Wanted: Chauffer
Do I really need a driver's license?
I let my old one expire for too long. I knew that would mean extra hassle - like I'd have
to take a road test or something. I tried to find a way to avoid it - maybe going back
to my home state and pretending I still live there...
(Though believable, valid documentation is also required.)
So I surrendered, and logged onto the DMV website earlier this week and hoped to get started. BUT I HAD NO IDEA IT WOULD BE THIS BAD. First off, I have to get a FREAKING learner's permit. I already HAD a learner's permit, like, hello, 80 years ago.
I have to admit, it was one of the best times of my life.
But get this, just to get the permit, I have to take a WRITTEN test - and pass it! Trying not to panic...maybe I can get someone to pretend to be me and take it for me.
Cashew could totally pull it off.
Okay...once I get the permit, all I have to do is just "practice" driving around for a while, right? NO. It turns out, I have to take a driver education course.
It's like being required to ride around with a huge a-hole backseat driver for a couple of weeks. If that guy even THINKS about criticizing my driving...
I might "lose control" of the car.
Finally, once that is over, I have to take my little "all done!" certificate from the driving school and go to the DMV to take a road test. Another test? DAMMIT!!! I think I'm gonna need a little help with this one too.
I figure if Mr. Chimppleson can maneuver this dog, he can surely handle an automobile.
