Getting an Israeli driver's license (WAS: Re: I've failed my driving test!)

[abigailnus]

As a fellow Israeli, I thought Amanar would like to know that my 
magic number, driving test wise, is a big fat 5.  Failing your first 
test really isn't that big a deal around here - it's practically 
expected.  Having been a driver for nearly four years, I've come 
to the conclusion that getting your license is one of those Israeli 
rites of passage, like serving in the army.  It's rarely ever pleasant, 
seems like it's going to last forever, and then when it ends you 
can hardly remember what all the fuss was about.

So hang in there, Amanar, you'll get them next time.  Or the next.  
Or the one after that.
