Why Can't I Just Take This Stupid Test Online? A Rant
So, you're ready to conquer the world, or at least get your learner's permit. You've studied the driver's manual until your eyeballs are glazed over, and you know the difference between a yield sign and a stop sign better than you know your own birthday. You're pumped, you're ready, you're... stuck waiting for a DMV appointment?
The Digital Age, But Not For Permits
We live in a world where you can order groceries, book flights, and even diagnose your weird rash with a few taps on your phone. But when it comes to getting a little piece of paper that says you're legally allowed to drive a car, suddenly we're back in the stone age.
I mean, seriously? In 2024, we can't take a permit test online? It's like the DMV is stuck in a time warp, reliving the glory days of dial-up internet. They probably think a fax machine is cutting-edge technology.
The DMV: A Black Hole of Time
And don't even get me started on scheduling a DMV appointment. It's like trying to get tickets to a Taylor Swift concert, but with less excitement and more paperwork. You refresh the page a million times, only to find that every appointment is booked solid for the next six months. It's enough to make you want to give up and just hitchhike everywhere.
So, What's the Deal?
You might be wondering, "Why can't they just let us take the test online?" Well, the short answer is: bureaucracy. The long answer involves a bunch of technical jargon and government mumbo-jumbo that will probably put you to sleep. But let's face it, it's mostly just plain old laziness.
In conclusion, getting a learner's permit in New York is a test of patience, not driving ability. But hey, at least you'll have plenty of time to practice your parallel parking while you wait.
