Re: Driver's Licences (was: Quotas(little or no Audi Content))

With my driving test, I just had to pull out of the parking lot, go
around the block and through some red lights, and then back into the
parking lot.  No parallel parking or anything.  Kind of stinks though
considering there are a lot of places here in Atlanta in which you have
to parallel park.
