At least I'm not 30 yet?

As of this morning, I finally have my first driving license ever.
The only time I was ever interested in driving was when I was thirteen, after learning that my 14-y.o. friend was driving around with a fake driving license*. My mom (wisely) didn't want to get a fake license for me, and I promptly lost interest.
For the last eight years or so, I've practiced driving on and off. By which I mean a few weeks' practice with long months stretching in between =P
I got 82/100 (Passing grade is 80) and tanked parallel parking. Also, you're supposed to turn your steering wheel to the right instead of the left when parking uphill with no curb present. Good to know.
If only fast, clean, reliable public transit is universal. Yay for passing!
* I grew up in S.E. Asia. It’s a thing. We pay someone to queue for us, and that guy will then bribe the government officials to expedite things, and we only show up when it’s time to sign the document. Trufax.

e.g. Assuming that I'm still on a one-lane street thanks to the row of parked cars on the right...
Also, I haven't posted this on DW: happy news.
