captainsblogGreetings from road test central. So far, big fun getting to it . After we tooled around our own neighborhood one last practice, we had enough time for a dry run of the test itself. I picked a nearby subdivision that Em hasn't driven in, told her to pull over and I'd play road test examiner- turn right here, parallel park there.
A better idea in theory than in practice, because the second she pulled to the curb to "start the test," not one but two Snyder FD fire trucks came barreling past. "Well, THAT was eventful," she commented.
Other than that and a couple garbage trucks to dodge, the final practice went fine, and I took the wheel to drive us over here (she can't drive in the test zone except for the test), but then the skies opened and it poured all the way along the 290 from near home to the waiting line here in Tonawanda.
Where the first in the queue was, wait for it, a short bus. With a guy going for his CDL, likely to be a longer test for him and wait for us. At least the sun's back out and I shouldn't have too long to stand out in the elements.
Congratulations to the US dude who won Wimbledon 70-68:) Let's hope that good ol' American luck holds for another hour at least....
ETA. So. Did she pass, did she pass, did she possibly pass?
The 15-minute tests started taking about five minutes beginning with the car before ours; between the rain and the short bus, dude had gotten behind schedule and resolved it by zipping them through their paces and, if they hadn't had enough points taken off, stopping them in the middle of their parallel park and docking them the full 15 points for not being able to. Test passed! Now to find a flippin' car....
