The roads are no longer safe

Written for premit.
Actual driving course for the real thing.
You have to make an 80 or above on both to pass the tests . I made an 80 exactly on the premit and the actual test.

Here, in Spain, getting a driving license is harder and harder every day. You only can obtain a driving license with 18 years. But before, you have to assist to a 2 months course of theorical concepts (with book). If you pass the theorical exam (50 questions, with 3 wrong you fail), you begin with the practical lessons, 20 of them are obligatory, 25€ per class. But if you need more, there is no "pack".

If you fail one of this exams, you have to renovate the papers again, more money for the state. An average person can spend about 1500$ in getting the license, but it\'s normal to find people that hace already spent 4000$ in the process and doesn\'t get it yet.

It\'s extra hard. If you fails 3/50 questions, you\'re dead. If you forget to watch to the mirror in a determined moment during the practical exam, you\'re dead. This is incredible...

Damn. I would of never got mine, as I forgot to look in my mirrors during my whole course test. I also forgot about my turning signals and etc.

Written test I didn\'t even read for, I just guessed the answers.

Even engineers, people with careers and smart students have serious problems to pass the theorical exam: full of tricky questions, problematic situations...

For now, just one big suggestion:

Always use your turning signal.  EVERY time you change lanes.  EVERY time you make a turn.  ALWAYS.  If you do that, it will save your ass several times during your driving career.  Guaranteed.

OK, class dismissed.

Amen brother.
I always use the turning signal and I curse people that don\'t.

And all this time I thought the turning signal was a christmas decoration that you only brought out once a year..

Damn!

Your happy w/ your permit, come on, its more fun without your parents in the backseat.  I know that.  Anyway, driving is fun, I\'ve been doing it quite a while now.

Even when people use the turn signals, sometimes they turn it on a split second before they switch lanes...
