	Excuse me but if you don't have the money to pay for a drivers
test how can you pay for the insurance?  If you don't have a policy
how can you drive?  Isn't driving with out insurance a crime in Ohio?
Down here in Florida it is.  FHP pulls ya over and you don't have a
current POI  (Proof Of Insurance) card your  car is impounded.  This
also applies to those from out of state who're here more than 90 days
in a year:  SnowBirds Beware! :)
