During Driving Test

It was three days ago that I have my driving test. My tutor only told me about the test on last monday, just the day before I have my test. The good thing is I don't have much time to be nervous.

That morning, I woke up at 6.40am. After having my breakfast and preparing, my tutor picked me up on 7.30am. I'm the first one he picked, which gave me more waiting to do to pick up another two for the test as well. By the time we reached the driving institution, it's 8.30 am.

My patience was tested. After registering for the test, I waited until around 11.30am for my turn. I got route A, which of course is a good thing.

Around 11.30am.

I walked to the car no.2 and entered the car after the candidate came out. The examiner, who wore a uniform with almost no difference to a policeman, went out for a while after saying:"Tunggu kejap ya.". I looked at the front mirror and the rear mirror. "Nicely adjusted, I don't need to do anything to it."I thought.

After a few minutes, the examiner came in and I started my route test. I changed to gear 1, releaseing the hand brake and started my route. Everything was fine as I drove through the long, straight road. The examiner seemed inpatient for me to drive at the speed of about 40km/h. "Tekanlah minyak. Sampai 60."He instructed me. (Was he hungry for lunch?)

As I drove back, he ticked every slot except for two slots, which he crossed. I said thank you and off I went to have my next test. It was so hot. I ran to the bus stop and took a look at the result sheet I got. What the! a cross for not checking on the wiper and another for not checking on the mirrors. I felt so unfair, since my tutor didn't told me about anything and the mirrors are already in the best angle.

After another few sessions of waiting, I went for uphill, side parking and 3 point turning. Thanks God my uphill test was perfect.

At 2pm, the test ended and I passed all. Shortly today I will get my P license.

This time, I heard from many that SPM results will be out on March 12. 6 more days!
