Fanfare please!
I have today taken my first step toward becoming a motorist by successfully taking my written driving test. Anyone from the UK is going to baulk at this slightly: I read a leaflet, walked into the testing office (with no appointment), took the computer test and was given my practice permit papers. It was scarily easy. I could have gone straight out to take the full driving test right away, but I opted to wait until I'd had a little practice. I think 45 minutes should suffice.
But things are never as easy as they sound, because while being allowed to be in command of half a ton of speeding metal required only the most rudimentary of capability, printing a permit that says you passed requires a half ton of bureaucracy and a Social Security Number (which is still being processed). So unfortunately I'm going to have to wait to get behind the wheel.
Give me a week and then, People of St Louis beware!
