90% for me...I was surprised at one of the two that I got wrong...but I guess when I really thought about it again, I understood the correct answer!


Hmmmm...DH is thinking of letting DSD drive while she is here for the summer. Perhaps she needs to test first!! lol

BTW- anyone know if a FL drivers temp permit would be good in OH? I probably need to call and ask the State Troopers...

I prefer driving in the south!! Moving here, I had to learn how to drive in the snow, sleet & ice (give me good ole fashioned sand any day:) ), on the autobahn (recommended speed 130kph/about 80mph) & up what the Germans lovingly call "hills"...where I'm from their flippin' mountains!!:grumpy:
