I finally got my driver's license!
Well, I was supposed to get my driver's license roughly five months ago in December of last year, but because of our move to a new state things had to be put on hold until today when I had my driver's test. I passed with an 89 out of 100 which is pretty good. I was really nervous when it came to the parallel parking, but when I had to do it during the test it was extremely easy since I had been practicing with two cars parked close together and the poles I had to park between were literally double the space. So, I'm finally legally allowed to drive alone and in six months I'll be able to drive with friends, woo!

Congrats on passing your test. When i had mine, i had my grandma's car and it was a boat.
1988 delta oldsmobile. Wish i had a smaller car to use but i passed the driving test. Don't remember what my grade was but parallel parking was the hardest part of it.

I barely passed my driving test. The highlight for the instructor was when I gunned it through a yellow light, I had a few bad habits. But, when it came time for the 'dreaded' parallel parking there were no spaces available and didn't have to do it.

Ah, haha, that's exactly why I chose to use my dad's little Pontiac G6 rather than my mom's big Dodge Durango.

Boy, you lucked out! The only major thing I messed up on was yielding when I was trying to turn right to get back onto the service road. A couple of people that had taken the test told me that I shouldn't turn right on red, so I didn't at the light we turned at, but then we got to the yield and I was an idiot and waited way too long and for ALL of the cars to go by when I had plenty of openings because I wasn't thinking straight. Luckily she didn't ding me off too many points for that.

My driving skills were rubbish after I first passed my test, they got better when I was driving for a job though, well done on passing.

There are no points for the driving test in Austria. An official comes and sits behind you (they are typically over 50 and very grumpy). If this guy has a bad day, you can sign up for a repeat. These guys will crush your morale and make you nervous, no matter how good you are. Commenting on everything, so you always think that you f**ked up.
Good thing that's behind me

What i liked about that car back in Highschool was that the backseat was like a sofa. I put dice in the mirror and packed about 6 people in the car when we went out back in the day.

I passed my test first time thankfully. I vividly remember that feeling of freedom jumping in the car and going for a drive (even if it was my dads car)
