I shall explain....

I was first licensed in Indiana, where the written driving test is a joke. A third grader could probably pass it.

Then I moved to Massachusetts and got licensed there. They didn't require any tests whatsoever, except (I think) an eye test.

Next I moved back to Indiana, where they simply reissued my old license. They did make me take the written test, but again, it was ridiculously easy.

After that I relocated to Washington state. I realized that I needed to get licensed in Washington, and I (incorrectly) assumed that it'd just be a matter of paperwork, paying some money, taking an eye test, and (maybe) doing another written test that any idiot could pass.

Well, the Washington written driving test is full of questions like this:

Question: What is the minimum license suspension period if you refuse to take a Breathalyzer test?

A: 30 days

B: 90 days

C: 180 days

D: One year

I didn't know, and it's a bad question anyway. The important thing to understand is that under the "implied consent" statute, you must take a Breathalyzer test upon request if you're driving. And I already knew that much.

Anyway, to pass the written test, you have to get at least 20 out of 25 questions correct. Once I missed five, the computer basically said, "Game over."

Apparently it's quite common for people to fail the written test in Washington, and one of the Department of Licensing employees helpfully told me that all of the answers are contained within the state driver's manual. Unfortunately, they were out of the printed version, but you can download it from the Internet. And I was told I could come back tomorrow and try again. (Interestingly, they let me keep my Indiana license without invalidating it -- see below about the "W" punch -- so I could still legally drive in Washington, even though I'd just flunked. )

After I got home, I downloaded the manual, read the entire thing (over 100 pages), and wrote down everything that I wouldn't know off the top of my head. I read the list a few times and read it again the next day while riding the bus back to the Department of Licensing.

I took the test a second time (after having to pay the testing fee again ) and answered the first 20 questions correctly. The computer didn't even bother asking me the last five. They took my Indiana license, punched a "W" through it (indicating that it's valid for identification, but invalid for driving in Washington), gave me a temporary paper Washington state license, and told me that I'd receive my permanent license in the mail soon.

Lesson learned: If I ever relocate to another state, I should do a little more research beforehand to determine just what I have to do to get licensed!

still waiting for my check . . .

About 4 years ago. I put nair on my room mates face while he slept because he took too long in the shower. Then I told him it was because he shaved with a dirty razor
