I GOT MY DRIVER'S PERMIT TODAY!!1111ONEONE

Post by Falco Girgis »

Yes, indeed. I quit procrastinating and got my ass up and read that stupid ass book so that I could take the test.

The ironic thing is that TiredSikTwisted and I got our permits on the same day at the same place and didn't even know it. I told him I got my permit on AIM and he was all like "OMFG! Me too!"

Anyway, my parents have given me the keys to the purple Hyundai. It's my baby now. Although I can only drive with a parent until I've had the permit for six months, this still kicks major ass. We're taking my baby for a spin tomorrow.

Oh, my dad also bought me a 12-pack of Bawls Guarana to celebrate. Hellz yes!

Dang it!

My brother has had his permit for like a year, but he's only driven a couple of times, so he still doesn't have his license.

I can't wait the four years until I can drive! As soon as I get my license I'm going to fill out a job application for Rhino, Gamestop, EB Games, and Gamecrazy.

Well, start driving alot and stuff. Also, don't ever get a stick shift. Stick shifts are the number one cause of alcoholism in teenagers.
This is a joke about unfunny jokes. And bad use of irony.

Right on Wutai.

I read about 1/10th of my book, but it seriously about made me barf. There was like 12 pages on legal crap about safety belts... GAH. So Gyrovorbis, how was the test? Did they ask a crap load of legal type questions?

Yeah, JSL, I had been wondering if you had your permit.

Oh, I have that test fresh on my mind.

Dude, I'm not kidding. I read the whole freaking book through. I only read it once though right before the test.

If it seems pointless and stupid know it. I'm not even kidding.

I personally thought it was really hard. The questions were so irrelevant to driving and were more general "vocab." TST said he thought it was easy though.

I guessed on lots of them and I ended up only missing one. Maybe I just freaked out because I didn't wanna fail in front of so many people?

There are 30 questions.

In the driving book, there should be pictures of signs without words. Like the color and shape. know them

Also, the section about what to do when you're hydroplaning and in the fog/snow isn't as useless as you'd think. I was so close to just skipping that--DONT! You seriously will be asked questions on that.

Then there were insanely stupid questions like "what is implied consent?"
Answer: The social agreement that when you drive you're agreeing to take a chemical/breatholizer test if asked to by a cop.

Then there was one about "highway hypnosis." A condition caused by monotony when truck drivers drive forever without stopping. They get tired and zone out. Why sould we know that? I don't think a 15 year old that is just now getting a permit will be driving any 18 wheelers for 10 hours straight. :roll:

Yes, JSL, sadly if you wish to pass, you will need to read that stupid book.

Crap... i guess I can't wing can I. And I'll probably have to return my 18 wheeler for something else. And I was looking forward to showing off my spinners on that puppy at the school parking lot.

PETA's going to come after for that JSL, PETA will get you. You'd better pray that P. Diddy shoots them all.

Anyway, I've started driving since I'm 14, but I'm not old enough for no permit yet.

Gyro, once you have your license, you'll need to follow my How To Be Awesome instructions.

1. First, paint the engine, because everyone looks at the engine.
2. Second, splash mud on the tires and sides so that you will appeal to hicks.
3. Third, play your music REALLY loud. If I can't hear it from my house, it isn't loud enough.
4. Lastly, put a If you can read this you are too close. sticker on the bumper, so that everyone will recognise that you are a comedian.

Over in Clarksville the tests are really stupid and easy. For instance,
What do you do when the stop light turns red?
a) jump off a bridge
b) close your eyes and hope you dont crash
c)stop

Its an actual question. I took mine a year ago, Now i get to drive my pimped out Honda Accord '05 by myself
1/8th time- 14secs
1/8th speed - 110mph
