Drivers are scored for their experience in avoiding acci dents. If you pass the test, you get to have that hideous mug shot taken. Embarrassed, you'll hide it in your wallet for many years. Now you can drive solo. Randi Brockman simply loves it. Jim- my Clements says driving would be enjoyable if he only had a ste- reo in his car. One girl was driving down Ste- venson Road. She says, I didn't see a car coming and did not yield. 170fMcGregor-Palter The car hit me. The driver of the other car turned out to be a 17 year-old good looking guy from Poly. I called him up to straighten things out and he invited me to lunch. He said, 'I'll take you to lunch before I take you to court!' But now we're friends. Driving is not always a pleasur- able experience. David Harris has already been in two fender bend- ers. fSorry, David. We had to put it in. HORIZON hopes your moth- er never reads this.J Thus, driving is both a curse and blessing. Drivers can take the car to school. But they risk getting hit in the parking lot by a novice. However, most drivers do not seem to worry about this. On any morning, just look at the long line of cars parked around the school.

Many hours of preparation preceed the driver's test. First, you, the 16 year-old non-driver, sign up for dri- ver's education. John Cimbalista of the Liberty Driving School teaches traffic laws and emergency actions to avoid po- tential accidents. Being a math teacher as well, he places a good deal of emphasis on calculating stopping distances. After 30 hours of boring, but nec- essary classroom instruction, you're ready to drive. If Mr. Cimbalista fakes a heart at- tack while you're driving with him, don't call an ambulance-he's only trying to tell you that you almost hit something, Also, watch out where you put your left foot: How many times have I told you not to rest your left foot on the brake pedal! Parents cause much of the ner- vousness learning drivers experience. 4 TR A Nyafg ,. ' A- . '-1 ' M. M! r ' L ,ge NH v K 'La . . E so ' I in - Q l s an 1 .

Suzanne Reidy, in contrast, felt overconfidentf' She once ran into a fence. After driving around for a while, you the aspiring driver, head toward Mondawmin Mall, Westminster or Glen Burnie to take the driver's test. You stand in a long registration line. Then the Motor Vechicle Admiistra- tion gives the eye test and written exam. After passing the tests you drive your car to the test course, a maze of traps designed to make you fail. One of the worst traps is the turna- bout. You have three minutes to turn around inside a tiny space. Watch it, don't knock down any of the marker flags. Then you have to parallel park. You must be less than a foot from the curb. But don't get too close and go up the curb-you'll lose 16 points. You'll fail the test. 4 Located in a trailer behind the school, the driving simulator provides experience with various road emergencies and condi- tions.
