I got my last driving lesson today and my instructor said I will definitely need more. Urg!
This is the driving lesson set (6 hours driving) I paid extra right after I failed my first practical exam. I had like 25 hours driving before that… so all in all, I have like 31 hours. To cheer me up a little bit the instructor told me that not a lot of people make it right after the minimum hours (13 hours). But I did 31 hours already! And how many lessons did I pay extra? 3 sets (18 hours extra) and that cost me 756Euro plus the basic course price 968 (13hours driving lessons + theory lessons + exam fee + entrance fee) and yet another plus 205 for doctor’s fee (eye and general doctor) and the book. And because I failed the first practical exam, I have to pay yet another 139 for it (second exam sometime next week).
If my computation is right, I’ve spent exactly 2,067 Euro for this. Hey, that’s about the price of a secondhand Ford KA already (not my dream car but ok). I could have my car for that money!
Driving sucks! And it is sucking me off my money!
It doesn’t help that I got 100% in my theory exam. I still don’t get a license!
I can drive. I know I can drive but the city traffic here in Graz is just too complicated for me. There’s just so many one-way-streets, tramways, bicycle lanes, and pedestrian crossings, etc, etc… sigh*
Maybe I should just accept the fact that when it comes to driving… I am a total moron.
It sucks!
And to cheer myself up, I just think about Einstein and how was also NOT able to drive a car PROPERLY even if he was a genius.
I will be getting my last instruction soon so I can take the road test before I go for a vacation to the Philippines. I hope I will get it right this time.
Einstein did not focus on driving in his time because he focused all his time in Science
