EDIT: Samui, you flunked the road driving twice? It was easy for me ( I did have to do it three times though, first two I was a bit nervous and uneven, third time was smooth as I got used to it) Note that our road driving procedure goes as follows: You are required here to road drive twice, or you can take an optional third test if you want. I passed both twice, but took the third as I was nervous, and wanted to do it again. I was so calm the third time, that everything went smooth, except for a slight jerk when merging on the expressway.

It was Connecticut. You're required to take the law test, then the driven test. If you pass the written the first time, and fail the driving the first time, you have to wait...30 days, I think...but you don't have to take the law test a second time. Now, I had to do it through AAA, because if I do it through the DMV, I'd have to furnish my own car, which I don't have. So I had to wait longer than 30 days. The second time, I failed. Same old shit, just more...anal. I found that I only had to wait two weeks, but the next available date AAA had was six weeks, and it was way too close to my move-out date. I couldn't afford it anyways.

My main problem was, I never had any opportunity to practice. My mother never let me use her car to train me to drive. Work got in the way of whatever chances I had to practice with the one person who would let me practice. I only got two sessions of practice in, which I was lucky to get, but two wasn't enough. If I did it through AAA, I'd have to pay $50 an hour...with money that I did NOT have.

Well, fuck Connecticut now. I'm in California, and I intend on taking driver's ed once I am able to afford it.



Edit: Suffice it to say, I was mostly at fault. I waited too long to take it. I should have just taken it back in early 2005. I might have had more of a chance to pass, but I still wouldn't have had the practice that I needed other than the lessons that were included in the program.
