Driving

In this scene I feel so much like Jeannette's mom...
"Okeydoke!" Mom shouted. But instead of easing forward, Mom, who had never quite gotten the hang of driving, hit the gas pedal hard, and the truck shot ahead."
One time my mom was driving and I was criticising her. She asked me if I would like a try, so in an empty side road/alley thing I got into the driver's seat. I put my foot down gently on the pedal, we almost flew out of the car. I was comparing a car to the only other driving experience I had, golf carts. My mom got quite angry and I didn't drive until driver's training.
