Brake pad? I didn't know being a mechanic was part of the driving test. Most people just go to Midas to get their brake pads fixed.

I took my driver's exam way out in the burbs, so there was no city driving and no traffic to deal with. It was a piece of cake! :-) And yes, I scored 100 percent on the written.. :P

I sort of did that. I did all my driving school in Montreal while going to college. For the second class the guy sends me out onto Autoroute 40... which for a student driver, having only driven on rural quebec roads was something. But, I did fine. I did the driving test back in no-where Quebec, and its was extremely easy. Very little traffic, and we had to drive around town to find two cars to parrellel park between (and you could driven a cadillac between the cars we found w/o parrallel parking, I was in a Mazda 323 at the time).

On the written I got one wrong, forget which one, I think I mixed up a sign.

1986... April, I think.

Drive around town (all left turns), diagonal park, parellel park (3 tries, got two of the three).

Now, to just get SirNitram his license.....

Maybe I should have him learn like I did, driving up and down Gauley Mountain ....

Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

I had quite a difficult road test that lasted over an hour, but I passed it cleanly. My test guy looked like a secret service agent, wore a full suit with dark glasses and he never smiled and only talked to give instructions, didn't even say hi.

It was like:
back out
turn left
lane change left
turn right
park
turn left
lane change left
one more
lane change right
again
turn right
pull over, emergency stop
go
u-turn
parallel park
go
hill park
go
turn left
park there
3-point turn

That was exactly how he spoke in an Agent Smith voice, and so it went for over an hour. He took me on 1-way streets, blind intersections, did every kind of parking imaginable, went on the highway a couple times and had me doing lane changes and cutting through heavy downtown traffic. At the end of which he has me back into the parking spot in the test centre and he hands me the test paper and says "you passed", and that was it. The guy was intimidating as hell and I thought he was going to pull out a gun and start shooting if I fucked up.

I'll say this, if you get that test guy you probably have a 10% chance at best of passing, and I wish that ALL driving tests were at least as hard as mine. It would get a lot of incompetent drivers off the roads which is a good thing.
