I went out to practice my driving today. Turns out the darakshan area is brilliant for practicing driving with only two or three cars on every stretch of road. I then moved on to the more crowded areas such as Khadda Market and had a spot of trouble reversing out of my parked position. Lucky for me the driving population of Karachi comprises of jackasses who insist on closing off every area of possible movement except reversing and then honk at you from all sides to get you to get on with the backing up process. I have since decided that at the risk of having to walk a bit of the way, I will park only in ways that will allow me to simply move forwards out of the parking space and be as far away as possible from crowded parking areas.

So far so good. I'm pretty good at the zipping about cutting off other cars. By next week, I hope to have enough expertise to be able to drive myself to and fro like a pro. :)
