Its already more than two weeks since I have arrived in the USA to join my husband. Though it's not my first visit to this country (I have been here twice before in the past two years) this visit is definitely different than the previous ones: I do not have a return ticket this time. Now I have to get used to the ways of life in USA. The first thing is definitely to learn driving. So after 2-3 days of brushing some knowledge about the driving rules here and taking some mock tests, Joy took me to the DMV today morning for the learner's permit. There are 36 questions you have to answer and you can make maximum 6 mistakes. Even though I had gone through all the test questions given in the DMV site, some of the questions were vague to me :) When I came out after answering Joy was waiting outside. He asked how it was and I told him I wasn't sure about some of the questions. He whispered and asked whether the alcohol question was there or not! I said yes it was and I found out that I had answered it wrong. He asked me to correct it. I went to the counter where they check the answers and give the temporary learner's permit if one answers 30 or more questions correctly. I asked the lady If I could change one of my answers. She said I could and I did. And that saved another round of answering the questions (you are allowed to take the test two more times if you fail to pass it the first time). I had exactly six questions wrongly answered excluding the alcohol one :) Phewwwww!!! That's a relief!!! So within half an hour of reaching the DMV I was holding my learner's permit :) Well, now I am licensed to kill :D
