Oleg: I failed!
Daria: What?! How could you have failed your driving test again?
Oleg: I got nervous and I did everything wrong.
Daria: Like what?
Oleg: When I accelerated, I ground my gears and raced the engine. The car jerked so hard that the examiner nearly fell off her seat.
Daria: Oh, that’s bad.
Oleg: Yeah, I know. I failed to stop at a traffic light and changed lanes in the intersection without signaling.
Daria: Yikes.
Oleg: The examiner told me to back off because I was tailgating the car in front of me. She also pointed out the speed limit because I had been speeding.
Daria: It couldn’t have gone much worse, could it?
Oleg: Oh yes, it could have and it did. When she warned me about my speed, I got so flustered that I slammed on the brakes and nearly caused an accident.
Daria: What did she say when that happened?
Oleg: She cried uncle and told me to take her back to the office as fast as humanly possible!
