Don't you just hate it when you're dirving and you do something really stupid (say, cut someone off or pull out right in front of them) without even thinking about it? Then right after you do it you realize you did it a feel like the stupidest idiot there is.

Today I looked to see if it was safe to pull out of a gas station. The only car I saw coming was an old 323 a ways down the road, so I pulled out. By the time I got half way out and completely into the lane, I looked over again to the sound of locked up tires and saw a Cutlass Ciera stopped about a foot from my door. Didn't even see the guy. Man did I ever feel stupid. I scare myself sometimes.

Then, of course, I had to sit at a red light with him right beside me in the other lane staring at me...

i did that once, i pulled outta the parking lot and actually saw the car coming, but it was in the middle lane so i said ok and pulled out, but i didn't know that the middle lane turned into my lane and i almost had this lady crashing into me. the funny part is though that this little old lady past me and gave me the finger. i was cracking up.

I havn't almost caused a crash or anything, but I have hammered the brakes in an auto thinking it's the clutch. Lucky for me, there wasn't anybody around, so I got away with it.

This is true......we had a little old lady bring her car in to be repaired one day and we give her a car to have for the day so she could still do here shopping etc etc.

We showed her the car, gave her the keys only for her to return 2 minutes later and say to us.."there seems to be something wrong with that car you gave me as the clutch pedal seems to be missing"

In her 70 odd years of driving see had never known about a auto.....lol

I still laugh like f*** when i think about it

At least she didn't use the parking brake as the clutch.
