Hey Nevaeh, when you mentioned your home schooling, you also mentioned "working from home". Do you mean the work you do for this channel?

[@BrianNellis-ts5ce]

Newer cars, once the nozzle clicks. Do not squeeze more in. That's what happens. Lol

[@michaelorosco1436]

Oh, by the way, when you spray on the Armor All tire foam, there's no need to wipe it off. The foam lifts and removes dirt and polishes at the same time. Have a blessed day miss!🙏

[@arthurkallansrud1950]

​@@BrianNellis-ts5cecc 😊 xxx x

[@mrmike115]

Yeah, don't squeeze the handle again after it klicks off to pull it out . Lol 😊 just a tip you can even flop the of on the switch on the pump or where the pump slides in push it up that shuts the pump off!

[@TheStuppets]

Hey Neveah, Just a tip from a Grampa living in Georgia. When you get into your hot car open all the windows when the AC starts (for about 30 seconds) and let out the built up heat so the AC does not have to work so hard to cool you back down. If you ever have a sun roof, that lets the heat out even faster. It's good to have ME time, embrace it.

[@8acreshomesteadwithpugs66]

And it’s also a great habit to lock doors as soon as you get in and out. Doors locked when fueling. If you’re lucky only the driver door unlocks unless double pressed for opening of all doors. Always look into your back before getting in. Fairly sure your parents have said all this but still. My youngest is 17 and I’ve drummed it in. Be safe. Have fun. Drive awesome 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@juliehorney995]

Love your transparency m'lady. But how about waiting a good while to do videos while driving. Dividing one's attention is hard enough with mastered skills let alone new ones. You are so sweet!

[@MsLally5]

Also when the pump shuts off - it is full. Don’t continue to pump.

[@robertkoons1154]

Don't top off your car. It may make it more difficult to fuel as the filing systems may be damaged by overfilling. Just fill this the pump shuts off. You can search KZbin and see why not.

[@m1v1per95]

yeh and gas is dangerous

[@m1v1per95]

ah i see we got back to the gas yes go cleanse of the fuel

[@1952bigjohna]

Nevaeh, you are so funny. I just laughed continuously for 11:25 minutes, you remind me of a mix between your mum and dad. Please don't lose your sense of humor. Youth is so unique.

[@NevaehSouza]

Thank you! Hahah

[@kenc1800]

Nevaeh your self-talk and independence and “finding” your official driver’s license very cute. But the video at the gas pump was priceless! Keep them coming you put a SMILE on my face!

[@ksoonsoon]

Exactly.

[@lindaarnold3091]

Hilarious! You are so cute! Great sense of humor😂

[@lindaremillard2604]

Great to see you stepping out for your first outing.

[@Terry-f7z]

Hey Nevaeh, I've been fortunate enough to be married to a comedienne here in the UK for over 20 years and I know natural talent when I see it. I love your parents videos but you have that extra something, hard to explain but your comic timing is absolutely spot on and seemingly effortless. You will be a star on KZbin at the very least, but really show business will be your natural habitat and with the brilliant grounding your parents have given you, success I'm sure will be guaranteed. My family wish you the very best of luck in all that you do, God Bless & carry on what you are doing, you are awesome, my daughters words, echoed by us all.

[@NevaehSouza]

Thank you!

[@kenc1800]

I totally agree! She isa natural!

[@Loesters]

😂 your little sister in sweet demon mode glitching thru the window was also: very hilarious!! You and your family has humour on your side for sure!! And: nice driving, you going places that adore you! 🧚‍♀️❤

[@lennyclark7014]

Accidents like at the gas station can happen, don’t let it get you down. Sometimes we have to make mistakes when nobody is around, to have the confidence to fix it ourselves.

[@celiarosa7599]

Believe me, your not the only one😂😅

[@SagebrushRambles]

She didn't make a mistake though. The cashier said that that dispenser "did that sometimes." By law the gas station is supposed to get all dispensers serviced if they do idiotic stuff like spewing gas.

