Driver’s Ed
I have just completed my three classroom days of driver’s ed. The program I took also offers the permit test right after the last session of the class, so I took that today, and I got 100%! I’ll go to the DMV building on Monday to get my permit. The class, however, was extremely boring. We got two morning breaks, two afternoon breaks, and lunch. In between breaks, we watched about 10 movies a day and read out of a printed learning manual for the remainder of the time. Overall, though, it was definitely worth it, and the other two parts of this driver’s ed program will be/were a lot better.
The first “phase” was skills. We learned how to avoid accidents and crashes, and what to do in various situations. We were behind the wheel from the start, and we got to push the car to the limits to see how it felt. Now that I can get my permit, I can take “phase 3,” the actual driving course where they take us around and teach us how to drive on roads and in traffic. That’s going to be a lot more interesting than sitting in a classroom and learning technicalities of traffic laws.
