            I haven't had to take any kind of driving test in many years and I have never been in an accident and only bee stopped once in my life and that was for speeding after I pulled a weekend of coding without sleep.

                  Well, I'd have to get a tux. And today? Such short notice! Where would I get one? I'd definitely fail.

                    Recently, I did actually pass some one on the right. Technically, it wasn't illegal because there wasn't a road on the right.

                        Based upon what I see on the roads, there's nothing formal about driving that I can surmise. :)

                            So driving in the shoulder is suddenly legal?

                            Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

                              In fact, I had forgotten to renew my license a few years ago. Thankfully I was only two weeks after expiration, so they didn't make me take any tests. I was quite worried. :)

                                Try doing it in a semi. Its a bit more difficult

                                If it moves, compile it

                                  If there had been a shoulder I am sure it would be illegal but considering I was passing two drunk drivers in two pickup trucks creating a rolling roadblock because it was "funny" I would probably have been the least of the Sheriff's concern.

                                        Reminds me of that segment from "Over the Top" where the dad has the kid drive the truck since the kid thinks it's oh so simple. I imagine truck driving can be stressful at times.
