I drove with my permit until I was pulled over one day doing 90 in a 45 and had no license....name dropping got me off and back home, I went and took my license test the following week, easy peezy, instructor followed my bike through the streets of Orchard Park, had me do some basic turns and maneuvers and that was all.... At the end he say "you've been riding a while haven't you" lol, I chuckled and said yes, the only reason I'm here is that I was pulled over and got lucky, we chuckled and I was on my way.
