Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2002 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason.

Waah! I failed the driver's test again.
This time I had a rather nice male examiner and seemed to be doing okay all the way till the end. I pulled into the DMV driveway and immediately had to turn right into the "finished the driver's test" lane and I went over a bump. The examiner emitted a pained "Oh!" and had to fail me because striking an object or curb (the latter, in this case) is a Critical Driving Error.
He encouraged me with his observation that I will certainly pass the test the next time I take it. But when will I have time? And where will I get a 25-year-old licensed driver to take me to a DMV, except if I have a parent nearby, and what weekday could I do this in Stockton?
