I went to the BMV and got the temporary instruction packet that I have to get before getting my permit. It’s basically just a book of all the things that I should and shouldn’t do while driving that I’ll have to take a test over when I actually do get my permit. They did, however, give me a photo ID card. It looks like a permit, it smells like permit, it even comes with a student driver sticker, but it’s not quite a permit.
Before you ask: yes, the photo is ugly, and most people my age already have a license. I wanted to wait so that I could get the license without paying for driver’s ed. Under Ohio law, if I’m 18 I don’t have to take driver’s ed which costs about $300. I’m not 18 yet, but by the time I actually get my license I will be.
Blogroll changes: I added Appalacian Hermitage, which is the home of the blogger formerly known as PenguinBoy. Not the original PenguinBoy, but the new PenguinBoy. For those of you who have no idea what I mean by original and new PenguinBoy, don’t worry about it. PenguinBoy still remains on my blogroll, but that may be removed soon, as it is inactive.
