After the 3 times i've been to the states its apparant that people in SC don't really know how to park so they just make spaces big enough for a Panzer in the hope they wont knock anything down when parking

I recall telling a new arrival that you had to be blind/deaf/dumb to fail it.
I wanted to die when she did fail it at her first attempt

HEY!! I live in Charleston, SC- call me when you get here! The test I took was so ridiculously easy...the theory test was the same old thing- read the hwy code -but even if you didn't, I can't imagine you would fail- I just walked in one day and took it on a whim. The actual test was funny- she was too busy looking at her nails- I did a 3 point turn on the widest road ever. The hardest thing was parallel parking between the barriers- only because I don't ever have to parallel park around here! I think that there are certain DMVs around Charleston that you have to go to if you're not a permanent resident. You might want to find out which one it is- go to one that's not downtown- driving downtown is a nightmare (as you probably already know). ANYWHERE out of the downtown area is so so easy because the roads are sooo wide and much quieter.
