Taking the Driver's Test

[Alysser]

So, tomorrow I'm taking the driver's test to get my Provisional License. I don't really know why I am announcing this, but I'm excited. I want to be able to drive without my parents and the yelling It's mostly my mom, who claims I don't stop at stop signs She once told me to stop in the middle of an intersection because "A car was coming on my left, illegally", and when I didn't she got mad. Sorry, mom, I don't think stopping in the middle of an intersection is a good idea either. But anyway, I'm kind of nervous. If I fail, it'll be two weeks before I can try again. My friends all told me I won't and my parents admitted I'm not that bad a driver so we shall see I thought I'd announce it to the world because I'm pretty excited.

of course it is something to be excited about and thanks for sharing it with us, i remember when my girl was sitting her's it seems so long ago now, but it really isn't ,i was as nervous as if it were me sitting it.

Good luck and I am sure you will pass, let us know how you get on, thinking of you.

Good Luck!!! Remember to Relax. It's not a big deal if you fail so just do your best and you'll likely be very pleasantly surprised.

I remember, how excited I was when I took mine, just like it was yesterday.
There are dates that stand out for me and drivers test was one of those. Hard to believe it was over a half century ago. Good luck on your test.

Oh I can remember how exciting it is as well! And a bit nerve wracking, lol!

You will do fine. Best of Luck!

Good luck Alyssa, I'm sure you'll do great! I took my test in March, and I totally hit the curb pulling out of the DMV. It's funny now, but I was so upset at the time!

Good luck, never forget to wear your seatbeat and have fun.

Good luck and remember to always stop at stop signs or it's about $105 ticket. One morning I was speeding and I flew right past a stop sign and got pulled over.

Luckly he just gave me a written warning so I was very lucky and now I stop at every stop sign.

Thank you guys! I passed with flying colors I can't believe I was nervous for that, it was so EASY! I just got in the car, did the parallel parking and K-turn and that was literally it. I could've done it with my eyes closed. Best part? I don't have to go to school today

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Now you can really enjoy your day. Hi to Mikey!

[Taz_Zoee]

Well, I didn't see this in time to wish you luck. But apparently you didn't need it!
Way to go!!

[caseysmom]

Congratulations! They don't make the kids parallel park here anymore but I remember having to do it.

Be careful out there I don't want anything to happen to my daughter

Well done Alyssa, sounds like you did perfectly! Wow, things are so different over there. Do you have to take another test to get the 'full' license? Over here, you only need to apply for the provisional to be sent to you in the post, which allows you to take driving lessons, and then you take the test for the full license when you feel ready (and spent one heck of a lot of money paying the instructor ).

Congrats! I remember the day that I passed my drivers test and I was so excited!! Just try not do talk on the cell phone while driving because it's very dangerous. But I'm glad you passed and congrats again!!!

[Alysser]

Thank you, guys! It's nice that I no longer have to depend on my parents to drive me everywhere! I can only drive 1 friend though, for 1 year - kind of annoying but I still have freedom! :P Mom, I promise I'll be careful, and Anikaca thank you I know I doubt I will ever use my phone when I'm driving I always put it in the back seat, thanks for the advice though


Yes, Zara it does seems alot different. No, you don't have to take a test to get your full license - you just automatically get it a year after your provisional. Before you get your provisional, you have to have a permit and you can't drive alone only with your parents so it's annoying. We have lessons to get our permits.
