    never give up. everyone has their moments. i had watched people fail on the straight back, one guy who was a friend of mine failed twice on the road test for hitting the first curb out the gate. and a third time for something else, and he was a good experienced b driver. you just got to keep at it. like i said before my alley dock on the test was HIDEOUS, i just made sure i got enough points on everything else to get away with it.

    Went back to the DMV today... it took almost a full half-day to get through everything. Had to retake the C class test... argh! Then failed my doubles/triples and had to retake... passed fine the second time. Bunch of line-waiting and a bit of drama here and there, but I'm permitted to drive again for Monday.

    Just need to find a good toy truck to practice on... I get it better when I can SEE what the truck does than just trying to FEEL what the truck does. Silly, hmm?

    100% on pretrip and brakes. Got to drive straight and that was fine. But I "must" do my stupid skills again today, like it or not. What the heck did I pay the premium for"we'll work with you until you get it" for if not having gotten it doesn't matter because the next class is bigger? :(
