Yes, I was in the US at the time of the test and YES, there were THREE pedals: my friends in Vermont are purists who prefer Real Cars.<BR/><BR/>Everyone assures me that it's best to learn on a manual-drive car, but personally I'd be only too thrilled to drive something clutchless, gearless, wheel-less and (preferably) in a country with no other drivers or pedestrians.<BR/><BR/>Still. Your story allows me to feel a little less idiotic, thank you! While I am very sure that I really AM losing neurons at a seriously unprecedented rate, it helps to know that even those with all their grey matter intact can fail a driving test.

I...hey, as they say there is a time for everything. I guess it is your time to drive.<BR/><BR/>nevertheless, two comments<BR/>1. presuming u are in the US, two feet should be sufficient for two pedals brake and accelerator, right? no clutch out there.<BR/>2. your situation is infinitely better than what I went through, after 25 years of driving experience around the world, i moved to UK recently where of course you have to get a NEW UK licence. and the driving test is like no another, written test, hazard perception test, look see under the hood and a one hour driving test..<BR/><BR/>NOW all this is a bigger pain for someone who has driven for ages..<BR/><BR/>especially so since I got the licence only after 3 attempts.<BR/><BR/>Dont worry you will get itMaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18163804773843409980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6944919.post-1151535083093850142006-06-28T18:51:00.000-04:002006-06-28T18:51:00.000-04:00Good to know that there is somebody like me...who ...Good to know that there is somebody like me...who failed the driving test..:)Venkat Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01150287929648112308noreply@blogger.com
