I graduated quietly, unceremoniously from yet another educational institution, but have to admit it's a new low point for me. not one to boast but i graduated from several fine universities, well two to be exact. a third failed to bear fruit, other than the best and intended result of all: physical survival. i attended the third only until i obtained yet another hallpass from the military draft. otherwise i faced almost certain, definitely pointless death in "the nam". it wasn't needed afterall because i had just received the best draft deferment of all, based on some serious psychological testing 1-Y... "unsuitable for military service". Yahoo! this bit of personal history relates, on an entirely different but relevant topic: traffic tickets. in this regard i admit to having a sordid, wayward history of infractions and, as with military service, obfuscation and avoidance. so go ahead, sue me. now let's move on to the "backstory" the personal history the local color the frankly irrelevant part o f all my better reviews, more enjoyable for me to write but far less useful for you to read. during the course of the 70s, my decade living in manhattan, i drove a 1952 chevorlet belaire sedan. without doubt the best car ever made, its purchase price was $50 from a crusty old hudson valley apple farmer. i replaced the driver's window, repainted with rustoleum in 2-tones: robin's egg blue body with white top. together with its restored style and beauty, the vehicle proved to be near indestructible. it had been made you see, as cars were back then, of quite thick, first run (ie, not melted down recycled tin cans) steel. made in America by Americans. proof of this extraordinary sturdiness came one morning when, as i was pulling out of a parking spot on bleecker st, my car got sidewiped by a new york city garbage truck. fortunately the driver realized his error and was forthright enough to exit his truck and discuss the damage. i impressed on him that this was (in fact) an antique vehicle which i had spared no expense to restore. he agreed to state that the damage (slight dent in driver's side fender) was considerable and signed a note i had scribbled to document the date and location of the incident. the city of new york agreed to repay $500 for the damages i sustained, so i figured i was way ahead with this car. little did i know that in the ensuing years i would accumulate many times this amount in parking tickets from all around the island of manhattan. i was then, and remain today, a parking ticket scofflaw. as for the traffic ticket here, I passed the exam with perfect score, and at least for now that part of my troubles with the rules of the road and johnny law in life are history.

I an sure I will get some tech bro response that we should have followed up with courts after 30 days (though it was 90 days after completion) he needs to do better. Sorry Kevin, You have given me your records and according to your data, the course was completed in June and not sent to courts until 3 months later. So yes my information is from you and what you provided, why did it take 3 months?

Going through rental companies is a pain in the ass because you need to obtain a written statement from the car rental saying they allow to be used in a driving test. So I started looking at some driving schools; I called one in the mission with high ratings and the person was extremely rude saying they don't provide a car for the test for those that are not their students. Another school in the mission with high rating requires you to take a driving lesson at least 10 days before to assess your level and the total cost would have come out at more than $450. With some luck I stumbled on Academic driving school and one call and 10 minutes later I had the car booked for my driving test which was in less than a week! The instructor showed up to my address on time, handed the driver seat to me and proceeded to give a 1 hour driving lesson in preparation to the DMV test, with tips on what to do to make sure I pass. Test, needless to say, went super smooth. Then I was dropped off back at my place. If you need a car for the DMV test look no further, it is $289 no hassle experience.

She explains things in a way that actually makes sense and never minded going over things again until I got it. She also did a great job getting me ready for the test. She knew the common routes examiners use, so we practiced those a lot, which helped me feel more confident on the day. Equally, I appreciated the fact she never rushed me. If I messed something up, we'd just go over it again until I felt better about it. By the time my test came around, I felt and ready. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone learning to drive.
