As I sit in a Drive Test parking lot waiting for my newly turned 16-year-old daughter to complete her G1 test, a number of things cross my mind. Line-ups, line-ups and another line after that. With my older kids, as many of you have done, I was able to walk in with them, take a corner seat and patiently wait for their nerves to subside while taking these first steps to independence. Thanks to our new COVID-19 reality, all of that has changed. I waited outside with her as the office opened at 7 a.m. while the line behind us steadily grew. The staff member provided her with a number, pointed to the door, and off she went. Shortly thereafter, I received a text that said, ‘mum, I am so nervous in here, I can’t remember our postal code’.
