California driver's license

I had to get a California driver's license for two main reasons:

  • Owning a car for the last couple of months while driving it on my argentinean license was brought to my knowledge to be illegal. Luckily no cops stopped me during that time.
  • More important: pubs and clubs that require ID, most times won't accept the argentinean one I carry on my wallet, and I would have to carry my passport everywhere. Getting drunk with my only travel document and visa on my pocket is not a good idea.
The written part of the test is similar to Argentina. You read a couple of brain dumps and cheatsheets with a couple of hundreds questions you memorize an hour prior the test and you forget ten minutes later.

The behind the wheel part of the test is easy, but I had to take it twice because the first time I forgot to look over my shoulder when merging to a bike lane. Stupid bikes.

So finally I got the license on the email with this nice chart


I am now around 180lbs, for which I should be fine drinking up to two beers.
I would have to gain an extra 60 lbs to go for the third beer.
Challenge accepted.
