    I went to a driving school, for two reason. if you're under 18 in VA, you have to take a week long "behind the wheel" class to get your license (it's like 6 seperate 2 hour days, you rotate with 2 other people. so its 40 minutes driving, 80 "observation" and then a 40 minute test) so you have to either go to a school, or take it at high school. and all the gym teachers at my high school (they're the ones who teach it) hated me. with a passion.

    The driving school however, gave me a teacher that me and my friends (who also got their licenses their) came to call Instructor Hellen Keller. we started trying to fail to see if he'd notice. I did 95 on the interstate one time, purposefully did 30 over in school zones, and even ran a solid red light at an empty intersection (i could clearly see down the left and right, it was "safe" persay) my favorite was hopping a median to get into a left hand turn lane because the left strait lane was backed up to where i couldn't get in. I passed with a 100%. it was hilarious. makes me worry about the other people who go to that course though.... one of my friends rear ended someone at an intersection on day two because they slammed on brakes (it was a large SUV with a couple small cars in front of it that he couldn't see) and he still passed.

    That's interesting considering I'm nowhere near 20 years old.

    I absolutely could not drive, so I spent a couple weeks memorizing the road course I knew the test would follow. During the test, to start, my dad had parked the car in a fire lane (you could barely tell it was one; the test center was located in an all but abandoned old mall parking lot), so I was in trouble before I began. I forgot my turn signal while parallel parking, and I have no idea if I actually made it into the stall, but he told me to keep going, so I did. I sped through the parking lot and got yelled at for that. I parked extremely crooked (I hadn't really learned parking at that point) and had to back up and try again. I almost ran into a lady with a baby when I was backing up. I got out of the car and left my headlights on, and had to unlock it and get back in to turn them off.

    I still passed on that first try. Gotta love Pennsylvania. Unless you commit 2nd degree murder during the test, I don't think you can fail.

    I passed my first time, even though I apparently had one of the harder testers. And also I messed up parking on an incline. And apparently, I'm a crappy driver.

    Meh.

    I did horrible on the actual driving test...messed up everything. And yet I passed for reasons I don't know...oh wait, yes I do

    I passed on my first try. Wasn't really that hard, but I had a month or two of paid lessons before hand.
