I need to learn how to drive

no good, no good at all. its good to know you are ok, and that you learned a lesson.

i dont think this is karma or anything else, you just arent experienced enough to know how to avoid this situation, or correct it if possible.

i doubt anyone here did when they got their first car…and some people even lost control like you. i know i was not experienced enough to drive the way i did when i first got my car, and luckily nothing like this happened to me.

this is why i think EVERYONE should compete in auto-x events, and do so in their own car or something similar. having experience with your car on the edge (or slightly past it) in a controlled environment has incredible value, especially if you are an enthusiast and plan on driving “spirited” in the street.
