*carrie* Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 hell yea. all i have to worry about is drivers training now, which kind of sucks because i procrastinated in taking it, so now i'm in a class with people a lot younger than me *sgh* oh well.And the uy teaching it prattles off a metaphor every other minute. We had to take that as a class in school. It was awesome. The only driving we did was to a fast food place and back! It was my favorite class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyGodiva Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 o dnt worry, mt sister was a senior this yr and she took it like 2 months ago! lol that makes me feel better. Actually mika is worse then i am with the not driving, so it's okay haha. 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 I heard about the flooding! i know some people with a cottage about 8 miles from where a house got drifted away! Right now classes are just boring, so it's just annoying to go haha, but my friend called me yesterday during class and grace kelly went off It feels SO good to be done, words can't describe. Sux about the ticket though! i'll try and be good =p We had to take that as a class in school. It was awesome. The only driving we did was to a fast food place and back! It was my favorite class !!! pfft, mine isn't like that, it's broing and sort of strics with lots of car-death videos:thumbdown:. boo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandilambi Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 Well, there's been a lot of raining and floods in Illinois and Indiana and now Iowa's getting really bad and it's still raining a lot. Ames(city in Iowa ) is flooded pretty bad and it's estimated that they'll get 6 more inches today. There was this wall thingy (sorry I don't know much about it ) that was holding back all the water, but in order to keep it from breaking and letting all the water out in one big slam they lowered it and now everyone's just waiting for the water to come down the rivers and into Des Moines where the water will go up another 6 feet. It's called a levee. Our house was flooded in 1993...it was devastating, so I truly hope you all won't be affected by the floods. 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...

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...

You have to do a theory test then you go for a pratical test. when can you start to learn to drive in usa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get her to do it this summer. yes, in the U.S. you have to to pass a course before you can drive a car. usually you can take it when you're 14 and 8 months (i think ?)
