I went for mine on April Fools Day! I was sure it was a terrible omen. But the tester was such a nice guy. After I parallel parked (and hit the curb) I drove away with the emergency break on, and he kinda coughed and pointed and pretened he hadn't seen! I pulled over and fixed it and we were on our way again! I don't know how getting a liscence in the US works, but here you get points when you do somehting bad - called demerits. he didn't even count mine - he just wrote "pass" on the bottom of the form and told me to have a nice day! It was great!

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!
