My retest

After my first test, the whole day felt bad. Now I need to do a lots of practice.
I started taking my car to office with some of my colleagues who had a licence.
They were brave enough to help me out in my driving adventures.

I even practiced in the same route, the driving inspector would take me for the test.
It was after 5 weeks of practice, my driving seemed to improve.
I thought of giving my test at this time when my driving is good. Who knows it may go bad after a while.

When I entered the DMV (like RTO), I saw a old lady inspector taking some one for a driving test. My god, so this time I have to go with the old man again. I wished the lady some how completes the test soon and come back for my test.
'Is this a re-test' man in the counter asked me.
'Yes'
'You need to pay dollar 50 over that counter' he pointed me to another counter.
When I gave my first test, I paid just 20 dollars. Why pay 50 now. Is that the cost for driving bad the first time.
I didn't have that much money in my wallet. I asked him if I can pay by card.
'No..only cash. There is an ATM nearby. You may want to draw money from there'.
'Let me see how much i got in my wallet and how much more i need'. I thought of getting the differential amount from my friend who came with me.
When I opened the wallet, the person in the counter spotted a $5 and said
'There you go. You got a 5 dollar. you can pay that over there'.
'How does that help. I need 45 dollars more'.
'No it is dollar 50'
'but what i have is dollar 5'
'Sorry..what I mean by dollar 50 is...one dollar and 50 cents'
'Oh.., Thank you' ..I thought why wouldn't people here call one dollar 50 cents as one dollar and 50 cents.

After the payments, i waited in the hall for that inspector to come. I wished he forgot how I drove last time. Then a lady came to me and tried pronouncing my name. I got up..'it is me'
'Hi..how are you today?' she asked.
'Am fine..how about you?'
'gooood. So how do you pronounce your first name'
I pronounced it for her.
'Well I am not going to try that. I am sorry'

'I am the inspector and will be testing you today' she said as we walked towards the car. So, there are 2 lady inspectors here, i realized. I now wished the theories come true.

This time the indicators and the honking..i did it all right. She then sat in the co-driver seat and said ' I am not going to make it any harder for you. Take your own time and start when you are ready'.
I just took 2 seconds and I said I was ready and put my car in the reverse gear. Usually when you put the car in the reverse gear and take your leg slowly off the brake, the car is supposed to back. However, it didn't today. Probably it was a bit slope. So I had to press slightly the accelerator. The car jerked backward.
'I am sorry..' I said.
'Relax. Its ok'

My next 20 minute drive was all good and I am sure the lady was very happy to clear me. 'When you started to back your car, i thought it was going to be like this throughout your drive. But it was much better. So I am clearing you. Come on in to the DMV get a photo taken for your licence.'