[@Mark_4_Now]

@@SagebrushRambles Yes she held the gas dispensing lever down while pulling the nozzle out...next time hopefully she will not do that.

[@tetedur377]

@@Mark_4_Now Yeah, I saw that. Rookie mistake. It happens.

[@Carrierock1]

I've pumped gas for a loooong time and haven't ever seen that much come spewing back out. Some, yes, but that was a lot!

[@flamingomtn]

This was adorable. I never have thought about what it's like to be home-schooled for your whole life and live far from town. I've always had things in walking distance. I hope you learn to love being alone, as that will be a healthy step before you get into a relationship. We're all so proud of how well you're doing. Don't worry about the gas thing...we've all done it. It's like a right of passage.

[@kenc1800]

I love little Kira exchange “I give you money, you buy me gum”. So cute and adorable! Nice reaction for your car wash ad small talk with the grocery store cashier. Nice editing and tempo during your filming, self talk while driving AND parking. I love your new found freedom and playground enlightenment! Even the train responds was SO FUNNY. You made me laugh.

[@debbiebarnett1332]

Stepping into adulthood has a LOT of first. You are doing a great job facing and handling these first. I loved how you did several different things by yourself. You are an amazing young lady!!

Remember you have more confidence than you know you'll do great

[@erinbarrow4819]

Things will get better that's how you learn from mistakes your doing great nevaeh

[@josepherwin5122]

Hey Nevaeh! I’m a guy with over twenty years of transporting automobiles. In the heat of summer, start your engine, turn your a/c up to Max (make sure the mixer is set to recirculate, so you’re not trying to cool off hot air from outside) and put the driver’s door window down about three inches, get out and close the door for a minute or two. I used this trick for years on hot vehicles that were parked in the heat, and if the a/c worked properly(not always the case) it would force the hot air out through that open window. Leaving the window down a bit also leaves you space to get your arm in…just in case the car auto-locks itself (I learned that part the hard way.) Also, when fueling, always give the pump about five to ten seconds to clear before you pull it out of the tank inlet. Sometimes when you top off your tank it builds up pressure in the inlet pipe. And make sure you never pull the nozzle trigger while your taking it out. Happy motoring!

[@leeannnelson1612]

You are adorable! Keep going out by yourself that’s how I over came my fears.

[@silentepsilon888]

I guess the next trip into town will be for new sandals - the ones without the lawnmower scent. By the way, I suggest not to top off your gasoline tank, especially when the nozzle is still pushed in all the way. You saw that big round seal disk at the end of the nozzle that seals against the tank opening. It is designed to create a tight seal to prevent gasoline fumes from escaping into the environment during fueling. When you pull the pump trigger one last time after the nozzle has already shut itself off, it forces gasoline into the tank and puts it under pressure and as soon as that pressure gets too high, the fuel will come shooting out as soon as you try to remove the nozzle. Topping tanks off almost always leads to gasoline spills. Also, while topping off with older cars is not a big problem, newer cars with sensitive emission regulation sensors and electronics should never get topped off because it can create problems with the evap sensors that measure or detect evaporation leaks. Especially on hot days where the gasoline expands inside the tank, there must be empty space remaining for the gasoline to expand and not pressurize the tank and filler line, gas cap etc. The best practice is to pump until the nozzle shuts off by itself and then let it be good at that.

[@julianadams3738]

Well done Nevaeh, always scary at first but with each outing your confidence will grow.

[@grammysue7355]

Oh girl you did great! The gas situation happens to the best of us.

[@ksoonsoon]

Also, I want to support and encourage the comment from another subscriber of how valuable self talk is. It helps you think through things, put the right amount of priority on some things, and take priority away from other things that shouldn’t have it. It is a good way to get perspective from your self. Talking to yourself makes you be more comfortable in your own skin, which is a huge part of getting through life and enjoying it, which is the goal. All the best.

