Have you forgotten how to drive?

We’ve honed some of our skills during quarantine…but unfortunately driving isn’t one of them!

A new survey in The Mirror discovered one in five drivers say their skills got “rusty” these past few months…and aren’t driving as well as they used to (which may not have been that great to begin with).

The most common driving mistakes we’re making?

  • Stalling out
  • Struggling to parallel park
  • Forgetting to signal
  • Scraping wheels against the curb
  • Having to think about what each pedal does 😳
  • Not checking mirrors when pulling away
  • Forgetting where the gas cap is
  • Forgetting to turn the car ON  

Sounds like a Driver’s Ed refresher is in order!
