I always felt bad for Sassi when she crashed her mums car. I think I’d end up crashing too if my mum was acting like that while I was trying to learn. She hadn’t even pulled out of the car park when her mum started complaining at her and freaking out
My mom is like this and I've been driving for years. She'll sit in the passenger seat and I can see her start to tense up if I drive by parked cars. She keeps telling me to slow down or that I'm too close when I have plenty of room. I have to keep reminding her that it looks that way to her because of where she's sitting. I felt bad for Sassi's mum in that her car was totaled but I equally bad for Sassi because it must have been nerve wracking with her mum nitpicking everything. I don't think Sassi's learned to drive since and I can't blame her.
I'm still surprised that Manley drives because on the show Mia or Erin drove him everywhere. Remember when he tried to change the flat tire? Mia took one look at him and concluded that he'd be useless at the task.
One last driving point lol. I loved the scene in series 1 or 2 where Megan is having lunch with her mum and Big Mark shows up to give her a car for her 18th birthday present. He looked so happy to give it to her and she was so appreciative of it.
