The look of a concerned driver<\/p><\/div>\n

Today we arrived at the DMV so that Eric could take his behind the wheel drivers test. We began by sitting in line to wait for a driving test administrator. We saw each driving test administrator come out, go to a car in front of us, do the safety test where they check the car out to make sure the brake lights, signals, wipers and other things work.<\/p>\n

We still had a couple of vehicles in line in front of us when another test administrator came out. We also noticed a car pull into a parking spot clearly marked, \u201cNo Parking \u2013 Reserved for the end of the Driving Test.\u201d No sooner did the driver of the car get out and the test administrator was yelling at the person. \u201cNo parking. Can\u2019t you read? You cannot park there. It is an automatic failure.\u201d Eric and I looked at each other. The test administrator walked up to the first car which was three cars in front of us. Two cars were with drivers being tested. Would Eric get the man who yelled \u201cAutomatic Failure\u201d as his test administrator?<\/p>\n

Time passed and we moved up further in line. The next two vehicles in front of us went out with the other two test administrators. The last car came back with Mr. Automatic Failure as the test administrator. We just sat in the car and waited for his return. Eric was showing signs of being nervous.<\/p>\n

Mr. Automatic Failure came out and walked to the driver\u2019s side door. Eric shook his hand out the window and said, \u201cHow are you today Sir? I got out of the care and walked to the front of the building to wait. I was there just a moment when Eric came to tell me that we had not checked in. Mr. Automatic Failure led us in the building and facilitated us checking in quickly. He was a very nice person and Eric showed great respect. Check in was quick and Eric was out driving for the test administrator. He came back with a smile. <\/p>\n
