Story
ZM-Mu6uNAQo

Two siblings and one fiancee have plans for their respective futures.

Elisa and Santos
Elisa and Santos became each other's intended in April 2021. Because Santos' family is religious, it is going to take Elisa 2-3 years to become Mrs. Mendes. Sometime in 2022 or 2023, Elisa has to go through religious ceremonies to become a member of the religious community. Their wedding would be in 2025.

Alex
Alex has plans to be the next sibling to be betrothed after his elder sister. He is studying Special Education Assistance and hopes to have his driver's license next. During his last test, he almost had the test with 17 points and no critical errors. His mistakes included: Steering control (8), Wider turns (4), Limit Line (1), Correct Lane (1), Lane Position (2), and Speed (1).

Some of his mistakes can be understood. For wider turns (2), he had to make a wider turn on the first two right turns because of the fact that parked cars were too close to the corner of the intersection. For the limit line (1) point, he had to inch out because a row of parked cars near the DMV driveway made it harder for Alex to see oncoming traffic since one of the two routes at the DMV started with a right turn onto the street. For Speed (1), he unwillingly went over the speed limit in residential. In this case, he raised the speed to 28 in a 25 zone. If Alex knew the minimum speed (which is 9 points subtracted from the posted speed limit--i.e. if the speed limit on a commercial road is 40mph, then 31mph is the minimum speed for that road), then he'd be golden. For Lane Position (2), he explains that if it wasn't for making wider turns, then:
 * Commercial: Alex (unintentionally) made the examiner feel the "thump-thump" sound when merging into the center turn lane to make a left turn onto another street. Alex admits he lost focus because he was afraid that some jerk from behind would enter ahead of the opening and then speed up.
 * Residential: Near the end of the test, there was a stalled vehicle a few blocks from the DMV. Alex drove around it, taking Melissa's advice from the previous test.

Had all of these mistakes were avoided, Alex would've had his license with up to 11 points. But, that doesn't matter anyway. The only thing that matters right now was that this test in question was his "best" score. "Best" is defined as surviving the entire drive without any critical errors (Dangerous Maneuvers, Intervention, Speed, etc.). Alex hopes to beat his best score prior to completing his degree.
