Second time I got it.

The written test (even though its on comp now) really threw me off, it was nothing like the practice tests in drivers ed. Luckily I was skimming through the book on the way there, that and using a little common sense I ended up doing fine.

I had a driving class in HS. They had a 62 Galaxy with manual steering. That was the hardest car to steer that I ever drove. I had my learners permit at .....15 1/2. Got my license on the day I turned 16.

passed the permit test the first time...barely...by one point...but i got it. then i got my license on the first try also. its not a good sign when u do something and u glance over at the cop and he's writing something down. 
i live in the wonderful state of ND...so i got my permit the day i turned 14, and my license 6 months later....i wasnt even 15 yet and i could legally drive.

Aced it everytime I took it.
I even aced the commercial permit tests and all the endorcements that go with it.
Motorcycle endorcement I hit it with 98% without even looking in the book.
All the tests are is common sense, if you don't have that then you will have problems.

Kinda sounds like my son. He still won't admit that it was his fault he ran his car over a curb and destroyed the front suspension. It apparently shouldn't be his fault that the road was slick because it just started raining for the first time in a couple weeks, and the owner's manual said it had anti-lock brakes that let you steer if you start skidding. I might actually consider seeing how much it would cost to fix his car if he would just understand he caused the problem by going too fast for the condidtions.

I passed my written on first go around (it is entirely based on the handbook as far as I am concerned).
Passed my driving test the first time around too.
Of course I have been driving since I could just reach the peddles on a tractor....cars I had to wait until I was a teen.
Guy I know failed on his first attempt at driving test - he basically 'drag raced' a tractor trailer down the highway
I am thinking I should get my motorcycle license before I get into trouble.......
Cheers!
