Thank you, Jebus

Sweet, sweet triumph. I finally passed the damn driving test and got my license (unconscionably late, but cars and I get along about as well as Jack Sparrow and dry land do). I am now the owner of a plastic card with a bad picture of myself on it, stating that I have successfully conned the state goverment into believing that I can drive well enough to be let out on my own.

Thank God, I never have to parallel park again. Or take the bloody test again. I am finally free to relax.

Congratulations! That's great!

Thanks. Mostly, I'm just vastly relieved that I no longer have to worry anout taking the test (or failing it). Though I've since discovered, driving with my Mom in the minivan today, that half my problems with driving may just be problems with my Dad's diesel truck. Christ, is the van easier to drive. The Mini-Cooper's probably easier to drive, too, but all I did in that was parellel park over and over, so I wouldn't know for sure.

Well that's good. Which will you be driving to work?

[elspethdixon.livejournal.com]

The minivan, definately. My dad needs the truck in order for him to drive to work, and no one drives the Mini unless my mom is in it.

Ah, that's good.

Wow

Thanks. Yeah, passing your driver's test wold make things so much easier for both you and your mom. My advice is to get yourself scheduled for some behind the wheel training with a local driving school--I did a couple hours at one before I went in to take my test, and it was a huge help, especially with the parallel parking (my mom doesn't know how to parallel park herself, since there's nowhere in my entire county where you need to, so I needed someone else to teach me).

That's AWESOME. And now we both need to gang up on Other Liz. [growls threateningly]

*nods* Yeah. If I can con the DMV into letting me behind the wheel of a car, anyone can.

*joins in the dance of driving* Alas, I work weekends at the airport, so working out a time to drive down to your place will be tough. I will, however, be in VA Beach the first week of August.