[@NevaehSouza]

Thank you!

[@ambassadorlight3146]

Yes and don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy😉

[@ksoonsoon]

@@NevaehSouza You are so welcome. Another suggestion, I see several people on KZbin have a link on their description to something that they call, “buy me a coffee” which lets some of your readers and subscribers give a little bit back to you in appreciation of the content you produce. I would suggest you add that as well, and then, as part of maybe a little bit of content, go have a coffee (coke or whatever) and say thank you to a couple of the people that contributed. That would be kind of cool. Don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody do that yet. Be well and enjoy your independence and your quiet time when you can get it. LOL

[@anniejones5806]

Be careful out there if a care bump in a place where there is no one don't stop. Keep some tear gas on you.

[@cathymichaels3784]

I love your raw honesty as you start to experience life out on your own. Scary and liberating at the same time! Keep being you!❤

[@detcordxxxi]

When you get in a hot car, roll all the windows down to let the hot air out so your car will cool faster. If you spill gasoline on your skin, just wash with soap and water at the gas station restroom. That you can avoid any irritation if you have sensitive skin. You can also use body wipes that you use when camping. I keep a pack in my car in case I spill. I also keep a couple towels in my car to wipe off any spilled fuel from my car's paint. Best bet is to not top off. Once the pump clicks off, just pull the nozzle out. Great to see you out in the wild! Keep it up! All things come with time!

[@sooner6012]

Windshield sun screen, outside mounted ventshades (Amazon), and a towel over your steering wheel. The ventshade will allow to leave window open a little and no rain will get in. Just a little info from hot and humid Oklahoma. ❤

[@mikesherrett8928]

Love your posts. You have a wonderful sense of humor AND timing. Stay safe in whatever you do.

[@awkwarddude]

You did very well for your first trip out by yourself! Brought to mind my first time out with my license "elevedy and scateyeight years ago"! Another quick tip, in warm weather, never top off your gas tank. That's what can too easily happen. One static spark or a stray "source of ignition" nearby can ignite those extremely flammable and explosive gasoline vapers. You could have been severely injured. When the nozzle clicks off the first time, don't squeeze it to the second stop. You don't gain that much. So be safe!

[@LorraineDennison1960]

I am 63 and can still remember my first drive by myself. Thankfully it gets easier. 🥰

[@amycagle5793]

Well, Nevaeh, you must be the cutest, most mature teenager on KZbin! Thank you so much for taking us along with you. I know you are used to your family filming on a regular basis, but I think it takes a lot of courage to document your experiences. I really appreciate your sense of humor. Also, Kira in the window was absolutely hilarious! The 1st time I got sprayed by the pump, I was at the store where I worked at the time. Now that's embarrassing! You are doing great! You got this! I hope you find some happiness in being alone now & then, it's a great educator.

[@bobsundance9297]

You are a treasure! You're honesty is so refreshing and entertaining. The gas pump was too funny, im afraid, but the fact you shared it all tells a lot about you. PLEASE stay this sweet and humble and you will live a happy life. Life will for sure get complicated and challenging, but I have total confidence that you will weather the trials of life with success. Your parents I'm sure are proud of you and I'm impressed with your parents. Call me a Fan. You're so refreshing, so stay that way and don't get discouraged with the unavoidable pains in life!

Congratulations!!! You are such a hoot!! As a long time Youth Pastor, one of my joys is hearing students describe their stories of their new found freedoms! However this is the first time someone recorded their Independence Day outing! SOOOOO COOL! Well done, and thanks for the ride along! My fav moments are; your mom telling you to call at every moment, your sis Kirra staring in your window and the best was, I'm gonna change lanes and camera crash!! Thanks again for sharing!!!

