And she is.......a Driver

Elaine had her sixteenth birthday on Monday. She was fortunate because Edith and Bethanie had planned a trip to Dryden for that day. That meant that she could take her drivers exam on the first possible day of her life. She has been studying the manual and reviewing the information.

Well, she went for her exam on Monday. She got all the questions right on the sign exam, and only missed two questions on the other exam. She walked out of the Drive Test office with her level 1 drivers license. With a level 1 license she needs someone with four years of driving experience to drive with her for the first year. Next June she can take the next test, and if she passes move to a level 2 license.

She has been driving some and is doing quite well. I think she will be a good driver. She has driven the car a few times, which gives her the added challenge of shifting a manual transmission. Let's see now, which pedal is the clutch?

Here she is with the keys and her license just before her first drive on the road.

This is her birthday party a few hours later.
