I will never be able to finish the theoretical exam... Honestly I am not the person to say that it is everybody elses fault or that the questions are unreasonable - because the questions are made to be bait and to make you think hard about them. It is just that I am EXTREMELY stupid and low-key if the doctor were to say that I have early onset dementia from too much doomscrolling I would not be surprised.
Like, I can drive properly. I know priorities and how to drive safely. But do not ask me what a fucking Antriebs-Schlupf-Regelung does or how much the cargo of my trailer is allowed to stick out, when the distance I am driving is less than 100km <//3. Okay tbh I do know the answers to these questions, but it's only because I took screenshots of them to remember. But I cannot take a screenshot of all 1168 of them ദ്ദി ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ )
But sometimes the questions feel like those children's games of pretend where you shoot a fireball at somebody but then they shout: "well actually I just turned into a mermaid and I am gonna make a force field of water around me so your fire is useless". Because the question will be some shit like "you can never pass somebody on the rigt side" well, what about the tram? "yea you can pass them on the right, and also on the left, but only if the tracks are too far to the right" then I'm just thinking what the fuck is too much to the right ?? I guess it's if there is not enough space for your car on the right?? This is way too general for me.
Then they have questions that are way too specific but unspecific at the same time. Like the width of your car can only be 2,55m. But that does not include your mirrors, and the size of your mirrors is not written in the handbook. But if you pass a sign that says "no cars wider than 2,55m" then the mirrors do count in those 2,55m. There are too many hyper specific questions that I cannot memorize.
This problem goes farther than just driving. I cannot remember anybody's birthday or last names or sometimes even first names. I do not know anybody else's birthday other than my own. I do not know where anybody lives and I do not remember my school's log-in info and I am too scared to ask the IT teachers to reset it for me because one is too scary and the other sinks like BO and stale coffee 𓇢𓆸. This is the reason why my worst grade is in history. you can tell me world war 2 ended in 1931 and that Germany war reunified in 1971 and I would believe you :-(
But then It is not just my memory that is failing me it's my illiteracy. The choices for my question would be "slow down" "drive faster" "go to the right" and I would look at the third option and think, no way, I'm not allowed to drive into the grass on the right. Then at the end of the simulation I will realize that they ment to the right side of the lane (ᵕ•_•). Maybe I don't actually deserve to get a liscence atp.
Sometimes I think about breaking off the liscence and only using public transportation for the rest of my life. But then I'd be worse than any other dumbass on the street. And honestly it would be perpetuating the idea that women are stupid and can't drive, so kinda anti-feminist of me. And if my cousin took 3 years to finish his theoretical exam. Maybe I can too ( •̯́ ₃ •̯̀)
So, for anybody who is struggling with their driver's liscence: don't give up. There are other's struggling just as much as you are. and thank you for reading through my embarrassing complaints.

Thank you for your story! I gave up getting drivers license in my country couple years ago because the system is too corrupt they literally won’t let people pass driving exam without paying them. I don’t know anyone who passed it without it. I’ve decided that I don’t want to feed the system I know the rules I finished driver school and I can drive and I will not pay this motherfukers to pass the exam
Do you mean like bribery, where you have to give the driving examiner extra money than initially negotiated?? That's awful, I hope the situation in your country gets better