[@kathleenkrein6464]

When there are hot temperatures outside, please do not top off the fuel tank. (Fuel needs room to expand in high heat). You can put hose into fueltank, then press pump handle until it clicks to load fuel into fueltank. It will hold in that position. If you use a medium flow force, then it will shut off automatically when it foams near the tank neck. You can stand at the pump with one hand or finger on car (to dislodge static so no spark occurs or when you pick up the fuel nosel when regrabbing fuel pump handle to stop flow. Listen & you can hear pitch change of fuelflow near fuel tank neck. Now aware of this, I am sure you will hear it next fill up. When rainy, cold, &/or icy outside, remember to remain with pump while fueling. If bad weather & you must go inside car to thaw out before tank is full, you MUST be sure to make hand contact car to de-static yourself before reaching for the pump handle. Also yet take Dad with you to an empty parking lot to learn how you & car react to wet roads, snowy roads, icy roads concerning breaking in those conditions without other vehicles Always drive defensively & leave both time & space for the incorrect or dangerous actions of others & then you will be fine. Limit distractions (radio music or even talking with other passengers). If an animal runs across the road, please do not swerve. Keep eyes moving left to right & keep check of vehicles ahead (you following a vehicle), & behind (vehicles following you on road...break slowly). Talk with Dad about handling a tailgating vehicle before the next outing. Keep 1 second for every 10mph plus an extra second if 1/2 that mph , & 1 second more if sun glare or twilight or wet road or snowpacked road or wet on top of ice. You will do fine. If you go with siblings, then all wear seat belts & please no eating or drinking in a car while driving because it could cause choking. [Sorry, it's the special needs school bus driver leaking out of me]. You will do fine, I am sure. Always verify tips with Dad ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.

[@HannahSpring]

To "stretch your legs" (drive) for the first time is fantastic, no one else annoying you, music to the max, and nibblies to yourself, but trying to bath your self in "go-go juice (fuel) was priceless, most of us have done that, enjoy your freedom young lady

I hope that you have many more wonderful adventures and a lifetime of exploring (safely!) your freedom. And hey, even though I don't really know you, I'm proud of you! Many bright blessings in your new found freedom.

[@kd2eat]

It looks like in the heat of the moment you mixed up two things. The gas had stopped. So, you have to squeeze the handle to make that little notched holder disengage. Then you need to fully release the handle. If you want to top up the gas a little, to make your charge a nice round number, you can squeeze the handle a little to let more gas in, and then fully release it. So, you appeared to do both at once. You squeezed the handle as you were removing the filler. The notched thingie popped back out, and then you released a little, and squeezed again, which caused more gas to flow as you were pulling the filler out. So, just remember it's two steps. First, do a squeeze to make the auto-fill notched doohickie release, and then fully release the handle. Then, if you want to squirt a bit more gas in, you can do quick little squeezes of the handle, and the overshoot by a few cents, like we all do. hehe. Just make sure you're not pulling the handle up as you remove the filler, and you should be fine. Honestly, since you're paying by card anyway, I wouldn't bother with the top-off squeezes. When it pops, just squeeze once to disengage the notched thing, release the handle and pull it out. In some states, like California, you can't even do the top-up thing. The filler will prevent you from pumping more gas once the auto-cutoff stops the gas the first time. Sorry for the drama, but glad there was ultimately no harm done other than a scare and some stinky clothes. Best of luck as you learn about the world without the whole family in tow. I'm sure it's really disorienting!

[@tombrandt8137]

Very cute, fun and entertaining. Thanks for the ride along. I now have more faith in our younger people than ever... 78 yr old viewer.

[@lifelongconservative3338]

You brought back so many memories for me when I was your age. Growing up at the Ranch and Farm I had to learn how to drive cars, trucks, tractors, combines starting at age 12 until I joined the service after high school. I envy your ability to find solace for your personal time with yourself. That is what I cherish the most now that I'm 50 years in to today. Keep doing what your doing; you're doing just fine.

