Dear Mr Michaels,
Firstly I just want to say I hope you have fully recovered
from your latest motor related setback. You know I think it’s amazing how
people are quick to judge you and take the piss, but I’m not going to jump on
that bandwagon today George (Don’t mind if I call you George do you?) as I have
total sympathy for you.
Last Christmas I was out learning to drive with my then
girlfriend, it was going well, in fact too well, I thought I was absolutely
flawless, I felt alive, almost like I was driving towards the edge of heaven,
but within moments I went from thinking I was Jesus, to a child, because for
some inexplicable reason I decided to lean over and mutter sweet nothings in my
girlfriends ear, it turned out to be a careless whisper, because suddenly wham!
Straight into a bollard, I tried spinning the wheel frantically but it was too
late. Maybe if I had gone a different corner it wouldn’t have happened but
what’s done is done, luckily no one was seriously injured. If only I had a father
figure to turn to now because the problem I have is I’m afraid to get back in a
car and learn to drive, but it is something I need to do, it gives you that
freedom to do what you want. I should at least give it one more try, I just
need to have a bit of faith in myself.
I guess the point I’m trying to make George is that everyone
has done something stupid in a car whether that be as a driver or a passenger,
so don’t feel like you’re alone in this. If you ever need someone to talk to
about it, I’m your man.
All the best
Ollie Trout
