Thanks. I'm feeling better today.
I've been driving for more than 47 years. The first few just weren't legal or in the city (Canadian prairie (Saskatchewan) country roads). Took my learners on my 16th birthday. Failed the eye exam. Had to get glasses (2 days I think). Went back, passed the learners. Booked a road exam - they had a cancellatin for May 12th. Take it. Had never parallel parked before (not much need on country roads) or driven in the city. Crash course in those for the next few days. Off on the 12th, passed with flying colours, even though at one point they made me start on hill (3 -on- the - tree standard) (hand brake start - my Dad taught me) and a bunch of one-way streets in downtown. I was happier than anything.
PS: I still have and use the socket and wrench set that my parents gave me for my 16th birthday. Just the other day, the 1/2" drive rachet decided to think about failing for a couple of minutes. But then it changed its mind and carried on. They don't make them like that anymore
