A Time When I had to Convince Someone of Something

A time when I had to convince someone of something was when I was trying convince my mother to let me drive her car. Trying to convince my mother to allow me drive her car was difficult because she was not aware that I have driven a car a few times when I was 12,13, and 14 with my father. So one day she took me driving. I was in awe because my mother had just told me a few days ago that she was not going to let me drive until I receive my temps. Thinking that I had no driving experience at all, my mother told me how to change the gears, which pedal was the accelerator and brake, and how much pressure I should apply to the accelerator so I would not move the car too fast. Even though I knew all of these steps, my mother was just making sure I knew how to control the vehicle to ensure my safety. After changed the gear to drive I pushed lightly on the gas and began to move the car slowly. My mother told me to make a left turn so I turned on my left turn signal and turned the steering wheel to the left.  I continued to drive around for a little more until my mother told me to put my foot on the brake to slow down the car. When I shifted the gear to park, my mother was very impressed with my driving skills and allowed me drive into our driveway.
