    California as well, they can request either parallel, either offset, always a straight and sometimes the 90. But it will always be a mix of three, and since I transferred my license to Nevada immediately, I can never be recalled for a test. Where like 10% of the swift graduates have to retest with the CA DMV.

    Talking all that mess about go ahead and just give it to me. You do know since if it's from Swift it has a asterisk. If you don't get it even you first time you better run and hide lol

    Some days you can put it anywhere and some days you can't park it in a empty Walmart parking lot.

    If I don't get it the first time, I'll just go rent one of those CDL test trucks for like 500 bucks and go with an instructor who will take me through the course several times, and then just take my driving test lol

    Then go apply with Melton
