It would be a long holiday.
Yeah,South America is beautiful and very diverse,we have tropical forests near equator and deciduous forests in andes!
and a large range of climates too,even i want meet better.
Americans need a proper real driving test not some stupid thing where you drive round a few corners and your done.
Where I live you have first a test where you need to memorise everything, the pass mark is 43/50, you cannot cheat on this. Then we have the practical test which is where you do a couple of movements and then drive for about 6 miles.
I did the parallel park and the emergency stop, I failed the first time because I didn't look at the roundabout. The test is very hard, you have to be perfect. The American test is awful.
That sounds excessive, you shouldn't have to learn pit maneuvers and barrel rolls in order to earn your license. Driving isn't that complicated, and the test shouldn't be made extremely difficult. There's only so much you can learn without real driving experience.
Here you have to go through the permit process first, which is a memorization/common sense test, then you have to sit through a five hour drivers-ed course, and then you can take the road test, which isn't exactly a cakewalk, but it's fairly simple. I passed on the first try, but most people I know didn't.
Didn't want to disclose my exact location, so I put a marker a ~20 miles away from where I actually live.
Same here. You don't have to put exact location, nobody needs to know that
