And yeah, you'd think these people in intersections would at least move when they see it's a training truck. I mean the truck is well marked as a student driving school, but I guess they don't care about their cars. I sure hope I'm ready for my test. We found out today that our tests will be next week! Check out my new post for more info on that. But basically we are getting tested a week earlier than expected. Yikes! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

You have done a great job. And you are finding out about traffic and all the things you mentioned. And I have the same pet peeve as you with that white line at intersections. It is there for a reason. That really gets my blood pressure at a level its not to be at when vehicles do that. You just have to make that turn and if they have to back up or wait for others to move, that is what you have to do. You can't sit all day at some of the intersections waiting for it to clear. Again it all depends on traffic and the time of day and etc... Sure sounds like you are ready for the final test and ready to hit the big road! I really enjoyed this story. You have done a great job.
