Limpopo Teacher Given Tips by Nation Who Rallies Behind Her Attempts To Revive Driving Skills: "It's Scary"

• A woman who recently bought herself a car took herself back to driving lessons which she held at a nearby soccer field
• The woman drove through a mini-obstacle course she plotted for herself and didn't do well
• South Africans chipped in with some helpful words of advice on how to improve her reversing

The journey of Emeldah Hlungwane, the Limpopo teacher who refused to remove her learner's sticker on her new car, continues as she attempts to revive her driving skills.

Emeldah practised her reversing skills and almost failed to give herself a refresher course, and South Africans offered a helping hand by giving her tips.

Her attempt at reversing had a comical end, and the nation jumped in to advise her on how to go about the lessons.

@_emeldah's video on TikTok shows her reversing through a line of 20-litre water bottles which she lined up to practice her driving.

She backs the car up slowly and goes through the cones. She tries to turn the car in reverse and fails as the front wheels knock the water bottles to the ground.

Woman tells Briefly News about driving experience

Emeldah told Briefly News that she's recently started driving long distances.

"It's scary, but I'm not a quitter. Even though the car tends to go off-road, sometimes I'm not scared because my L sticker alerts drivers to overtake me while I try and restart the car. This is because my car switches off sometimes in the middle of the road, but drivers overtake me because of the sticker. I'm planning to do lessons for a month before I can travel to work with the car," she said.

South Africans offer helpless driver tips

Netizens gave Emeldah helpful counsel on how to reverse the car.

Kholofelomafatle advised that she uses a landmark to create a line of sight.

"To make your reversing easier, have something you use as a reference; if you cannot see that thing, then it means you'll bump."

Zodwa said she must take note of her side mirrors.

"Position your mirrors correctly. Once you don't see the bottles, uyowashayisa. Make sure your mirrors give you a clear view."

Helen Shalati Shiks was a spectator of note.

"Not me shouting, 'don't turn,' 'yes, straight'."

Sharon Magabane Mots wished her luck.

"I foresee danger here."

Pulane had hope.

"Within a month, you'll be fine."
