It has been a rather protracted affair though:
- Tuesday evening: went to CPF (main centre here with facilities, a bit like base camp) to see HSE/driving people about our licences. NIET. I do not have an international licence and Sasha did not have some form or other. Tomorrow (savtra), someone else will be on their rotation, ask them.
- Wednesday afternoon: back to CPF. Here is my licence. Why you need licence? Everybody give Dievushka(young lady) lift. Hahahaha. Very funny. Now gimme the licence! OK, read these safety instructions. Come back savtra
- Thursday afternoon: back to CPF. Radik let me drive, to get used to the car. Did medical test (breathaliser, blood pressure). Here is a copy of my licence. OK, what would you do if you breakdown? Run away? OK good. Let's drive, davai! Drive to main road, turn right (no traffic), drive at 40kph for 15 minutes, 3-point turn (no traffic), very good, back to CPF. Vot licence, but you must do medical again tomorrow and come back. Savtra, savtra.
-Friday afternoon: here is the medical certificate. Very good. You can drive! Savtra...

Well done on the driving !
Passing driving tests seems to run in the family this week ....

When I took my UK driving test in 1977, I had had an American driving license for 5 years. I failed the first time and the instructor said, and this is a quote: "There are two ways to drive a car - there is the American way and there is the correct way!"
However, the second examiner did not agree with him fortunately...
