It's now official, I've passed my Practical Driving Test. "YEA". In the last 3 weeks I took about 12 hours of training with a licensed BSM driving Instructor. BSM is the British School of Motoring, and is the largest and oldest driving school in the UK. This morning I was picked up by my instructor and taken to the testing center. The test was done in the same car I trained in with the Examiner in the front and my instructor in the back. My biggest driving headache has always been the roundabouts, as there's no two of them the same. Knowing that the test involved several, I was totally convinced that I wouldn't pass. With only 40% pass rate the first try, I was as nervous as when I took the US test at 16 years old. Since our car has an automatic transmission, I chose to take training with the same. Now my UK license only allows me to drive a car with an automatic. I've been driving on an International license that any licensed driver can get at AAA for $30.00. That is no longer valid but now I'm legal again. So it's a done deal and now I have a license to drive on either side of the road.
