Find a designated driver to practice driving

In about five minutes, Xu Ning arrived at the starting point of the DiDi Designated Driving order.

It was indeed a Female Driver, and a young, beautiful one at that.

However, what puzzled Xu Ning was that the area around her car was completely open, with no obstructions, so there was no reason she couldn't get out!

Could she have made a mistake, and the actual destination wasn't at the current location?

"Hello, DiDi Designated Driving at your service."

"May I ask what your destination is? I see that the starting point and destination are the same on the order details!"

Xu Ning greeted her politely, then voiced his confusion.

The Female Driver was probably in her early 20s, very pretty, and her attire wasn't that of a career woman; it leaned more towards sporty casual, making her seem like a student who had just left the ivory tower.

"Um, I didn't call for a designated driver..."

"No, no, I'm not saying I didn't call for a designated driver, I'm saying I don't need designated driving service..."

The girl seemed a little embarrassed, smiling as she tried to explain, but what she said felt a bit off.

A big question mark involuntarily appeared above Xu Ning's head.

Are you calling for a designated driver or not?

It was only after the girl quickly explained that he suddenly understood.

In reality, the girl didn't actually need designated driving service; she just wanted to find a driving coach.

She had only recently gotten her driver's license and, after practicing for a few days, felt confident driving during the day, but she was still a bit nervous about driving at night due to poor visibility.

So, she wanted to find an experienced driver with good skills to sit in the passenger seat and guide her.

Although there were many services specifically offering this kind of driving coaching, it was a bit too late today, and several she tried calling didn't answer.

A thought suddenly struck her: designated drivers usually have good driving skills, so she simply called a designated driver through the platform.

"Don't worry, I'll pay you market price."

"200 yuan for an hour and a half!"

"How about it?"

The girl looked at Xu Ning with anticipation.

This was indeed the normal price for a coach; he had heard it was 200 yuan for two hours during the day and 200 yuan for an hour and a half at night.

Per unit of time, this paid much more than designated driving, so Xu Ning naturally had no reason to disagree.

"Cancel the designated driving order; I'll coach you!"

Saying this, Xu Ning walked around to the other side, opened the car door, and sat in the passenger seat.

The girl happily got into the car, gave Xu Ning a sweet smile, then started the engine and set off.

Since he was being paid, Xu Ning naturally took his responsibilities seriously, continuously explaining the precautions for night driving to the girl from the start, while also correcting her driving errors.

"On city roads, with ample streetlights, there's no need to use high beams; otherwise, it will affect vehicles ahead and oncoming traffic."

"If you notice the lights of an oncoming vehicle are too strong, that means they're using high beams!"

"At this point, you can flash your high beams twice to remind them to turn off their high beams."

"If the car behind you is using high beams, you can repeatedly turn your hazard lights on and off to alert them."

"These are all unwritten rules of the road, generally accepted by everyone."

"Look, the car behind you is flashing its high beams at you, what does that mean?"

"This is a single-lane road, and you're driving too slowly; he wants to overtake."

"At this point, if you don't want to speed up, you can move slightly to the right, giving the car behind you space to overtake."

"Yes, just like that!"

"However, if the car behind doesn't overtake but keeps its high beams on, and you remind him but he still doesn't turn them off, then I'll tell you what to do!"

"Immediately slow down and pull over, let the car behind get in front of you, then follow him and directly blast him with your high beams until he's blinded!"

"There are always some people who only care about their own convenience and completely disregard others' feelings; you absolutely don't need to be polite to such people!"

When he said this, even if Xu Ning wasn't gnashing his teeth, he was certainly not calm.

He wasn't prone to road rage; even if he was cut off while driving, he wouldn't get overly agitated.

But when it came to high beams, he truly detested them.

Especially those 'high beam dogs' who turn on high beams as soon as they turn on their lights, and nothing can stop them.

Whenever he encountered them, Xu Ning would absolutely transform into a road judge, educating them on how to drive through his actions.

The girl was multitasking, listening to Xu Ning speak while carefully driving, appearing a bit flustered.

It couldn't be helped; all new drivers were like this, they needed time to complete the transformation from novice to experienced driver.

"When passing through intersections, you can appropriately reduce your speed to avoid being unable to react in time if a pedestrian suddenly appears."

"Also, be sure to carefully observe electric bikes; they are the people who least follow traffic rules."

"If you really hit one, even if it's their fault, as vulnerable parties, they can still leave you helpless."

Just then, an electric bike darted out from the side, startling the girl into an emergency stop, which seemed to confirm Xu Ning's words.

Xu Ning was also startled, and couldn't help but want to open the window and curse.

Riding an electric bike, running a red light, and crossing the road like that, are you tired of living?

You should just go out in the morning from now on, because something will happen sooner or later!

The girl, still shaken, clutched her chest, looking frightened.

However, her movement highlighted the pride in her chest, making Xu Ning, who inadvertently saw this scene, unable to help but feel parched.

To alleviate the awkwardness, Xu Ning urged the girl to quickly continue driving, so as not to waste time.

It quieted down a bit, allowing the girl to concentrate on driving and find her rhythm; he would only speak up to remind her if there was a problem.

Suddenly, Xu Ning noticed a bicycle in the rightmost lane ahead, slowly cycling.

Looking at this somewhat abrupt bicycle, Xu Ning couldn't help but frown slightly.

There was an auxiliary road to the right of the green belt, and currently there were no cars on the auxiliary road, so the bicycle should be cycling on the auxiliary road.

Yet, it was brazenly on the motorized vehicle lane, and cycling so slowly; it felt very suspicious, didn't it?

He glanced at the right side mirror, but due to the angle, he didn't see anything.

But he remained very alert; just as he was about to turn to look to the left, he saw the girl turn on her left turn signal, intending to merge left to overtake the bicycle.

"Don't move!"

"Don't merge!"

Xu Ning shouted anxiously, his voice much higher.

The girl was startled, quickly straightened the steering wheel, and stopped merging.

Before she could ask Xu Ning what had happened, Xu Ning had already spoken.

"Look in your left side mirror; is there a car in the left lane trailing behind you?"

The girl didn't even need to look in the mirror to answer this question, because she would have definitely checked her mirrors before merging.

"Yes, there's a car, but that car isn't going fast, I can completely change lanes," the girl said, a little puzzled.

Xu Ning's eyes narrowed slightly, and he let out a cold laugh.

"At that car's current speed, you can certainly merge!"

"But what if, the moment you change lanes, he suddenly accelerates?"

"He could definitely crash into you!"
