City Scape

Ravi Sharma

The final day had arrived, i was ready with all my Dos and Donts list.

In the morning i was ready with a nice formal dress so that examiner wont think that
i m a kind of freak who love to drive fast, and he should consider me as a software
engineer who never drives more then 60km/hr
(Dont think anything about my thinking.. it was my thought)
The only thing missing Was L sighn on my car which i didnt put since
i got learner's liecence (and just FYI its compulsary to put L sighn on ur
car if you have Learner's liecence)
Anyways no problem i am from india and we know how to tackle such problems.
Balwinder(my friend) and me thought we will get it put there in the driving
liecence office befor the test. Our test was on 3:00pm so i suggested my friend that at 3:00
we will not find anybody there for putting L sighn so its better if we get it done in the morning.
But i bowed my head in front of his confidence as he said we will find some one.
   We reached there at 2:30 and luckily he got two sighs from someone who came there for test.And i was @#$%!@#$%*. No problem, i am habitual of doing things at last time so i ran away from there and after trying really hard i got 2 small L sighn for my car.
  I reached to office, We were three there,me and two sexy ladies with very short top.
I could guess why they were wearing so small tops. But doesnt matter to me i am a man and better driver then woman
they asked us to pick chits so that we can get the examiner. I got the toughest guy everybody knows that only few people gets PASS word from him. Still no problem, i will be one of them.
We went to my car he checked whether i have L sighn or not. (i was happy, atleast passed in first hurdle).
i Started the Car checked all the mirrors i have in my car if something is coming from back, although i was standing in front of a wall in parking area and even air can not come from there(backside of my car), but it was in my DO list and everybdoy was doing it, he smiled and we proceed.
befor entring to main road i checked all the side for any coming vehicle as if i am searching a needle in my suitcase.
Road was clear we proceed lil further. Then he said dont take right or left till i say else keep moving staright.
I said Yes Sir like a small kid saying \yes to his Matchs teacher.
On the way i kept reading all the sighn boards loudly
ooh this is for pedestrian..i shud slow down(anyways i was driving at 30)
and anyother sighn.Finally i reached to a round about. Round abouts suppose to be one main reason for failure.
I waited there till the roundabout was all clear and it took almost 2 minutes and all other cars behind me were shouting like anything
finally i moved from there. I was driving like as if someone kissing a girl first time and he is making sure that kiss should be last forever and he shud not be rejected while trying to kiss her.
With all these fear finally commited my mistake which i thought is a usual thing becoz every cypriot here do that
Sorry I will not describe what i did but it was a MSITAKE for that stupid Examiner. And then he took me to a narrow street which is one lane wide or may lil more then that and asked me to take 3 point turn(it means u can use front gear then back gear and in next front gear
u shud be on the way after taking U turn)
Who the hell can take this turn on that street &^%$%&*.
i knew i was fucked up becoz of it(i didnt know the earlier mistke was really a mistake he told me later)
Anywasy we reached to office and he said u have failed the exam. i said ok No surprise for me.
But Surprise was on the way when i came to know that those girls have got their liecence,
i shouted on God why i am a Man.(just kidding) and smiled atleast my guess was right.
But anyways it was time to pay more 6 pounds(600rs) to get another date for test. And now its 12 jan 2007, lets see what will happen then.
