Chapter 660 - Driving Test

Mathew bit on the omelet wrapped in strips of thin meat and smiled broadly.
"Sis, I'm impressed!
Your cooking is improving day by day."
"Of course!
Who do you think I am?
I will become the greatest chef in Carona within the next few years.
So just watch me!" His sister said with burning flames of passion in her eyes.
"Oh?
Ah... it's good that I'm related to you.
That way I can hug all the glory when you finally make it.
By then, I'll change my name to [the brother of the famous chef]." Mathew said teasingly as he looked at his sister that appeared nothing like she did when she body-slammed him this morning and couldn't help but marvel at how women could change so much.
Previously, she looked like a wandering ghost with her long black hair.
But how, she looked like the 3rd ranked high school Goddess that she was.
Sigh... Women!
Mathew ate as much as he could and hurriedly left his apartment within District H.
He hopped on the bus, showed his bus pass, took a seat, and hastily looked at his watch.
Phew!
He had made it on time.
Baymard was extremely huge, and moving from one district to another at the standard speed would take about 33 minutes without traffic.
He was all the way in district H, and he needed to head on over to district C.
So when one took into account the traffic, bus stops, and bus switches that he would have to make... that was additional time too.
Baymard was so big that it felt like one was sometimes moving from city to city.
The Upper region was as massive as an entire city, the Central regions, Lower regions and even the Coastal regions were the same too.
So it was no wonder that one would feel like they were sometimes leaving Baymard when they moved around from the different regions.
Luckily for him, he had accounted for everything in his plans.
So he was good.
When he thought about how many hours one would usually take by horse just to travel across the different regions, he couldn't help but thank the heavens for allowing cars, trains and buses to be invented.
That would've been one long-ass journey.
Of course taking the train after one bus stop would certainly cut his time by half since the trains were so damn fast.
But, he needed time to go over some of his notes.
Hence, he chose the long route instead.
He let out a brief sigh of relief and tried to catch his breath as the bus left the bus stop.
Now, it was time to look over a few things before the Road Test.
.
After 4 bus switches, Mathew had finally arrived at the bus stop a few blocks away from the Driving School.
The building was very wide and had only 2 floors to it.
"Good morning sir.
Are you here for written examinations, Road Tests or classes?"
"Ahhh...I usually come here for classes, but I'm here for the Class 7: Level 2 beginner's Road test."
"Alright.
Just follow the hallway over there, make a left turn and head towards hall B-13."
"Thank you!"
With that, Mathew followed the instructions and removed in the hall.
His classes were typically on the second floor, so this was his first time being in any of the halls on ground-level.
He quickly spotted his friend and headed over towards here.
"Hey, you?
Why are you only coming in now?
Only 15 minutes more and it would've been examination time."
"Morning to you too Sam.
I wanted to take time on the bus to read over some things before I got here." Mathew said while pinching his friend's chubby cheeks.
She was so doll-like that sometimes, he just couldn't help it.
Some more of his friends crowded around them, and a minute later... one of their instructors walked in and the entire hall quieted down.
"Morning everyone.
The day has finally come to put what you've learned into practice.
So before we head out to the field, let's begin by doing roll call.
Adam Friedman."
"Present!"
"Ave Bianca Woods."
"Present!"
"Present!"
"Present!"
"Present!"
The roll call went by fast, as there were only 30 students for this session.
One should know that at least once a week, examinations are held at different time intervals for all licence classes for those who register for them.
So today was only meant for those who were either taking the class 7: level 1 written permit test or the class 7: level 2 road test.
Each session was planned for 3 hours.
So one could say that he had registered to join the first batch of Class 7 examiners for today, and after 3 hours... another batch would come in to take their road test.
Typically, a road test could take about 29~30 minutes... But since it was recommended that they drive on a busy highway, it would take longer since Baymard was large.
After checking basic things like parallel parking and whatnot, each student would be given a destination to go to which involved a busy highway that needed them to think fast and make decisions quickly.
Quick thinking was essential on the roads.
So they would have to think and act fast and as safely as possible.
For themselves, as well as the pedestrians and those around them.
.
With roll call over, Mathew and his class followed their instructor and arrived at the back of the building, which had a very massive car park with several cars, trucks and other vehicles in it.
The space was so big that one could build a mall on it.
Of course today, Mathew was only focusing on driving a regular car.
So the other motor vehicles weren't his cup of tea for now.
Nonetheless, just looking at everything made his blood boil even more.
It reminded him that he still had a long way to go when it came to driving.
Heheheh!
Soon, he would master all these vehicles!!
