This was me during the five-hour course (Not actually me.)

How can I put it? Hmm. A pain in the ass works... A waste of five hours... Time I could have spent doing homework... All of the above? Yeah, that sounds about right. As a 17-year old who's itching to get his license, this was just fucking terrible. I can't even think of the words to describe it.

New York requires this five-hour course. Yes, it is actually five hours long. During that time, I learned absolutely nothing about driving. What was taught could be summed up as "Don't drive drunk, Don't text and drive, Don't drive while tired." And that somehow took five fucking hours. FIVE HOURS OF MY LIFE I WILL NEVER GET BACK. Instead of talking about driving, the person talked about biology. BIOLOGY! Why the fuck does anyone need to know how the liver processes alcohol?

And of course they used the "shock and awe" technique to scare us into never driving again. Isn't there a better way to say drinking and driving is a terrible idea than showing us dead people? Honestly! The instructor essentially told us to never drive unless you just woke up, to burn your phone, to toss your car radio out the window, and to never touch a drop of alcohol in your life. The only thing I got out of this was a cute girl's number.

Have an Agera R for reading.

"...Don't sleep while tired..."

Shit! I've been doing this wrong MY WHOLE LIFE.

And yeah, it's a drag. Unfortunately there are plenty of people who need to be told these things over and over... and still won't get why it's a bad idea.

They covered biology but didn't say don't have sex while driving? OK then!

Hey, at least you got some chick's number. It wasn't a total waste of an afternoon.
