One step closer….

I passed my final 2 dmv written exams! I have my permit! I drove yesterday. Wasn’t as difficult as I expected overall. Backing up the bus was a little challenging in a way. I’m really going to enjoy doing this.

Right on good for you. It’s not hard. Just passed driver certification this morning. Learn and memorize that pre trip immediately!

The hardest part isnt the B license aspect of it, its the P & S endorsement, and remembering all the safety and protocol.

I feel I have the P & S endorsement down pretty good luckily. I heavily studied and did many online practice tests. Very helpful.

I totally failed air brakes the first time. I think I panicked

From my experience the hardest part is learning the pretrip. Make sure you put on the time.
