Another Idiot on the Road

Yes, it's me! Many people over the years have found it incredulous that I did not have, nor had I ever had, a U.S. driver's license. Even at 19 they were surprised. I've never had one revoked or suspended, because I've never had one!

Driving is not a right; it's a privilege. Yet so many people take it for granted every day, so much so that people do all kinds of things in their cars in the middle of traffic! One lady was arrested for taking both hands off the steering wheel to put on makeup on the most dangerous stretch of road in the UK. Are we in so much of a hurry that we can't do this crap at home?

How I got this far without driving is a long story. It was due to a combination of circumstance, luck, misfortune, ingenuity, and (you may not believe this one) patience. Despite fighting it tooth and nail, I guess I'll grow up now. The support I received the last few months to get to this point has been invaluable, memorable and humbling.

So. . .Anyone selling a car? Free to good home? :)

That post makes it sound like you might have had a Canadian driver's license, eh?

But yeah, congratulations. I know how hard you battled for that.
