Ah, the long-lived moment every teenager dreams of -- getting your driver's
license. (Actual dreams may vary). Having completed driver's education
and all, I didn't even have to do the learner's permit fiasco, nope, not
me... just head on in, fill out the form, a few tests, a driving test
on the open road, and viola! I'm a legal motorist in these United States
(and most foreign nations who recognize a U.S. driver's license, too).
Here begins my date with my destiny: to get a license
from the Department of Motor Vehicles.
DMV is still a bureaucratic place, so it all begins
with the forms, of course.
It's not an illusion -- the line at this DMV office
often extends outside. Today, it only had 25 people in it.
(no
pictures for these two, I'm afraid.. .they frown on that
sort of thing here, apparently)
From there, the written test... 90%! In your ear Tubby (he failed
the first time he took his, y'know.
And finally, the road test. The DMV dude wasn't really down with
the idea of pictures, though.
And with that comes the next step -- time to get
me a car!
