The DMV is the most soul killing place on Earth. Nothing but endless lines of people, bored workers, and bored customers. But to get your drivers permit, the DMV is a necessary evil; you have to go there to take and pass your written exam. Do you make a right turn on red? What do you do if the brakes lock up? Where are the blind spots on your car? Its a pretty straight forward exam, so long as you read over the rules of the road. And its pretty obvious that Taylor was singing instead of studying, because she failed the written exam three times. Yes, three. The fourth time she took it, the proctor took pity on her: I failed my permit test so many times that I ended up just bursting out crying the last time I went to the DMV, Swift said in an interview with Elle. They gave because they felt bad, and I only missed it by one question.
