I once drove my MG down a footpath into the supermarket car park 😳 because I got so frustrated trying to find the entrance when I first got a car.
Several times now I've driven home from work to find myself at the end of a road where I would normally ride through a gate and along a path through a small nature area. It's a long way round when you realise...

Really? I'm the opposite, can name virtually every road within a 20 mile radius!
I often have a "What the hell are all these cars doing here?" moment when i do take the car out. I haven't managed to train myself to take rush hour and school traffic into account yet.
Was driving recently and I hit my hand on the driver door whilst trying to indicate with my arm.
