Learning to Drive - but Never getting There

I am wondering if anyone else out there has ever started down that path of learning to drive and something tells you "no" and that is that you dont learn.

For me I was 18 and taking lessons, things were going well, I was doing good and was taken out onto a very busy 4 lane road. Suddenly I had a "vision" a massive crash and two totalled cars. One was mine, I stopped and got out of the car walked across 3 lanes of traffic (somehow not getting honked at or hit) and sat on the sidewalk. The driving instructor had control on his side of the car so was able to take over and move the car safely away.

He came to me calmly saying that he felt something happen but did not understand what, and that it was odd no one honked or got upset with me stopping like that. Like they knew too something was wrong.

I told him I had a "vision" where I drive I die, and at the time that was fine if I died it would have not had a huge impact. But no matter how hard I had tried to look into the other totalled car I could not see if they lived or not. That scared me so much that I never learned to drive.

The instructor took me home and said that I was wise to listen and that not driving for some is that path. Too many times we are warned and we still go forwards and do things. I have never looked back.

I still now at 55 years of age have that feeling I drive I die, and I still can not see into that other car not can other readers.
