So it was my birthday on Friday. The big one. Since I hadn't gotten my permit until May 2nd (which was a little after my half birthday) I had to wait to take my driving test. It was scheduled for Nov. 4th (today). <br><br>Since I had gotten a car for my birthday, all I needed was for my license. The car actually, was my mom's old one but she got a bmw so the other one was all mine. My mom got it all cleaned out and waxed that it looked new. <br><br>It's a 03 Honda Civic. Kinda looks like this:<br><br><img src="http://windsorimports.com/images/honda_civic_2003_p1154.jpg"; alt="http://windsorimports.com/images/honda_civic_2003_p1154.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><br>I had done the class course and finished the practice in a driver's ed car. My worst thing was maneuverability. If someone doesn't know what that is, its going though something like this:<br><br><img src="http://www.bmv.ohio.gov/images/Maneuv.gif"; alt="http://www.bmv.ohio.gov/images/Maneuv.gif"; class="bb-image" /><br><br>You have to go through it fowards and then go backwards. When I practiced this with my teacher, he had to keep repeating things to me and seemed annoyed I couldn't grasp it. I could go foward ok but not backwards. He just made me feel stressed. <br><br>So I went to take the test today and I got some lady testing me that looked strict or grumpy. When I had to back out she said to go to the left and I turned the wheel the wrong way! She told me to pull in again and this time go out the right. I fixed it and off we went. I had to drive through some neighborhoods and whatnot. Getting back to the testing area, I had to pull up to the maneuverability course. That's when I felt the worry. I made it foward fine and when I started to back up... I was surprised. For the first time ever I got it totally right! I remembered every little thing and came out perfect. <br><br>She gave me my sheet and said I passed. I missed 10 points for wide turns but that was it (miss 26 and you fail). I went in and got my license while my mom kept hugging me. <br><br>As we were about to leave, we watched as someone else took the maneuverability part. He totally backed up crooked and was heading for a cone. I was like, "oh no oh no! Dont hit it!" and then he hits the gas a bit and knocks it over. Knocking over a cone is an automatic fail. After that he had to pull out. I felt so bad for him but happy for me at the same time. <br><br>After we got home my mom gave me money. I took my sister and I out to dinner. Then we stopped at a bookstore to spend a $50 giftcard I had, then the mall, and then up to the school to figure out where I would park tomorrow. I only hit one thing (the stupid curb) because I took the turn too sharp. I was worrying about what that lady marked. I only hit it with my tire so it was ok. But I am so excited and happy everything is finally over. <br><br>I am now a license driver. :D
