    passed mine the first time.
    "And one should bear in mind that there is nothing more difficult to execute, nor more dubious of success, nor more dangerous to administer than to introduce a new order to things; for he who introduces it has all those who profit from the old order as his enemies; and he has only lukewarm allies in all those who might profit from the new. This lukewarmness partly stems from fear of their adversaries, who have the law on their side, and partly from the skepticism of men, who do not truly believe in new things unless they have personal experience in them."
    ~ Niccolo Machiavelli

    Way 2 go Discovery!

    I got the minimum score to pass AND almost failed the eyesight test.
    I guess I'm just lucky like that. Anyone have any advice for the driving exam?

    I got no problems with that. No siezures ever and my eyesight's 20/16 (better than 20/20).

    Remember that I got my drivers license over 30 years ago, and I lived in a small town at the time.

    I wrecked my first car at the age of 4 - mom left me in a manual transmission at the top of a hill while she went inside I went for a ride.

    I wrecked my second, a truck, at the age of 13. While deer hunting I got a little drunk and hit a tree.

    Anyhoo, the point is that I drove a lot before I got a license. I drove trucks, a tractor, cars, even a train before I turned 16.

    The day I turned 15 and 7 months I drove myself to the DMV to take the test. I passed the written test with a very good score.

    When I went to take the driving portion I drove just like my dad, about 5 miles over the speed limit in town with one arm out the window waving.

    I drove down a narrow residential street, and just like dad taught me I drove kinda in the middle (there was no oncoming traffic) in case a kid or something jumped out from behind the parked cars that lined the street.

    I rolled through stop signs (as is the style out west).

    The inspector told me that I was way too confident and not nearly cautious enough, so he failed me.

    Here's where it got tricky. He asked me where my parents were - cause remember I drove myself to the test site - and he got suspicious and wouldn't leave me alone. I think he knew that as soon as he turned his back I'd drive myself home. I had to tell him that my mom dropped me and the car off and then had a friend take her back to work.

    I had to sit at the DMV until it closed (thankfully guv workers go home on time) before I could drive home.

    The second time I had to drive around like a scared geek. Looking twice in the mirrors, driving below the speed limit, pretending to be new at it. Then I passed.
