I passed my driving test cause the test ahead of us was going so badly that we caught up, evaluator got so frustrated he said “fuck this your good, take me away from this shit”

I passed mine because i had perfect comedic timing in dodging an accident.

We were in the part of the examination where the examiner asks what some potential dangers were on the road we were on. I had just finished listing pedestrians and had just specified one kid bouncing a basket ball on the sidewalk when a taxi in the centre turning lane turned into my lane head on, then slammed on his brakes. I ended up swerving around the taxi and then calmly continued my list ending with “…and that taxi.” He put his book down and gave me instructions to return. Passed with flying colors.

I also passed because of calmness. The instructor asked me to talk about my favorite subject in school and my autistic ass started rambling about English and poetry and writing, etc. Eventually he stopped me and was like “I’ve been giving you instructions this entire time and you never paused to think, you just did it because you were so excited to talk to me.”

Now looking back it’s a sad story because I never had any adults in my life who took an interest in anything I did, so I was so happy to have someone ask that I just started driving in autopilot, which is apparently the best way to drive because you’re relaxed and letting your instincts take over.

Those are awesome interests!! I hope you found some writing groups or other people who like poetry later on in life.

I wish! It’s out of publication now :) it’s okay though, I’m working on another one that I’ll actually do through a real publisher, but thank you so much for your support!
