Ever had one those moments in life when you know, beyond any shadow of a doubt, you are making a very, very bad decision, with a great chance for instant regret and a miserable, probably long lasting, outcome and notheless followed that path?
Yeah, that one. Care to share with us?
I’ll start. I dated a person, after we had already dated for a very short time, during which I was cheated on and eventually was left for a fourth person.
Yeah, not my brightest moment. And yes, I was cheated on again and again was left for another person.
Where I live, back when I got my driver’s license, there was always a several months long queue to take the driving test. When my turn came, there was a terrible blizzard. I knew I should just cancel it and wait several more months, but I didn’t do that. It ended in several injuries and a totalled car.
So you didn’t pass?
Actually I totally did! The terrible wreck happened on the way home. Real rollercoaster of emotions, that day was
It’s traditional for driving instructors to drive you home after passing if you’re using their car (at least in the uk).
Too many people have passed, then had a bad accident on the way home.
(Plus sometimes they only carry learner insurance)
That sounds lovely! I’m not sure how common it is here, since not many people I know in the U.S. have ever had a driving instructor. They exist, but most people I know just learned from family or friends.
I had no idea that what happened to me is so common, that’s honestly a bit of a relief.
I suppose if the storm was that bad they shouldn’t have rescheduled it anyway. People really shouldn’t be driving in that kind of weather.
I’m guessing you mean they should have rescheduled it? I was thinking the same thing. How irresponsible of them.
I had my test in a big snowstorm as well. Because of this the evaluator abridged the test a bit. It was a very surreal experience, I had been prepared for all of the maneuvers and instead it was mostly backing up along the curb type things.
I don’t know that it was as bad as the conditions for the OP, but at least because these are new drivers and the chances are greater for bad outcomes in conditions they don’t have many hours of experience in … I would be inclined to have tests during inclement weather postponed.
