The day before the second road test, Dong Qiangqiang checked the weather. The forecast said that the next day would be a sunny day, which made him feel relieved.
After listening to coach Karina's advice, Dong Qiangqiang signed up through another driving license examination agency, Dekra, but he still chose to start from the driving school.
The test time was set at 9 o'clock in the morning. Wearing the PL shirt given by Lao Bai, Dong Qiangqiang arrived outside the driving school at 7:30, recalling the previous practice while waiting for the coach and examiner.
If Dong Qiangqiang was still determined to pass the road test for the first time, this time Dong Qiangqiang has completely put it aside.
Anyway, after passing the road test, you still have to prepare for the preparatory exam. Only after the preparatory exam can you know what you can and cannot do next. If he failed the second road test, he would take it a third time and take a look at the legendary "IQ test" that he had to complete after failing the road test twice. To take a step back, even if he does not have a driver's license, he can still learn to be a tour guide from Lao Bai, and being a driver is not the only way. If learning to be a tour guide is no longer feasible, he will go directly to work in the Green Light Nursing Home in August. Anyway, he will definitely have something to do.
After thinking of various escape routes, Dong Qiangqiang felt peaceful in his heart, and his tense nerves gradually relaxed.
"There must be a road before a car reaches a mountain" does not mean that a new road suddenly appears in front of the mountain, but that the driver changes the way he thinks about problems and looks at things from a new perspective, so he can discover a road that existed before but has A road that has always been neglected.
Around 8:12, Karina appeared on the street driving a driving school car that Dong Qiangqiang was familiar with.
Since there was still enough time before the exam, Karina asked Dong Qiangqiang to drive a few more laps in the downtown area. While reminding Dong Qiangqiang of the points he should pay attention to, she told him to pay attention to where roads were being built in the surrounding areas, where detours or temporary traffic signs were posted, and where old people, children or cyclists might suddenly appear.
Listening to Karina's earnest teachings, Dong Qiangqiang became more and more focused.
A few minutes before 9 o'clock, Dong Qiangqiang and Karina were quietly discussing several theoretical issues outside the car, when they heard someone not far away saying hello in a loud voice: "Good morning!"
Karina and Dong Qiangqiang turned around at the same time and saw an old man with a wide body and white beard and hair who looked like Santa Claus striding towards them.
"Hoffmann Muller." The old man said and took the initiative to hand over his examiner's certificate. "I am your examiner today. You can just call me Muller or Hoffmann."
Dong Qiangqiang thought to himself that this examiner was obviously different from the last examiner Gute. He seemed friendly and kind, unlike Gute who had a droopy face when he appeared, as if someone owed him a lot of money.
After checking Dong Qiangqiang's ID, the three of them got in the car and sat down.
Dong Qiangqiang still first checked whether the three people's seat belts were fastened, and Hoffman was not in a hurry to let Dong Qiangqiang start the car. He still asked a few small questions related to the driving and mechanical principles of the car in a formulaic manner. These questions Dong Qiangqiang He has long known it by heart, and even if he doesn't understand it, he can recite it fluently. Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang was answering fluently, Hoffman waved his hand with satisfaction, and the car slowly drove onto the street.
Since he had just driven in the city, Dong Qiangqiang was very familiar with the traffic conditions in the city. Hoffman did not rush to let him run on the highway, but directed Dong Qiangqiang to drive towards the residential area in the suburbs.
Most residential areas have speed limit signs of 30, and the speed cannot be increased at all. Dong Qiangqiang does not have to worry too much about sudden braking and stalling, but he must always be wary of third parties that suddenly appear, such as extremely fast cyclists or motorcycles. Xia.
Crossroads and T-junctions without traffic lights abound in residential areas. In many places, there is only one zebra crossing. Some zebra crossings have become dim due to age and cannot be seen without paying attention.
Dong Qiangqiang knew that Hoffman was testing his understanding and application of a car's right of driving at an intersection, so he deliberately drove the car towards an intersection he was familiar with.
His first road test was focused on understanding priorities, so he had already conducted intensive exercises to address this shortcoming in subsequent driving practices. He made up his mind that he would never let things like priority interfere with getting his driver's license.
German traffic regulations stipulate that whoever has the right of driving priority goes first. You must give way when you should, but you must not give way when you shouldn't. But at any time, pedestrian safety will outweigh traffic regulations. He repeated it silently in his mind, and even began to pray that a similar situation would occur again so that he could express his understanding of traffic regulations to the examiner, but at the same time he was surprised that his thoughts were too scary.
