I got my driver's permit! :D

You have heard right, ladies and gentlemen.

 

I had been intensely studying since yesterday. I left school early yesterday for my eye doctor appointment, followed by my test, but due to my eyes being dilated, I couldn't until today. Once again, I left early today (but not before crazy stuff happening, like this one girl having a seizure in my class... again, and a lockdown). Getting home, I studied for about half an hour or more. Once I felt I was prepared, we left. I brought my necklace I got from my dad as a good luck charm. (Lol, yeah, coming from me, the girl with bad karma.)

Arriving a place, we did the usual procedures. Signing stuff, showing certain requirements, etc. After I was done with that, I went into the back and started off with my eye exam. I don't know why my dilated eyes would have given me problems (other than the policeman might have thought that I was high on something), since the test was fairly easy. The most odd question I had was when two lights to the sides of my head were blinking, and he asked which side it was blinking on. (Me and my suspicions of trick questions.)

After that, I went ahead and took the written exam... or the electronic exam, I should say, or... whatever. There were thirty questions, and I had an hour to do them. They were simply easy. Don't know who would take over an hour to finish them, but oh well. One of the questions I had struggle with was something like this:

"You come to a stop at an intersection. To your right is a bicyclist. Who has the right of way?" Once again, I started thinking it was a trick question. Was he there before me, or was he finally arriving there? Another question involved an interstate highway. I stood there for a clear minute, thinking, "What's an interstate highway...?" because during the whole time, I was thinking of an intersection. (Too many inters, I say. :'D)

Next was a sign test. That was fairly simple too. I didn't have any troubles with it.

Finishing it, I went back to the police officer hesitantly, since I had no idea what to do next. That's when he gave me my papers for my permit, saying that I passed. (They didn't tell me what I got, though. >.>)

So, I went up to the front again, signing more stuff, getting my picture, and finally, my permit! Once we left, Mom and I went to Buffalo Bob's to celebrate. After that, we got some ice cream (which I remembered about just now. :'D Oops.). Mom dropped me off at home, I celebrated with the cats, and got on the computer. Now, here I am.

Quite a joyous day it was. I refuse to let anything ruin my mood. >83

Wayheyy, well done But since i'm not from the states, what's a driver's permit? Is it like the equivalent of a provisional license?

[Antrium 10]

Awesome! have fun and remember the number 1 rule:

 

PEOPLE ARE NOT BONUS POINTS!!!!! ALTHOUGH KIDS ARE A 1000 IN SCHOOL ZONES

It's like what you get before you officially get your license. I can drive, but only if an adult is with you. You have to drive a total of 60 hours; 50 in the day, 10 at night. You aren't completely independent until you pass the driver's test one year later and get your license.

Ahh so it is similar to our system. In the Uk, before you can drive you have a provisional license which means you have to have an adult with you while you drive, and you can only book your practical test after a 1 hour theory test which is really hard lol. we have to have at least 40 hours with a driving instructor as well, but you don't need to drive in the night

Also, you can only get your provisional when you're 17 :

 

P.S good luck Rose Riku!
