I also laughed as you all did when Spongebob failed in the driving exam. I thought since I already have a Turkisch driving licence and drove in a chaotic traffic for 6 years, I would have no problem whatsoever with a new driving exam here in Germany where order rules on the streets. You already know that I passed the written but what you don't know is I failed in the practical exam which was two weeks ago. Yeah, quite embarrasing. It's been quite a burden for me and destroyed my self confidence. When a candidate fails, he can take the next exam earliest in two weeks.
Today was the second exam and God knows I was good prepared this time. Yesterday we were all around the exam course with Viola, consisting of a industry region where there are big supermarkets, furniture stores, etc. and inner city where the traffic is always dense. It's unbelieveable how much data must the brain process and how much concentration it takes to not to make a mistake. And sometimes it takes an oracle to know about the right of way situation on a cross. It is absolutely impossible to drive perfect. But I passed you guys!!! :)) I made a few mistakes but they weren's as bad as in the first exam. On Monday I'll have my EU driving licence.
Have you eaten Macadamia nuts (A.k.a. the queen of nuts)? They're pretty good!
