The Road to Obtaining My Driver's License

I have always been worried about driving, because of the all the laws and consequences you can get if you don't obey the laws. I basically saw it like an advanced version of Go-Karting, except you can actually kill people, and also go to jail, but I wasn't about that life. For my experience of pre-driving, it was a bit complex. First, I had took first watch through this grueling 8-hour online session about rules and and laws on driving, and it was super boring. I also had to read the handbook a bunch of times so that I knew more on the  rules, laws, speed limits, etc. The day I had to take the online written test, I was pretty confident because I had plenty of time to study.  I ended up failing because some questions were awkwardly worded. So then about a few weeks later, I retook it and finally passed, I felt like it was finally over but nope now that I had my permit, it's time for the real thing. I was enrolled in this driving program called Precision Driving, which was pretty helpful, and I had some very insightful and friendly instructors. I also had to drive a total of 50 hours, with 40 during the day and 10 during the night so I can get used to what it was like driving. My parents were always pressuring me to make sure I would learn how to drive before the school year started. After all that, it was time to take my actual driving test. Honestly, the only thing I was worried about was having a strict instructor, but she was pretty chill so I was pretty chill too. I'm the end, I passed on my first try, with only 5 errors, one being I mistook the windshield wipers stick with the turn signal stick, and my cousin laughed so hard when I told him. But, hey, at least I have my driver's license, and some of my friends don't even have their driver's license yet and they're already 18, so I'm getting there. I'm still in need of my own car, though. 🤔
