Í feel like a complete dork and need to know some solutions to my panic moments whilst driving. Actually, it's more when I can't do something at the exact moment and don't have time to find a way out. I guess I can apply this to all aspects of my life but mainly driving & perhaps cycling.

THis evening, I dented one of the rear side doors on our new vehicle.. trying to maneuvere my way into a car parking facility. I had the vehicle as I did some hill stuff in Kings Park this morning(normal friday thing) & was going to meet ian after work for drinks with co-workers. (I'm the designated driver) Anywho, I turned into the driveway of the car park & noticed I was a bit close to the right side. I think I overcorrected & ended up backing up into a little round pole on my left..

I panicked. I didn't want to hold up anyone behind me if they came along. Also, the car park is on a busy side street. I backed out, drove up the road, stopped & called ian. He's cool with it & understands.

I don't want to be the dork that holds everyone up or doesn't know the solution to something or doesn't know how to do something.

Another example is-I am hopeless with directions. Prior to buying a TomTom Sat Nav, i'd panic if the directions i'd planned didn't work & got lost.

Any ideas..have you been in the same boat as well??

Help!
