Still an illegal driver

Failed my driving test for the 2nd time today.

Last Thursday when I failed it the first time, it was with the same 2 other people. One lady from China (徐琳？）and another form Philippines. Today (because Friday was a national holiday) it was the 3 of us again. And tomorrow, the same trio again, like a poor man's losing trifecta ticket.

Last Thursday I failed because I did not drive close enough to the left side of the road, and because I went over the curb during the "crank" (two consecutive perpendicular turns, on an approx. 1.2 x car width road). I thought: alright, I got this. As long as I make it through the crank I'll be find the second time.

Today I failed because I did not drive close enough to the left side of the road (eventhough I was pretty sure I almost drove over the left white line a couple of times), I fell off the road instead of over the curb during the crank this time...plus I downshifted while making a turn, and that I did not look over my right shoulder to check my blind spot while making a right turn (read that again: checking blind spot during a right hand turn for fuck's sake and I know that guy'll probably say "Sumimasenga, but that's pronounced S-A-K-A-Y in Japan." well FUCK YOU!).

I have taken 2 vacation days already for this. Every minute I sit in the Japanese DMV is one less minute laying on a sunny Thai beach or toasting the New Year in CA or jerking off at home. And we all know what happens when you take a man's jerking off away from him.

For info about the ridiculously unpractical Japanese "practical" driving test, see here.
