Ontario has a graduated licensing system. To drive a regular vehicle you have a written exam, 10-12 months later you can do the first driving exam, and a year after that you do the freeway exam. They let you book an appointment online or by phone through an amazing automated system, I live in an area with a relatively small population density but you'll typically wait less than an hour in line when it's really busy. The staff are friendly and caring and it's actually an unusually calming environment. But there's no signage telling you where to stand, so if you're about to do your freeway exam and stand in the line that everyone else stands in instead of going directly to the unmarked window with no line, you end up missing your exam and having to reschedule and pay the fee again. This should be posted under Idiocy because I've done this twice already [once for the first road test], but the root issue here is not my idiocy, how was I supposed to know where to stand if there isn't a clear legible sign with large black lettering, arrows, and pictures telling me.