[@earlribaudo4807]

Great video for the first time by yourself. One hint do not top your gas off. When it shuts off, it is as full as the car wants it to be. Gas expands in the heat, putting more than the car wants will expand the gas and could still come out the fill. all so, your mother said you tend to ride on the right white line. Try lining the middle of the hood with the right white line, that should put right in the middle of the road. You may have to adjust a little bit one way or another but it works ninety nine percent of the time. Have fun and stay safe.

[@teamground0229]

I still have memories of my first solo drive in my van. 45 years ago, gasp. I think I bought cookies also. You are so slick with your transition from studying in a coffee shop to advertisement. Pro tip - don't top off, it causes damage over time to your car's evap system = money spent to fix it. Does Idaho allow you to drive with other peers? Illinois restricts it to family and 1 non-family minors. Next trip with your best friend.

[@Frank-pe9pk]

Life is so different from the time I was your age in 1973. First in Florida summers it was always in the 90’s. Our first cars didn’t have a/c, am/fm radio, no cellphone, laptops or dad’s credit card. Enjoy your videos, and struggle.😂

[@patdavis8018]

When the gas clicks off, don't put anymore gas in it and you will never splashed again. Plus, it's suppose to be bad for the automobile. Talk to your dad about it. You did wonderful on the parking on the 1st try. You drove very well for your 1st time out also. Great job Nevaeh 🎉🎉🎉

[@leslietarboxjr4287]

Nevaeh, you did a wonderful job for your first time. The sense of freedom when you can just hop into your car and go for the first time will stay with you for a lifetime. I am glad that you made several stops and did different things along the way, it is a good experience and gives you a feeling of self-worth. Alone time is pretty nice, but nothing beats doing it with family. Gas shooting out of the gas tank happens to everyone at one time or another so now you have joined an elite group with gas on your clothes. You are so funny, and it makes your videos extra special. Loved that your mom was sitting on the porch waiting for you. All good parents do that and won't fall asleep until they hear you come at night. God Bless you and keep you safe in your travels.

[@crisunderwood9156]

Some cars just shouldn't be 'topped off'... A piece of advice I wish I had know for years. Best time to get gas is early morning and dispense slow. Putting it in fast causes the gas to foam and you don't get the full tank you pay for. When the pump shuts off it's done. I so love your videos. Take it slow & easy.

[@SmokeyBandit97]

You did great for your first time by yourself. The gas shooting out at you was hilarious. Just be safe and aware of your surroundings and you will be fine.

Nevaeh you did great. My daughter waited till she was 19 to get her driver's license. Her first time driving my truck by herself she filled it up with diesel. It was a gasoline engine. (eye roll). So a little gasoline on your slippers is nothing.

[@gilbertmercado462]

You were so good out on your own. It was adventurous you did well only next time you fill the gas usually when the pump stops it is usually topped off but if you feel need to put in a little more just make sure to squeeze the trigger lightly. It was a great learning experience and you did well. As you continue driving and being on your own you will get so accustomed to it that it will be like second nature to you. I remember doing that many many years ago at the age of 25. I am much older now LOL! Have a good and safe week.

Shopping for snacks is always Fun!! 🍭🍪🧋 Just a tip Nevaeh..... I'd take the elephant off of the dashboard and find a spot to strap it on the console. It's cute, but if for some reason it started rolling, your instinct might be to grab for it or just watch it and possibly take your eyes off the road. Enjoy your new found freedom... and stay safe. 🤩

[@ginagonzalez6547]

Hi Nevaeh, your adventure was funny. You reminded me of when I had my first car. Don't worry, eventually you will be so confident driving and being on your own that you might want to travel long-distance and be ok with it. You did ok for the first time. You did not panicked for every little thing which is good. Pat yourself on the back. You did it. Yeahhhh!!!!

