The Day I Finally…: Finally Passed My Driver’s License Test

Idea courtesy of Mary Garrett on Facebook

It took me 5 attempts to pass my driver’s license test. I live in a small town, so there was only one person to go with me on the driving portion. His name was Mr. Dolan.

The first time I tested, I was very nervous and drove too fast and made too many mistakes. Once we got back to the DMV office, and Mr. Dolan caught his breath, he told me I had failed, but I could come back in a month to try again.

Second try, I was less nervous but racing that train to the crossing made Mr. Dolan scream, so I failed again.

Third time, I was nervous again and we ended up going the wrong way on the freeway and barely squeezed between two big trucks, then took an on ramp as an off ramp and I think Mr. Dolan peed himself.

The fourth test, he stood outside the car swallowing nerve pills and weeping, then just had me drive around the block before failing me.

But this last time, he saw me, began shaking uncontrollably, then just signed me off with a passing grade.

So now I finally have my driver’s license.
