    驾照

    第一次想去考驾照已经是半年多前了。拿着中国驾照去New Jersey授权的翻译机构交了100刀,冲到8mile外的考试中心却被态度极其恶劣的员工告知无法prove my address(房租/水电帐单都是LG的名字,不认可我打印的银行账单,说不是original copy,这年头谁还用hard copy的bank statement?)。悻悻而归,想着反正LG考了驾照了,我们也没车,难得开车的话拿着中国驾照也能混混;再加上我拿到了工作许可证,要驾照当Photo ID也没意义了,也就彻底断了考驾照的念头了。
     
    事情从6月份开始有了转机。。。先是优优去了day care,天气越来越热,每天坐light rail接送多有不便;然后机缘巧合找到个邻居和我们对车有相同的需求,孩子又在同一个幼儿园;再然后就是一个朋友要回国,正好要卖车。于是,合计着买了个SUV当优优的坐驾了。这样每天都要我开车了,看着我的中国驾照8月份就要到期,考US驾照的事情不得不又提上了议事日程。
     
    翻出半年前看过的Driver's Manual,花了二个礼拜研读那些七七八八的regulation,在一个风和日丽的周二,开车去了Bayonne的DMV。和上次不同,这次的老太和颜悦色地拒绝了我的考试请求,那态度让我根本没有argue的念头了。原来我还是个寄生虫,L2的visa不能让我qualify for the permit,无奈周六一早拖着LG杀回Bayonne,没想到这次是吵架去了。什么都有了,那个无理的女人在我的资料通过前三道检查后以我和LG无法prove relationship为由拒绝给我permit,在我们challenge为什么周二来的时候说好只要L1 visa holder陪同就没有任何其他问题时,她推卸责任说她那天休假不知道情况。我们找supervisor complain说我们都来了三次了,每次都要求不一样的document,她竟然毫不客气地反驳说,来这里考试的人都要跑五六次的。天哪,这是理由嘛,what are you doing for your job?
     
    没啥好争的,过个礼拜换到North Bergen的DMV试运气。排了一个多小时的队后,办事人员看了我的材料,根本连L1 Visa Holder都不问,直接发了permit。看来It's the problem of people not the regulation itself! 花了15分钟通过了50道题的written test,递上翻译的驾照,原来这100刀的翻译件只是让我缩短驾驶学习期,允许我20天后路考,“We don't accept the license from mainland China...”
     
    还真是麻烦。
