Hi there,

Well this morning I finally took my driving test in Chicago. Since arriving here in 2006, I have been delaying getting my license because of the hassle of finding a car to use then driving to the suburbs to take the test. Well, I recently found out that Zipcar allows you to use their vehicles if you already have a clean UK license which I have had for 10 or so years. So last week I took the written test which takes about 4-5 minutes and then the driving test today which lasts about 10 minutes. I was expecting it to be a little challenging as I still have to think about which side of the road to drive on but it was easy (UK vs. US).

The instructor was more interested in which models of cars Zipcar has, rather than whether I was on the right side of the road. I thought I would have to do a 3-point turn, parallel parking and maybe reversing around a corner but nothing. Just straight lines and a couple of turns.

Have a great holiday weekend.

This sounds like good news for me, Haven't learnt to drive fully yet even in the UK before I moved. However, once I can work out getting the DL I'll just have to worry about the insurance, annoying thing is I have my eye on a nice little VW Golf that's $2995 and I bet it'll be gone before I get the DL :(
