The DMV Rules

Hi All,
A co-worker of mine has to go take his driving test today; he has points because he got speeding tickets. I had to take this same test a few years ago, because I had three tickets on my record. I'm not a speed demon, I swear it! But I was traveling some back roads and went a little faster than normal a few times. I love backroads. They have no lines, no traffic, and are usually surrounded by fields on both sides. You might have to look out for the crossing o'possum, groundhog, or stray cat, but it's peaceful and I much prefer them to main roads. And, oh yeah, they can be curvy. My roommate freshman year was 'afraid' when I drove her around on these roads. She was from Hampton, VA, and had only driven in the city. In fact, she had only driven on the interstate. So to wind down a curvy road in the country was scary for her. It may have been scary for our friend Red as well, but she made no comments when I took her. Except she did wonder what the hay bales were.
"What are those?"
It was very cute.
"Um, they're hay bales."
But anyway, I had to take that test, and I remember posting about it before on whatever site we were on at that time. I failed it like, twice! Now, lest you think I'm a horrible driver, I have to explain: the test is HARD! And if you miss ANY questions, you fail. So, you have to score perfect on it. No time for hesitation or unease. Actually, I think it's the first ten you have to get 100% right, and then in the last twenty-five you can miss, like, two. I finally passed, after much studying and worrying. Since then I've slowed it down a bit. After all, my eight year old Chevy only has so much speed these days anyway. Don't you hate that in a car? In the summer when you put on the A/C, and it loses all power? You can't even pass little old ladies. haha That happens to Chevrolets when they get old. It's frustrating for a leadfoot like myself. ;)
Here's hoping my co-worker passes the test. Because otherwise, he'll be behind the little old ladies for a while.

But the horoscopes make me laugh. Most are very funny. Check them out at http://www.theonion.com/content/node/46696

Driving Adventures
1) Tried to avoid a deer on the mountain once; yelled, "Outta the way, Bambi!"
2) Always swerve to miss groundhogs and cats, and even squirrels, even though technically you're not supposed to swerve, according to the DMV. I just can't be responsible for Mr. Squirrel coming up to me and saying, "You killed my son. Thanks a lot, Speedy."
3) I had lots of creepy story ideas come to me as I drove through thick fog. I enjoyed it, which says a lot about me. ;)
4) I was hit from behind while in my favorite car, which was brand new, and was totalled as a result of the collision (I was in the middle of a pile of cars, so it was a domino effect). I was listening to Fleetwood Mac at the time. When I got out to confront the offender, I said, "Dude, you ruined my Fleetwood Mac moment. The car I can deal with, but it just doesn't do to ruin a Mac moment."
5) I always loved to come speeding down the deserted hill next to our house, hit the bottom bump, and yell, 'Yeeeee--Haaaaaaa' like the Dukes of Hazzard. Actually, my brother did that; I was a passenger. It was fun!

Have a great day!
