Knowing that never again do I have to wake up at 5:30 AM to drive 2
and 1/2 hours to the drivers testing center just to have someone tell
me that my right turns are sloppy and my left turns could use some
work or that I check too many times when looking for oncoming traffic
or that my signals aren't quick enough or I drive too slow or too fast
or that I need to have the right heart when driving in Japan :
