It all started out like a normal day at work. I was working on some of my projects and then I decided to go on some sales with two of my coworkers. We headed off to the mall, which is where we were trying to sell ad space. I know what you're thinking, and yes, my job is very tough. ;)
Anyway, we spent the day at the mall and when it came time to leave, I had the keys in my hand. I was joking around about how I was going to drive back and I got in the front seat, expecting to see a stick shift but much to my surprise it was an automatic. I was really just kidding about the driving thing up until this point. Then I realized that both of my friends were sitting in the car - seat belts on.
I figured I might as well face up to to my fear of the Meridan streets and I stuck the key in the ignition. Plus I figured that if I managed to find the only automatic car in Merida, it must have been a sign.
So I took off down the street and I drove all the way back to the office just fine. I only gave my friends a near heart attack 3 times. Really the driving wasn't too bad at all because it wasn't very far, it wasn't busy and I didn't drive very fast. But let me tell you, those glorietas are not easier than stoplights!
My Lesson of the Day: When coming to a glorieta, there is only one rule: its my turn!

Hi Emily,
I bet you there are thounsands of automatic cars here in Merida.
Glorietas are a little difficult for new people in town, but once you manage it, is really simple.
Besides, glorietas are really more prettier than stoplights.
We love our glorietas, with the gardens and fontains in some of them.
The rule of thumb to enter a glorieta is this: what out for incoming cars to your left, if someone is coming just stop, otherwise you can move on and everybody else must stop and let you pass, just like that. Simple uh!
Reading your post about “facing your fear in driving” urge me to share a special report I found about the “10 Keys To Eliminating Fear of Driving”.
The Author Alex Hunter really showed expert knowledge and understanding not only in eliminating the fear in driving but also in building your confidence and skills in driving. This special report is perfect for people who are “afraid to drive” and who want to “face their fear in driving”
