In VA you dont take a test at the DMV except for your permit.
You just get your permit then go to "driving school" where a fat drunk dude tells you to copy verbatim from a small book on driving while discretely chewing tabacco. Then you drive aimlessly stopping ocassionally at gas stations for food and shit, make two posters on drunk driving or agressive driving, and take a "comprehensive exam" which he drunkenly gives you a 100 on without checking.
I've been in 3 accidents, one of which costed in excess of $1500 and I passed "driving school" 10 months ago. I don't understand most traffic laws and I'm known to make frequent illegal turns.
