US driver test system exposes sick Irish joke

I AM living in New Orleans where my daughter, who is 15, attends drivers’ education school. She has had 30 hours’ schooling. After her 16th birthday, she will sit her driving test and will probably pass it.

Should she not pass it, she will go back next day and every day until such time as she does.

In contrast I have a son aged 22 who has just received his MBA. He is working and has been driving his car in Ireland since he was 18.
