I Passed!


Yes, that's it...On August 21, I passed the UK driving test! I was very nervous, in fact just after my first 'manuever' or reverse parking into a bay which is reversing into a parking space and landing in between the two lines....I told my instructor to repeat his next intstruction while I opened the window and took a deep breath. I sooooo didn't want to have to take the test again - I needed to get it off my back. So for the next 40 minutes I did as he said and tried to ask a few questions. There wasn't going to be any conversation - it was strictly business until the end. Maybe once he realized I was going to pass, he allowed himself to lighten up. About half way through I took comfort knowing there were many folks praying for a successful test. After he pronounced me 'passed' I squealed a 'Yes!' I can take the "L" off the car. Remember from earlier posts they call it 'learner' but we teasingly call it 'looser.'

I got my licence as they spell it here with my awful picture and it's good til 2036....though I don't think I'll need it that long.....

Party time!!!!
