I am going to wait and see what the dr. school has to say first because the teacher who was with me in the car should have said something which he didn't.americanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09256379753235247810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612302419960028709.post-69994307345952333622009-05-25T17:09:58.680+02:002009-05-25T17:09:58.680+02:00hi! I, too, am an american living here in spain.....hi! I, too, am an american living here in spain...galicia to be exact. I paid the high prices too. I took my first driving exam last week....was attacked verbally by the examiner because I am an american. Needless to say, I didn't pass because superman (a young boy running and jumping over a median with bushes in the middle FROM the street..not the crosswalk jumped onto the crosswalk)...and this happened right at the end of my lovely 40 minute driving around the town trip.everyone else drove 15 minutes but I drove 40...all the while listening to the abuses flow from the mouth of this racist idiot sitting behind me. I have a meeting with the dr. school soon to discuss this...I am searching the net trying to find out what I need to do and where I have to go to file a complaint. The school insists that I take the test again...because I can have 2 tries....HELLO!!!! They seem to be the only ones that don't see a discriminacion pattern.....Before I took the test, I thought that the stories that people told me about them (examiners) were only because they failed...boy, did I learn the hard way...no, some or all are true. For those of you who passed without all this B.S...CONGRATULATIONS!!! for those of you who are in a similar situation, my prayers are with you.americanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09256379753235247810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612302419960028709.post-66378383701006015682009-04-22T10:13:00.000+02:002009-04-22T10:13:00.000+02:00Yes, the girl who spent 3000€ did pass.

Everyone I've ever talked to either learned from their parents or in Driver's Ed in school!!<br /><br />And, Linda, I like your thinking!!!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10812419799462386490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612302419960028709.post-49303320170188256802009-04-22T02:41:00.000+02:002009-04-22T02:41:00.000+02:00Hooray, Amy!

Apparently, having a Missouri license allowed him to bypass the (then) mandatory lessons and take his German driving test. He says it saved him $1000 or so. I believe you should treat yourself to some really fine shoes to celebrate the fact that you didn't need to spend 3000e to get your license!

But my parents spent nearly $300 on driving school in the DC area ten years ago... granted it's not 3,000 euros, but in places in the States private driving schools are also <I>de rigueur</I>.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05698905998187559561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612302419960028709.post-34062046556246216702009-04-20T22:57:00.000+02:002009-04-20T22:57:00.000+02:00Did the girl who spent 3000euros pass?