[@freedomofspeech361]

Rule of thumb; When pumping gas set the hand lever on low, stay there and wait for the click, then hang the pump back in the spot on the fuel pump. don't overfill. Besides this mistake, hang in there kiddo you did great with everything else. Smile

[@Lyn4817]

Always rinse the fuel off after it overflows. It is highly flammable, it will damage the paint work on your car overtime. Make sure you remove the car keys when filling your tank with fuel. Leaving the keys in the ignition could lead to your car being stolen.

[@flybywire5866]

I went getting fuel in my first car. Everything went smoothly. I sat down in the drivers seat and closed the door. A car door is basically a box made from two shells. On the top is an opening for the window, so on the top the shells are only connected front and back. The welding in the front broke and the door shells opened towards the front of the car like a book.😳 I sat there stunned, and aware i could not drive this way, it would have ripped the outer shell of the door off. 😨 So now what. Others were looking and laughing their butts off. Luckily there was also a repair shop and they welded the broken weld. All i had to do was painting the spot afterwards. That was in summer of 1984, half a year after i got my driving license. I never forgot this.

[@wallykramer7566]

The gas tank "back firing" is an uncommon situation. Probably the next 50 times you do the same things it won't do that. You can decrease the odds of it doing that by not giving a squirt after it has clicked off. (it is only 0.1 gallons anyway and not worth the difference.) Let it sit for 5-10 seconds after self-clicking at fill and the air pressure (formed by turbulent flow of gasoline into the tank) will dissipate. You will easily be able to outsmart the fuel pump the next time. Cheers!

[@mikev9432]

Nevaeh never be afraid to go anywhere you want, having a licence is like stepping out into the world to explore new places and see things that you haven't had time to do. Anyway well done on getting your licence it took me a few time to get through the theory test but l passed 1st time driving any good luck on your driving, and stay off the phone as it distracts you. Thank for sharing your looking beautiful with that smile. ❤️🙏🏻

[@ForgeAheadwithMike]

I've been a fan of your mom and dad's channel for a while (like you care, haha)... One tip - if you get food to go, take care of all your other stops first, then get food last so it stays hot as possible and, in this case, the pizza doesn't get too soggy. I did notice you squeezed the gas handle while you were taking it out, though. I did that when I was your age, too. ;) It's all part of life; live and learn.

[@wendyeesue]

Did you say Top Off when putting gas in the car? Usually means you went overboard with gas in the gas tank which causes to ruin the engine, When the nozzle makes a click sound means its done filling the gas tank for safety reasons. I watch "Scotty Kilmer" mechanic video in you tube to educate how to maintain a good car. Good video, making memories

[@rachaelgreen6417]

[@cherylcawthon3097]

Just a idea...to cool your car off. Get a front window.shade. Next roll down all the windows when you get in the car. The start your car and drive about 5 minutes. Then roll all the windows. What this does chases the hot air out.

[@jerryking9333]

So great you have gotten your freedom. Just be careful of your surroundings. I watch your parents build your house. Your Dad and mom are great role models so always keep their advice close by. Good luck with new adventures.

[@davidepool5884]

I started driving on the highway when I was 14. We had cattle on another farm about 5 miles away and I had to go check on and feed them while my father tended to more important things on our dairy farm. I had been refueling tractors for several years before that and I made a few mistakes along the way. You will get more comfortable driving and refueling your car. The main thing is to always watch out for other drivers and keep your eyes on the road and near the road for the wildlife. You did very well for your first time on your own.

[@pattiripley7599]

Just a tip. Don’t top off by trying to squeeze a tiny bit more in the tank. You’re only putting a bit in the line between cap and tank. It doesn’t make a big difference if you are monitoring gas tank properly anyway. (Don’t let below quarter tank rule I always follow) It can splash back like you had or cause a ‘vapor lock’ which can actually make the gas start draining back out. I never would of believed it myself but got gas one time went in and got groceries and when I came out half my tank was on ground. Nice older gentleman explained it to me and we had to just open the gas cap and recluse it to break the lock.I never did it again though.

