Our first driving experience

Well, Tim had his first opportunity to drive this weekend. On friday we went out with our housemate Steve in search for some good dance music. We had little luck, but we found a little backpacker bar with some 80's music. Steve drove to the bar, but Steve wanted to get another drink, so Tim offered to drive home. Tim didn't drive but two minutes before we saw the flashing lights, he was being pulled over by a cop! We were all a little nervous, wondering what on earth he had done wrong. The cop comes to the window and asks for his license and Tim warns her that this was his first time driving on the right side of the road. From the back I correct Tim by saying "the LEFT side of the road." It turns out she was just wanted to give him a breathalizer test. When Tim passed the test, she told him to drive carefully and let us go on our way. We made it home without any other interuptions. Tim did have a little trouble with the turn signal on the opposite side of the steering wheel. To make his first drive even harder - he was driving a stick shift and had to change gears with his left hand. :)
We made it home safe and sound and had a good laugh!
