Step 1: Conquering the Classroom (without Falling Asleep)

Tip: Reading on mobile? Zoom in for better comfort.
- Road signs that aren't just pretty pictures (though some of them are pretty weird).

Remember: The pink slip is just the beginning. Now comes the real test: surviving the road with all your limbs intact (and maybe even your dignity). But hey, you've got the knowledge, the skills, and the bragging rights of having aced driver's ed. Now go forth and conquer the asphalt jungle, young driver! Just, you know, try not to become a meme on those "Worst Drivers Caught on Camera" compilations.
