The Daily Matters

Let me tell you what happened on my on-the-road skills test before I acquired my driver’s license. Actually, I felt like I could have done better. Well, I am glad I made it and felt so relieved that it’s finally over. I don’t have to be nervous anymore about getting a license or waiting for road test for that matter.

The inspector was trying to be nice yet professional. He did refuse to smile and I guess he realized I was nervous. Although, I thought I acted a bit strange. Well, while in the DMV I was patiently, nervously and anxiously waiting for my name to be called. I got there at 4:00 p.m. and my schedule was 4:30 p.m. I had plenty of time to relax but that went by swiftly. I was called in. The inspector told me to open the window down and to listen to his instructions. First and foremost, he had me turn the car’s park light on. Boy was I nervous I thought I already got a demerit from taking a bit longer. I was nervous you know. I didn’t even think I got the right turn of the switch. I did the left and right signals unknowingly. LOL!

I did turn the headlights without being told. Hehehe. Those made me feel stupid from the very beginning. I thought for sure that was all over and that ended my day badly. So, he asked me to turn around the DMV building and headed to the traffic. We went to a residential street and he asked me to make a K-turn. Then we went back to the traffic and there I made a mistake of cutting the left lane too soon which I noticed and thought it was a demerit. Fortunately that was the only one in the end. I did a perpendicular parking right and then drove back to the parking space at the DMV with the nose of the car going in first. Well, I just made it in between the lines at that last part and it was over. The inspector told me I passed and have to wait for my name to be called inside for my picture to be taken and for my license. Wow! All I could say to the inspector was, “Thank you very much!”.
