Getting Even Better

So yesterday I finally got my drivers license. After working myself up into a fit about how I know I was going to just fail my test again, to my surprise I managed to parallel park perfectly on the first try. I drove around with this very by-the-book kind of man, he didn’t even want to chit-chat other then to brag to me that he did nearly 2000 drivers examinations just last year alone, but made a point to say that he didn’t get paid extra for it. He kept his voice void of any emotion the entire test and gave off this feeling of I’m just going to fail you.


So when the test was done and we pulled back into the DMV and I parked the car he announced to me that I had achieved driving status by saying. “You were one second away from failing this test.” I asked him what he meant and he told me that when we where at a stop sign intersection I started to pull away to make a right turn on red in a no right turn on red zone, when suddenly the arrow flicked to green and made it okay for me to drive out. He said that if I was a second earlier then he would have had to fail me, which to him sounded like it would have been fun.


But now that I have my license I feel so much better.
