVIL manner is fine even if viewpoints differ-!] CEASE AND DESIST alrdy!
    She feels low enough as it is--need she You to make her feel worse!?? :/
    She drove a few times unaccompanied, which she's admitted to. She didn't have to 'confess'--even in a Blog disclosing so much, shes allowed not to tell ev'ry-single-thing, but she told us-! What, you would stone her for being forthcoming?!?
    I'm fairly sure most of us have done something not altogether to-the-lettre @ a point in re driving: If you actually happen to be in the upper echelon of those who never did even 1 thing wrong, my apologies & 'kudos' to you, [& not facetiously : )] but Yet And Still it is just CRUEL, COWARDLY & UNCALLED FOR to kick someone when she's down--SHAME ON YOU!!!

    Right; 'Back to you,' Rubly;
    Don't stress the test, just do what you need to prepare for the next go--you WILL pass it, so no worries-! Just tk some time to get bk to nto routine, [including Lotsa REST !] & she'll be right, Truly-!! @ your best, you'll not be less than UNSTOPPABLE

    ((Hugs + TEA)) <3 you forEVER; Jils

    PS: 2 things: Is there any way you can take ½ or evn just ⅓ of your dosage on test day-?? then you might be calmer [& still undrowsy-?]
    Maybe driving in a 'quieter' area is in fact NOT do good against the 'noisier' but more familiar…-??

  6. Dearest Ruby, DO NOT FEEL LIKE YOU NEED TO JUSTIFY YOURSELF! To anyone, especially someone who hides behind an anonymous account. This is YOUR safe place and YOU should be able to write whatever YOU want. You deserve to express yourself without editing yourself or justifying what you wrote. We'll catch up soon, until then, I'm sending you lots of love and I support you.
    XOXO Katie
