I do. Because then, when I have it, and when I’m driving Silver Belle to uni each day, if something like what happened this morning happens again, I can drive home.

I am stuck here until 5:00 PM. I arrived at 9:30 this morning for a tutorial which is supposed to start at 10:00 AM. “Supposed to” are the operative terms, my friends. My tutor decided not to show up. Therefore, I am stuck here until 5:00 PM. Without a car, without a lift, without any conceivable, safe way of getting home.

My dad is right. I need my licence, stat.

So you’ll be glad to know I’m taking steps towards achieving this goal.

I passed my computerised Hazard Perception Test a few weeks ago now - which, if you want my opinion, is a pretty silly way of seeing how safe we are, given the pass mark is a measly 54 per cent (but it’s hard).

For instance, how am I supposed to tell the computer when I would slow down on a road? There are so many things to consider. For example, how fast is the rest of the traffic going? Is there anyone behind me who, if I “slow down”, might plough into the back of my sweet little vrrrooomthing? What exactly do you mean by “slow down”? Do you mean start slowing down? Or, perhaps you mean coming to a near-complete stop?

What the hell does “click when you would slow down” essentially mean?
