Ever had one those moments in life when you know, beyond any shadow of a doubt, you are making a very, very bad decision, with a great chance for instant regret and a miserable, probably long lasting, outcome and notheless followed that path?

Yeah, that one. Care to share with us?

I'll start. I dated a person, after we had already dated for a very short time, during which I was cheated on and eventually was left for a fourth person.

Yeah, not my brightest moment. And yes, I was cheated on again and again was left for another person.

So you didn't pass?

Actually I totally did! The terrible wreck happened on the way home. Real rollercoaster of emotions, that day was

It's traditional for driving instructors to drive you home after passing if you're using their car (at least in the uk).

Too many people have passed, then had a bad accident on the way home.

(Plus sometimes they only carry learner insurance)

That sounds lovely! I'm not sure how common it is here, since not many people I know in the U.S. have ever had a driving instructor. They exist, but most people I know just learned from family or friends.

I had no idea that what happened to me is so common, that's honestly a bit of a relief.
