イギリスの免許を書き換えに府中自動車教習所に行ってきた。
筆記試験と実技試験があると聞いていたのだが、
イギリスの免許はそれら両方とも免除で、今日免許を取得できた!
しかし、府中の係員はとても不親切で、もう少しでキレるところだった。
だが、免許がゲットできたので、すべては結果オーライとしよう。
同じく、免許の書き換えに来ていた、オーストラリア留学から帰ってきたShifumiさんと知り合い、
免許取得の喜びを分かち合った。
Shifumiさんは偶然にも、東大和市に住んでいるので、帰りは家まで車で送ってくれた。
彼女はオーストラリアで国際免許を取得したので、既に日本でばりばり運転しているらしい。
それに対して僕といえば、免許を取った3月以来一度も運転していないので、
明日から練習だ。よくこんなもんで免許をくれたなあ。
夕方父とダイヤモンド・シティへ連れて行ってもらい、靴とズボンを買った。
I went to a driving test centre in Fuchu to convert my UK driving
license.
I was told that there will be a paper test and a practical test,
but as my license it the almighty British one (not the crappy American
license hohoho),
I was exempted from both of those test and got my full license on spot,
I was like YES!
But I was so close from swearing against those officers at the driving
test, they were such a prickly people.
But I cannot complain too much, as I got my license on the day, after
all, it was quite an efficient process (but prickly).
I met Shifumi, a girl who just came back from her study in Australia
and was there to convert her license.
We shared our happiness together and she even gave me a lift back home
as she happened to live in my Higashiyamato city.
Shifumi is already a good driver, as she has been driving in Japan
using her international license,
but as for me,
I haven't driven since March, so I have to practise from tomorrow.
In the evening, my dad gave me a lift to Diamond City and I bought
shoes and trousers.