[@Blopez383]

Hello Nevaeh! Yeah the gas spit up has happened to the best of us. I recommend to keep wipes in the car or go to the bathroom to wash up. Good thing your not allergic. Be safe as always. Keep on trucking

[@DebReed54]

I can so relate. My grandson just got his license and 1st car. And I remember missing my big family them when I moved out on my own.

Loved this video. You are such a joy to watch. I am 71 years old and a couple of years ago that gasoline thing happened to me. I asked the gas station attendant for some paper towels and cleaned up a little but the lady that worked there said it was my fault I didn’t know how to pump gas I’ve only been pumping gas for 30-40 years but all you can do is shrug, laugh and keep on going. Have fun with your new found freedom and stay safe!

Hey Neveah, don't top off the tank after the hose shuts off: some vehicles will draw gasoline into the EVAP system resulting in damage. You're doing great. Hang in there, have fun, and be safe!

[@jimcoplan9502]

Nice road trip. Be sure to screw in the gas cap every time. Also, wait a few moments before removing the nozzle from the car. Life is good :)

[@deborahmitchem2300]

Great first solo trip, keep it up! You’ll get more comfortable with it. Also, put some baby wipes and napkins in the car, they’ll come in handy for all the things! Congratulations on your first solo adventure!

[@milo341951]

Great video. I know you must be happy being a young person. You did very well on everything. When putting gas into your car always stand to the side of the fill hole and if gas shoots back you’ll be in the clear. I fill my cars until the nozzle clicks off that way the gas in the tank has room to expand.

[@thinkhector]

Great editing. I can't believe no one mentioned how cool you made it look putting on those sunglasses 😎

[@NevaehSouza]

Thank you!! 😁

[@patricksherwin4130]

I have not laughed so much in a long time. (am glad you are safe)

[@beverlyt.5526]

Neveah whenever you're alone at a park like that keep either a pocket knife or mace with you!!! Carwashes are fun!!! So Many Firsts For You, Very Exciting!!!

[@jimdelong949]

I think you did a great job on your first independent trip. The few setbacks you had were just lessons learned as many more will be. That's growing up. You made it back home safe. That's the main goal. Wishing you the best as you make (hopefully) many more solo journeys to even farther places.

[@jamesshade8845]

You got this. Don't over think things. Just be aware of what everyone else around you is doing. Don't assume they are going to do the right thing or what they are signaling they are about to do. Leave yourself enough space to react. I have seen people do most everything over the years. Some ended badly. Take things slow. Most things happen when people get in a rush because they didn't allow themselves enough time to get where they are going. Be safe out there.

I had 4 younger siblings! Know exactly about never being alone! I am 72 now, don’t live in the same city as my siblings… seldom see them! But we do talk to each other frequently. Both my younger brothers are in the hospital at the moment! Unfortunately they didn’t take good care of their bodies when they were younger, and still don’t eat properly! So sad to watch!

[@poull.sivebaekjensen4058]

Hey Nevaeh. Don't worry about others looking or smiling at you, when you are learning - they just remember how it was for themselves. Those who scowl at it just don't remember how it was. - Truly, learn it well now, and get it easier the rest of your life or don't learn it now and struggle with it the rest of your life.... You are doing everything well for a first timer, so don't worry... 😉

Nevaeh when you fill your car the grip on the filler should automatically stop pumping when you get to the top of the tank with fuel. Enjoy your trips and above all keep safe !! 🌹

[@lindasmith5496]

Nevaeh, when running the gas pump, never add more in because that will happen. The pump will pop releasing the trigger. You won't have to top it off because the sensor in the pump stops the filling of the gas at the right moment. I think the designers of the pump did it that way for ones safety. peace

Get your windows TINTED....... By blocking out UV rays, window tints can make the inside of a vehicle significantly cooler and more comfortable, particularly during hot summer months. Window tints also reduce glare from the sun for greater comfort for your eyes., plus it will save you on Fuel, Accident safety, Increased privacy, Improved comfort, ...... Oh another thing..... did you know that you can open your windows just by holding down your open switch on your key fob.? its a great way to release all the hot air inside quicker.