It's just that this time he was very lucky. At several intersections where priority disputes were prone to occur, he encountered neither cars nor people, and safely avoided all possible traps.
Seeing that he couldn't reach the car and most of the time had passed, Hoffman had no choice but to let Dong Qiangqiang onto the highway.
Different from the last expressway, this expressway has neither road signs nor too many speed limit signs, but there are many turns. Since the tall trees on the roadside would block the driver's view from time to time, Dong Qiangqiang did not dare to speed up and could only carefully let the speed hover around 100 mph.
After driving smoothly for more than ten minutes, Hoffman ordered Dong Qiangqiang to get off the highway and find a place to park on the side.
Seeing a medium-sized building materials supermarket not far away, Dong Qiangqiang drove straight over.
There were so many cars in the parking lot that Dong Qiangqiang walked around for a long time before he found a parking space.
As he turned the steering wheel, he looked back at the distance between his car and the car behind him. Just as he was about to park the car between the two sports cars, he suddenly saw a familiar shadow in the left rearview mirror.
Artest, a man with earrings, walked into the supermarket hand in hand with a girl.
This surprise was no small matter, and Dong Qiangqiang immediately stepped on the brakes.
Based on the distance between the cars, Hoffman judged that Dong Qiangqiang's car could be parked and driven out without any problems. He was about to tick the form when Dong Qiangqiang suddenly braked. Due to his heavy weight, he swayed forward slightly and then immediately faced the back seat. Fall away.
"Why did you hit the brakes?" Hoffman asked confused.
Hearing the other party's question, Dong Qiangqiang immediately realized the possible consequences of his move and hurriedly defended: "I'm sorry, I..."
At this moment, a skinny wild cat suddenly flashed past the front of the car and disappeared under the car next to it.
Since side parking does not have to be completed within a time limit, and traffic regulations do not require that the brakes are not applied when parking, there is nothing illegal or inappropriate about Dong Qiangqiang's approach. In addition, seeing the wild cat, Hoffman mistakenly thought that Dong Qiangqiang was trying to avoid The car did this deliberately when it hit a small animal, so all he could say was: "Slow down next time."
Dong Qiangqiang breathed a sigh of relief, parked the car quickly, and drove out after receiving Hoffman's approval. "Then what?" he asked.
Hoffman ticked several columns on a form, nodded happily and said, "You can drive back to the driving school now."
The subtext of this sentence is equivalent to saying that Dong Qiangqiang has basically passed the exam.
But Dong Qiangqiang was hung up on the way back to the driving school last time, and he didn't want to make the same mistake again this time. He was very alert, alert to the road conditions around him, and drove towards the driving school with all his concentration.
Looking at the building materials supermarket gradually disappearing in the rearview mirror of the car, Dong Qiangqiang took a deep breath. It seemed that he would have to wander to this place more after the preparatory exam was over.
On the way back, Dong Qiangqiang was extremely careful, but he didn't expect that the light was green all the way and he returned to the starting point so smoothly that even he found it incredible.
When Dong Qiangqiang took the certificate of passing the road test from Hoffman, he was not excited at all. Maybe it was because he was under too much pressure before. He only felt that his mind went blank, so that he did not listen carefully to what was behind Hoffman. What to say to him.
After seeing off Hoffman, Karina congratulated: "Mr. Dong, you performed very well today. Congratulations on getting your driver's license."
"Thank you, thank you." Dong Qiangqiang finally calmed down.
"The road test certificate in your hand is valid for three months. With this certificate, you can drive now. Your driver's license will be sent to your home in about one month, please pay attention to check it." Karina extended her enthusiasm. He took action and said, "Mr. Dong, I hope you can always abide by traffic regulations when driving in the future and be an excellent driver. Of course, if there is someone next to you who also wants to learn to drive..."
"Then I will let them all come to you, I promise." Dong Qiangqiang said sincerely, "Because you are an excellent coach, Ms. Karina."
Karina smiled faintly, turned around and entered the driving school.
Dong Qiangqiang looked up at the sky above his head. The sky was still so blue, and the sunshine was warm but not blazing.
Only then did he feel a long-lost sense of relief. He couldn't wait to call his friends and share with them his joy after completing the level.
While he was on the phone, he was thinking, should he buy a second-hand car next?
