There was a big storm here last night that lasted about 30 minutes or so. Thunder, lightning, and strong winds. Lots of trees were blown over that knocked down power lines. I was at Youth Group, and the wind was so strong, it blew my church's tiles off. I'm okay....finally relaxing after an ordeal to get my license renewed. BOO! LOL How are ya? Ew, that doesn't sound so fun, hah. I'm pretty good. Exams start tomorrow. I'll be cramming later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finkster Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 omg! that would b scary, haveing the tiles blown off?! Yea, we were all scared. It sounded like a car was going to drive through the window. When I went outside, it was like a scene from a horror movie. Tree branches all over the streets, the tiles everywhere, sirens going off left and right, and a lightening storm a few miles away. The lightening looked really neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoPerrin Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Megan, hope all is well and not too over flooding. We did get a lot of rain last weekend. Tornado warnings, flash flooding. Everything here in our part of Illinois is okay now. We got a little freaked out about the tornado warning though. We had to go in our aunts and uncles basement because we were house and dog sitting. Laura, hope all goes with the drivers education class. The written exam was kind of hard for us. That was probably back in 2002. We passed the driving part well enough. I, Megan have got a speeding ticket. Me and my sister were late for a college class and I passed someone and sped up to around 80 because I hate being in the other lane for a long time so I tend to gun it while passing. A cop caught me. Had to get it off my record and everything. And the bummer was that I had this presentation in about 5 minutes. That is the only ticket I got. Woohoo that finals and classes are over for you. We love that feeling. We start more college in the fall. Well, better get back to work, I'm on a little break. So how is everyone doing? We hope fine and dandy. The Meyer Twins Megan and Haley Sorry bout this but wot is the drivers education class? unsure it we have it in the uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finkster Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Sorry bout this but wot is the drivers education class? unsure it we have it in the uk It's a class that teaches the basics of driving. The rules on the road, what different signs and hand signals mean, the lines on the road, basics about the car, things like that. I'm not sure if every state here is the same, but I took mine last year in school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i'm really late taking it. It sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She only has to take me to the place with my information, I take an eye test, and presto! I get my permit. But she wont take me..

Here you have to go to a driving school to actually learn to drive. After 6 months of driving lessons, you can get your permit, or you can just wait until you're seventeen (which I did because I don't have money to pay for those lessons!). After you get your permit you can take the road test, and if you pass, you get your license. The age varies from state to state. In New Jersey you can start at sixteen, but an adult must be in the car, and you can only have one other passenger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In england they dont teach you bout cars in senior school. you get your provisional drivers licence then you go for lesions. they dont take you unless they can see you have your licence. the teacher puts you in for a theory test that you do in frount of a computer then you have 2 years to pass your pratical driving testr. if you dont pass before 2 years then you have to do your theory again. my mate kirst has to do that. i past 6 months after my theory test.

You have to take a class and at the end of the class you take a test and if you pass that you get a temporary permit (have to drive with adult) and then segment two, if you pass the road test then you can drive at 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