You are the greatest teen KZbinr, with the best family friendly videos. Fun and entertaining.

[@NevaehSouza]

Thank you!

[@imscanon]

Aww, this is just pure adorable. All these great new firsts for you. Lil tip: when pouring gas, hold the pump half pulled so it's not pumping out full force especially when it's hot. It'll put a lot of bubbles in the gas and you won't get as full a tank or all the gas you're paying for. And it'll spit at you like it did. lol Just go slower with the fill and it'll be fine, Proud of ya, you did great.

[@bobpatrick9134]

If you get gas on your skin, use the water hose at the pumps (there used to be these, i don't know if they are still there or not) and rinse your skin off. Gas and skin not a good combo. Nothing serious unless you swim in some gas, but more comfortable when rinsing gas off. I would not top off. Just my 2 cents. Good vid! Congrats on your first solo! 😁

[@jct300m]

Have your Dad check the vent tube on your gas tank. If its blocked or partially blocked by mud/Dirt Etc, it can cause the gas to back up the spout like you had happen..FYI

[@kohchenchen]

Love that you would bother to check, adjust your parking (even if people are staring) than to just leave the car in a position that is inconvenient for others! It's one of my little pet peeves =D

[@johnchristopher20]

It just brings me back 3 or 4 years to my daughter learning to drive and getting her license. Now she is a better driver than I.

[@KandMe1]

You bought back memories of getting my first pay. I spent a lot on cookies marshmellows and stuff. Anyway you got me laughing with the candy and cookies scene, I don't know why I laughed but you are funny. One thing I can suggest on the fuel hose; those things you can control how much is coming out of the nozzle; and you can hear when it is getting full if you take notice of that, so slow it down when it gets near full. Or alternatively put the exact amount of gas you want and leave it to fill automatically after you learn to go by how much fuel is showing on the gauage, you will get an idea of how much you need. That was very entertaining, the adventures of Neveah.

[@tijrus]

Enjoy and get comfortable with this season of "firsts". There are lots of firsts in life and how you react to them is life-changing. No pressure :) Thanks for creating your video...that was epic for us as a viewer and one day you will be happy to look back.

[@jddurbano4732]

Congratulations kiddo, you did awesome! J. D'Urbano, RRT (Retired)

[@judymassey4113]

You are a charmer. That is a nice complement. Good video. Was really fun experiencing your first day of independence. You go girl.

[@AJ-pq7qh]

Nevaeh, congrats on getting your license and what an exciting time and an awesome feeling with your new sense of freedom. Glad you made it safe back home. I love watching your whole family progress with home building etc. I’ve been driving over 30 years and it wasn’t until the last ten years I learned this. On the newer cars it’s never a good idea to top off the gas tank as it can lead to costly repairs. The engine light on your dashboard may light up warning you there is a problem. The evaporator system, charcoal canisters can get damage from over filling your tank cost a lot of money to fix. Never mind the nasty gas that spills on you makes it that much more unpleasant. Sorry that happened to you. Just stop filling up at the very first click. In the old cars back in the 70s or older, it was ok to top off. Not anymore. So searching on you tube on this topic may help you understand it better. Be safe out there, stay close to your family and keep singing your music. Blessings to your entire family.

[@TLM52]

Another great video Nevaeha you had two of the best teachers Ever in your mom (Melissa and Dad Jeremy) and your so confident with your camera skills as well!! 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯🙏🏻🌹🇨🇦🌹

[@Malcolm-r1p]

When you did all the work learning to drive, it was for a test. Now you will learn new things every time you go out, whether alone or with your family. For a first trip, you did very well, and it looked like you had great fun. The thing with the gas, you should pat yourself on the back that you did not put diesel in the tank. I hope you have many years of trouble free driving Nevaeh.
