I remember during my first solo circuit many years ago a twin cut across in
front of me on downwind. I stomped on the brakes so hard that if the
Cherokee hadn't had something similar, I swear I would have torn the control
horns off the rudder.

Along similar lines, my first attempt to taxi an airplane found me
weaving back and forth across the taxiway as I tried to steer with the
yoke. Yes, I knew to use the rudder pedals to steer but that didn't
stop me from going to the yoke on several occasions early on.

I think we all did that at least once. I did it the first time in a T-39.
