Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for November 15, 2024

Was it drive-thru before he got there?

I remember my driving test! It was late September in 2022, and despite a couple mistakes, I passed the test. My parents treated me out to a local bar and grill, I bought myself the LEGO Jeep Wrangler set, and we set off for home. It’s still all built together on my shelf, but it’s collecting a lot of dust.

I passed my driving test in California, in spite of losing points for stalling the car at an intersection, because I slammed on the brake without engaging the clutch. (This was years ago.) The testing officer gave me no slack for the fact that I saved his life by avoiding being hit by a car that sped through a stop sign.

Classic garden-pathing!!

Well… that and texting Melody!

And it didn’t help that you drove from the restaurant holding your sandwich in one hoof, a drink in the other, and steered with your knees.

Driving properly with using smartyphones shoulda be mandatory test these days.

he also failed the parallel parking…

shudda got some fries and a Coke for the driving examiner…!

did you get the worker anything to eat. if not, then no wonder you failed.

He should have steed in bed.

Stopping for fast food seems like an oxymoron.

Driving class in school in 1971, no drive-thru at that time at Ronald’s Rainbow Lounge. Instructor had us pull in, let him out and then back out when he came back. Got graded on how we parked and left. Nothing for us in the car except the smell of those fabulous fries!

He got some for the examiner but got marked down for attempted bribery.

Did you drive through the restaurant?

When my uncle came back from Vietnam his drivers license had expired so he went back to renew and he realized the road test area was similar to when he took it before so when I had to take it he took me through the same streets then to a side street where he had me do a 3 point turn and parallel park. I did not make any mistakes:)

Horace ….. You were suppose to wait …../ until AFTER you passed …. :)

I failed the road test once, was creeped out because the stone-faced instructor/examiner looked exactly like Donald Sutherland…took it again in another location, and it was the same guy—super embarassing.
