So I just found out that my company doesn't allow holidays off, not even Christmas.
I don't remember ever agreeing to that.

I have been practicing for months, studied for the temps test, took an online course, and drove for hours in a car with a stranger(whos car I threw up in today) to prepare for it, and you passed it on the first day you drove? Thats impressive and maybe illegal.

In the states,, If you have a permit its not illegal.

My dad taught me how to drive in an empty shopping mall parking lot long before I was old enough to get a license

I took the written part of the test when I was like 16 then still never touched a car after I was hired for my city parks job two years back. My job started the next day and I had to be able to drive.

I told them I had practiced a lot before hand and they seemed to believe me.

Well then, while doing the test itself on an automatic helps immensly either you’re still a natural and should seriously consider driving for living or something, or the testing standards are *very* different from what they’re here. Majority of the people here don’t pass the driving test on first try, and that’s after a dozen or so hours of driving lessons, a few hours of theory lessons and passing the theory exam.

I also had the motivation that if I failed I’d be fired in the morning and they’d know I lied to them about already being able to drive.

The road test is much easier here, I was told by swedes who have done both.

I’d imagine the swedish one is pretty close to the finnish one so that makes sense. I had my first try in a snowstorm, that was ”fun”.
