Where I live, back when I got my driver's license, there was always a several months long queue to take the driving test. When my turn came, there was a terrible blizzard. I knew I should just cancel it and wait several more months, but I didn't do that. It ended in several injuries and a totalled car.
So you didn't pass?
Actually I totally did! The terrible wreck happened on the way home. Real rollercoaster of emotions, that day was
It's traditional for driving instructors to drive you home after passing if you're using their car (at least in the uk).
Too many people have passed, then had a bad accident on the way home.
(Plus sometimes they only carry learner insurance)
That sounds lovely! I'm not sure how common it is here, since not many people I know in the U.S. have ever had a driving instructor. They exist, but most people I know just learned from family or friends.
I had no idea that what happened to me is so common, that's honestly a bit of a relief.
