which is a concern.

it means i am allowed to drive when really i should not be. recently i got in the car after, probably, 18 months of not being in the driver´s seat, and my first thought was: which one is the gas pedal? full disclosure, no exaggeration. my friend, whose car it is and who was sitting next to me, was understandably taken aback by the fact that i not only thought but actually asked it out loud. his face was priceless: a mixture of oh-god-i-am-going-to-die-in-this-car-today and bewildered amusement.

i am happy to report that nobody died. not in the car or outside of the car. i didn´t cause a major collision nor did i murder any wildlife.

which is a concern.

because now i will have to drive again.

how do i get out of this without killing people or animals or damaging property? HOW?!?!
