Man, I'm gonna be late. I'm gonna be late and I'm gonna fail. I can't believe I have to speed to get there. There is a freaking camera stop light, and I'm stuck behind three cars. I'll get snapped and get the same ticket when I'm going to the test to finish the ticket I already got for running a red light. How ironic is that. Come on. Come on. These people can't drive for crap.
Where is it. Oh, ok. When did that go in? I don't remember them building that. Why are all these cars waiting in line for this crappy little mall. What's that about. Is everybody taking the traffic school test today. Dude in the car ahead of me has a paper he's looking at. Holy crap. He really is taking the test. Hope they have a bunch of machines.
Parking, ok. A few minutes late. Man, I'm a loser.
"Hi... I'm here for the traffic school test."
"Uh, ok. Which school?"
"Uh..." The dude said bring your drivers license. Not the freaking paper with the school name on it. How the hell should I know? I'm horrible with names. Come on. Come on. I just saw it. What was it? "Home Traffic School".
"Ok. ID?"
Now what? What is this place. Where do I take the test? Oh, it must be in the back. There is a machine back there. Oh, ok.
"Yep, just sign in back there and you are good to go."
Right. Good to go. I hate fucking tests. I'm horrible at tests. Half the time I was taking the course before I had to do this thing I only got half the answers right before I had to hit back and then change the answers and try again. Right. Right. Good to go. Yeah. That's why I'm sweating like a freaking horse. I hate tests. Tests suck. If I lose my license that's going to suck. Why did I wait so long? Can't afford to lose my license.
Ok. Secret password? What's that. Write it down? Pen. Where is a pen. Markers. Right, yellow marker. Something to write on... Card. Ok. Sign in. Take the test... What the... Yeah, I'm here, I want to take the final exam. What's the deal. I know, go to the store, take the exam, I'm here, give me the exam. Hold on, secret password. Right. Back. Back. Back. New password. Ahhh... Ok. Now I can get the real final exam. Man, this site sucks. Damn. This site... really... sucks.
I need to read more. Read in more depth. I need to sit down sometime and learn how to read in detail. Everybody else seems to be able to read in detail, why can't i? I would have known what to do if I had just read the page with the password. Ok, settle down. Man, that scrollbar thumb is small. Sixty questions, that sucks. Ok. Obey traffic laws? Duh. True. Ok to run red lights? Uh... False. Is the whole test going to be like this? Pedestrian deaths are 1/6th of all traffic fatalities. Oh, man, I know this is one of those stupid factoid questions. It's either 1/6, or 1/4 or 1/8 or some such and what the hell does it matter anyway if I get the exact right answer? This is why I hate tests. Eighty questions? Your kidding me right. Oh, god... That sucks.
Ok, submit. Wow. For once you can only submit once. Congratulations? I passed. Holy shit. I passed. That's freaking unbelievable. I never pass this stuff. Wooo... Now I can get out of here. Right. Proctor sign out. Send me the thing in the mail. Take it to the court house. Woo. Done. I hate tests. I hate freaking tests.
Posted by jherr at August 25, 2004 11:50 PMDid you get the one of the best questions I ever had on a driving test:
you approach a corner where you want to turn right. At the same time a bicyclist approaches what do you do?
a. ignore him and turn anyway
b. slow down, allow him to pass then make your turn
c. speed up and beat him to the corner
d. see who reaches the intersection first and proceed
Who wrote these tests anyway? And did you get any questions about construction equipment and the rules for following them?
Posted by: eigga49 at August 26, 2004 08:16 AMI got one question about fines being doubled in a construction zone. There were a lot about drunk driving. Two about double yellow lines. One about U-Turns in a residential area. That one is tricky because there is always the question about what defines a residential area. Sometimes it is obvious, other times, like the local quicky mart on the street corner of a housing area. Is that residential or commercial, or what?
