Driving Miss Daisy

Ms16 was so excited that she demanded I take her for a driving lesson in the car.

You can go miles in such a short space of time that it felt like we'd driven half of the city.

We came to a hill, and previously I'd been pointing out that 60 wasn't 50 - the speed limit, so we attack the hill - at 45ish, and it gets steeper,

we get slower,

I encourage pressing on the accelerator,

a little harder

a little harder

and then it kicks down a gear (as automatics do), and MS16 Screams and takes her foot off the accelerator.

Seems it's never done that before.
