Well from today Melissa is now on a full licence, which means she can carry passengers, drive at any time night or day, no restrictions, oh dear more worry for her parents, she is only 17 after all.
Still i am happy for her, she said the test was real hard, and she is glad it is all over with, we start off here in NZ with a learners, which you get in a theory test, and you can drive around with a person on a full licence (They have to have held it for over two years though),then a restricted, which means when you pass the practical test you can drive by yourself and in certain hours only, not after ten pm at night, then 18 mths later you can sit your practical full, which is what Melissa did today, but because she did a defensive drivers course she was able to sit it in 12mths.
Get this though the instructor asked where she did her defensive course, and was it by a guy called Gary, and then proceeded to tell her that he does not teach people what they the instructors want, great eh?
She also complained about Melissa's car being hot and smelling oily, i mean it is an older car for goodness sake,nice lady NOT., Melissa did put the air con on for her though.
Anyhow I am pleased she got it first time as with all her other tests and feel confident she is a good driver,she is going to be traveling up to the big smoke Auckland city in October taking her friends to Armageddon, something she is really looking forward to, of course it is nerve racking for her parents though,lots of traffic on a busy holiday weekend,she had driven a few times in Auckland , but her dad was always with her.Will i be worried YES.
