Ten Reasons Why Sadie Matthews Will Never Pass Her Driver’s License Exam

 

1. I freak out when I’m behind the wheel. I have trouble remembering which button turns on the headlights. The windshield wipers swish. Then I have to cover my idiocy by pretending to see raindrops.

2. I live within walking distance of my school, a food store, and Abercrombie. Where else could I possibly need to go?

3. All my friends (except Jana) drive.

4. If I learn how to drive, I may have to look at colleges.

5. If I pass my driver’s test, I can’t take Driver’s Ed classes anymore. And let me tell you, if you saw my instructor you would want to fail as much as possible.

6. I’m pretty sure I would somehow damage any vehicle under my control, which means I would soon be back to not driving again, anyway.

7. What would happen if I hit the accelerator instead of the brake like those senior citizens on the news, and end up in somebody’s dining room? Totally awkward.

8. When going on dates, the guy should always pick up the girl at her house, according to my mom. If I can’t drive, it’s not even an option. Unless I go all clandestine and walk myself to the movie theater for a secret romantic interlude.

9. If I focus too much on driving, I won’t have time to help Jana complete our awesome achievements list. Which is still totally blank.

10. I can’t log any practice time because Mom refuses to hand over the keys to her car until she’s saved up enough money for new brakes and tires. She’s been saving for three years now.
