OK, don't take me serious, but have you ever just thought, "If I screw up some, I could get more attention and driving time."?

Sorry, just the way my mind works. If you are talking behind someone's back, where are you really at?

Yes I did. However if you fail 2 tests you must pay 750 bucks (payed on your loan) to come back to the school.

I got all 116 items I had to name on the pre trip too. Only thing I did wrong on the road test is I rubbed a curb. The tester said I did everything else so well he just said that it did not happen.
