Success Stories
Took my driver's licence, first in the US, but I had to retake it in Norway, because of the huge road differences. We have A LOT more hills, mountains, tunnels, fjords, ferries and narrow roads than Missouri, which makes driving a bit different. Got my licence December 12th 2013. One of my best investments!
Passed my car test at age 18 in February 1981 and then 3 years later passed my HGV (truck, semi,)test...thus giving me the oppurtunity to travel all over Europe and get paid for it !..
Have visited many parts of Europe whilst driving trucks from the UK including as far as Ankara in Turkey and Moscow in Russia..met some great people had some great experiences and got some great memories.
I've had my license for a year now, but I haven't considered myself a 'good' driver until recently. Due to driving laws in my state, my older brother usually drove me around and I was afraid of highways, but a few days ago I was thrown into the deep end. My dad called me and told me he needed to go to the hospital and I was the only one available to bring him. I ended up driving on highways and crowded streets by myself to meet him there after an ambulance picked him up and though it was scary at first, I'm not afraid of driving anymore.
Full Drivers License acquired at Age 24, 1 failed theory and 2 failed practical but i got there!
The first failed practical was all me... A bit lapse on my over the shoulder checks. (too many minors)
The second failed practical attempt was not me! Another driver was approaching my (instructors) car on a bend and was going to hit us. I was stationary at a stop sign. I proceeded to glacially maneuver the car to the left hand side away from this on coming blind idiot! as i did so I mounted the pavement (an instant fail) to which my next move was saying BOLLOCKS as I knew what that meant for the £60 practical test. the examiner smiled nicely and said would you like to carry on with the test. (this after serious words with the other driver) We got back to the test center and I thought hmm maybe the examiner would let me off this as I was avoiding an incident. NO SUCH LUCK! as I was told yes they may have turned a blind eye but yet again I hadn't checked over my shoulder for a pedestrian on the pavement not that I should be mounting the pavement anyway and did I know it was an instant fail to do so? I looked and said yes I think me shouting BOLLOCKS gave that indication that I also knew that information. My driving instructor tried to plead my case but to no avail so on...
Practical test 3! I finally passed!. never had a bump or speeding ticket to date! (touch wood)
Safe & Happy Driving people!
