Yesterday I went and got my drivers license. Yes I've had one in Canada for 14 years but I forgot to renew it last year and I'm out of the country but that’s a whole other story. So into the Nebraska state DMV I go.
First unlike when I was a kid I've been able to download the form and pre-fill all the details. It also specifically lists what ID I need, whip through the line in about 2 minutes and off for the vision test.
If you can't pass the US DMV vision test your fucking blind.
So off for the written test, all be it now its on a computer and not written. I remember as a kid reading the handbook and studying for this, as an adult I flaked and went out drinking the night before. Hell I haven't looked at a drivers handbook for more than 2 minutes in what has to be 14 years.
Its starts its 25 questions, evidently by question 18 I had acquired enough points and a message popped up congratulating me. So off for the road test...
In typical Canadian style I go for my drivers test in what amounts to a blizzard. The first snow we have seen since November and its pretty close to white out conditions. The tester laughed about how I was likely going to be the only driving test that day. Basically my driving test consisted of driving for a coffee in the snow.
Yup under 1 hour no studying and I didn't do a single blessed thing but talk to the tester about Toronto and gun laws in Canada.
I managed to 1 hand the steering wheel at one point in a parking lot, hell I slid the car in the parking lot picking up coffee. Yes I managed to fish tail a front wheel drive corolla and still got a US drivers license.
