The driving test

Today I took my UN driving test along with several others. This is mandatory if you are going to drive a UN vehicle. Normally you drive a 4x4. You would expect to get some extra training using these larger than average cars. Well you don't. The test itself is pretty simple. Actually it's so easy that anyone without any previous driving experience whatsoever should be able to pass. Guess what.... some don't:)

An Indian paratroop engineer almost made us ellegable for the Purple Heart. He was however a model soldier and instantly carried out the instructors orders. Undoubtetly in the assumption that all the other vehicles were also aware of said orders. He maneged to not once check his six, sides or miorrors before changing lanes. The "pièce de resistance" was the U-turn on a 6 lane street. Again the instructors instructions were performed without hesitation. In no time we did a 180 causing the cars from the opposite direction to slam their brakes and come to a screeching halt. Our heartbeats racing up to 200+ and all this without the slightest change of composure in our Indian friend.
