Tomorrow at a very early bloody 9:30 in the morning, I shall endeavor to get my driver's license. If I do, i'll be a very happy camper. If I don't, i'll have waisted 36 dollars, and once again dissapointed myself and my parents.
Wish me luck!

Driving instructors should NOT be allowed to take people out for thier tests when they're PMSing. She got me on a whole bunch of REALLY picky things that wouldn't have mattered anyway. I HATE THIS.
Now I have to reschedule for two weeks ahead and take it again, and pay the 36 dollar exam fee again....
And things are VERY expensive in CT... the license itself costs 44 dollars.

Second time around, I did everything myself, and had a different tester, and things went fine.
If you can, get another tester.

When we got back to the testing center, he told me I passed with a 96% (Whoo, hoo!) and then went to take my driver's license picture... this is the coolest thing about him: He ekpt retaking my picture until he got one that I looked REALLY good in! Awesome! *L*
I lucked out BIG time... hehehe... all of my other firneds had BAD testers ;-)

When my dad got his first driver's license (state of Arkansas, 1940, no picture), his dad gave it to him as a 16th birthday present. No test, no exam, no nothing. My grandfather went to town, bought a license for his son, and handed it to him.
Wierd, huh?

I did'nt do it.
The first time, the guy failed me for something trivial like slowing down a little early on left and right turns. At the end of the test, he told me to go to this other test centre at South Yardley the next time. It turned out that he was usually testing at South Yardley, but was only at my test centre that day because someone else was ill. The sonofabitch was trying to create more business for himself at the other test centre. I complained, nothing was done.
The second time round, I failed on the emergency stop, yes, I know "How could you fail on the emergency stop"?
I was waiting for him to say the word, when he did, I hit the brakes, the car skidded but I didn't release and reapply the brakes - that as they say was that.
The third time round, I failed in the first few seconds because when I was about to pull away, I stalled the car. This created quite a big row of cars behind me and I was failed on that and two other serious errors later on.
AND NOW! Yes, the fourth time. The first three were at home, but this test was when I was at university. The test centre was easy and the examiner was really good. I passed, despite trying to pull away at the start with the car in neutral. He said I made five minor errors and no major or dangerous, so I finally had my licence.
It took me over 50 lessons and four tests, but I got there.
