You could have parked 3 trucks and 4 school buses between the cones and still have room for a couple of SUV's.

I got 90% which I suppose is quite good considering I don't know the NJ regs. I got the one about the 'practice times for a learners permit' & 'the legal age to register a car' questions wrong, but not bad considering.

Hehe. The one I got wrong when I did my CA test (having literally just 'stepped off the boat') was something to do with the CHP. Didn't have a clue what the initials stood for

I thought it impossible to fail a driving test over here. You only have to see the standard of driving here in California. I passed first time, took 15mins, around the block & back. Have driven for 35 yrs in England but will NOT drive on the roads here, I got licence to prove identity, which you need all the time here.

Hello!

You are? (British, missing the beer, married to a Yank, in IT ... tick as appropriate and fill in the blanks...)

Where are you - surely it can't be that bad...
