Are you willing to admit your driving faults?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I have poor peripheral vision, as well as dyscalculia – which affects my ability to distinguish left from right, as well as accurately judge distance. As a result, I am an exceptionally cautious driver. I never drive faster than the speed limit. I drive most often in the center lane, in order to avoid sudden stops and people merging from acceleration lanes. I make every effort to not drive after dark or on wet roads if at all possible. My biggest issue when driving is that I cannot parallel park with any kind of skill. I’d rather pay for a garage spot and walk an extra block than park on the street in front of my destination.
