The Hetalia nations take their driving tests.

Find out what happens when the Hetalia Nations take on their driving tests under the command of Switzerland, they fail their written test and they have to take a driven test again a bit later, but will it all end well?

I came up with this after watching "Moments with Heavy - Heavy Takes his Driving Test" by the late kitty0706 who sadly passed away early this year,

so this is a sorta Hetalia themed tribute I guess...

It was no normal day at the Driving Test Centre, or the DTC facility, as the Hetalia nations were taking their driving tests under the command of Switzerland, but they were taking their written driving theory exam. Basch had to go on a course to learn to be a driving instructor for this test, and also had to take on the gruelling exam himself. He cast his eyes over the room, as America, England, France, Prussia, Germany, Italy, Russia, Japan, Canada, China, Spain and Austria were preparing to do their written test.

Italy was somewhat anxious without his brother, Romano. "Hey..hey he...Switzerland!" he gasped to Basch who turned onto him with an unimpressed eyes. "Vhat is it Feliciano? You do know zhat ve all must be quiet during zhe exam!" he grumbled. "Where is Romano, I want to do my test with him..." gasped Feliciano. "He has already taken his test..." replied Basch grumpily "He did it before you, now, silence!"

Germany was not to impressed either. "Italy, you dummkopf..." he grunted to himself as he sat down after returning from the toilet, thus letting America go and use the toilet before the exam started. Ludwig sat down. "Now ve have to vait until Alfred gets back from zhe bathroom" said Basch. Ludwig had a look at his sheet, and then he saw something. Prussia had played a prank on him while Ludwig was at the toilet. He had written 'Du Bist Fett' on his paper, that had been translated into German, by Basch and his knowledge of English, German, French and Italian. He had to use a translation machine for the other languages.

Ludwig glared at Gilbert. "Vhy zhe hell did you write 'Du Bist Fett' on my verksheet?!" he growled. Gilbert just laughed. "JA, DU BIST FETT!! ZHAT IS YOU! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" and then he whispered "Deine Mutter ist auch fett!"Then Gilbert burst out into hysterical laugher. Ludwig stared crossly at Gilbert.

Basch tried to sort the situation out. "Gilbert! Vill you please stop zhat, SOFORT!" he said sternly to Gilbert who was too busy laughing his arse off to even care. "STOP!" yelled Basch and Ludwig, and with that Gilbert got back on his chair. Basch walked over to have a look at what Gilbert had written on Ludwig's sheet. "'Du Bist Fett'? Please refrain from writing zhings like zhat on people's verksheets, I am varning you Gilbert!" said Basch sternly to Gilbert who then subsided at the threat.

Then Alfred returned from the toilet. "Ahhh...much better" he sighed in satisfaction. "Hey guys, I'm back!" and then he sat down in his designated seat, near to where England was. Arthur turned his eye to Alfred. "I'm trusting you not to look at my sheet and cheat..." said Arthur to Alfred. "Why do I need to?" replied Alfred "Because the rules of the road are different to yours Iggy, like, we drive on the right..." "Okay okay okay Zhat is enough!" said Basch sternly. "Ve shall begin our test in a minute, so I vill like you to get your pens at zhe ready"

They all responded to the command and got their writing tools ready, but not without some banter between each other. "Hehehehehe" sniggered Gilbert "I vill be zhe most awesome driver on zhe whole Road...I am too awesome to stop at traffic lights, zhey can get out of my vay!" Austria turned to Gilbert. "No, you vill obey all of zhe rules of zhe road...zhat is vhat zhey are zhere for" he replied sternly. Meanwhile, France was on to England. "Ho, I don't need to look at your work..." he said cheekily to Arthur "I have my own rules, and my sheets translated into my language, and I will drive better zan you" Arthur stared at Francis "Don't even think about..." he spluttered. "DON'T TALK TO ME IN SUCH A PATRONIZING WAY!" "I am better for driving on ze right hand of ze road" replied Francis "I do zat because of Napoleon, because he was left handed, and everyone follows suite wiz me. Thought you'd like to know..."

Arthur was having none of it. "STOP LAUGHING AT ME BECAUSE I DRIVE ON THE LEFT!" he yelled. Japan also got involved. "Well you folks know I drive on the left as well" he said "So don't laugh at me either" Basch wanted to end the banter and get on with the test. "SILENCE PLEASE!" he yelled firmly. Everyone stopped at that. "Do not make fun of Arthur or Kiku because they drive on the left" he said "Now vill all of you sit down" They did it at once. Spain gave out a chuckle as he sat down. He thought the banter was fun.

Russia had a question. "Excuse me Switzerland" he asked to Basch "How did you learn about international rules of the road and translations?" Basch replied "I vent on a course to learn about it all, and zhe localized rules of zhe road for each of you, and I also used zhe translator machine for your sheet Ivan, as vell as China, Japan, Spain, so I am sorry if zhe translation is not accurate for zhose vho I mentioned" Everyone was now ready for the test. "Now vill all of you be quiet" said Basch "Zhere is to be no talking during zhis exam, and no cheating, but zhe language barriers vill help prevent cheating, as vell as zhe rules of zhe road...okay, zhe exam starts now" Then the room fell into silence as the Hetalia nations got to work on their theory exams.

As soon as the silence fell, the exam was in full swing, but Prussia while doing the exam was daydreaming of himself being the driver of a Porsche speeding down the autobahn at very high speed. "I vill be zhe most awesome driver ever" he said to himself "No one can stop me" He had a look at a question that in German said "What do you do when there is a pedestrian on the road" Gilbert took a moment to think. "Hmm...ah screw zhe pedestrians! Zhey can get out of mein vay! Step aside, make vay für Gilbert!" With that he circled the answer that translated to "Run all pedestrians over "All zhe pedestrians are Dummkopfs" giggled Prussia to himself.

Canada however was looking at his sheet, he had hit a question that seemed somewhat obscure. "What is that doing there?" he wondered to himself. The question read "What must you do when there is a truck reversing in front of you" Matthew thought. "Erm...trucks reversing? Er...I...i..i.i.i..i.i.i.i.i..i.i. ...cannot wait all day for trucks reversing!" he gasped to himself and the quickly circled the answer "Jump over the truck and carry on without consideration" Matthew felt pleased with himself "Stupid Trucks" he said to himself.

Francis on the other hand was at the question about the Pedestrians. He had a look. "Hon...euh..." he said to himself "Zis could be a good one...euh..." He stopped a minute to think. "Moi..." he thought "I will always let ze Madames past, always let ze madames past, but les hommes, zey can wait, or get run over...hon hon hon hon hon, unless it's ze Baguette man at ze bakery!" Francis chuckled as he filled in the question about the pedestrians. Basch heard his giggles. "Silence please Francis!" he said quickly. "Vhat are zhey finding so funny?" he muttered to himself.

Germany was at another question, but then he saw Gilbert trying to peer over to his shoulder. He then pushed Gilbert back. "Nein!" he said firmly to Gilbert who just caught the eye of the question about the Pedestrians. Ludwig had circled the answer about running over the pedestrians, as he thought he was too important to wait for stupid pedestrians. "Heheheheheheh" sniggered Gilbert "Zhe Pedestrians vill surely get crushed by your fat slab of bodyveight! Heheheheh!" Ludwig slapped Gilbert on the head. "Silence!" he snapped firmly and then got back to work. "And stop saying I am fat!" Gilbert retorted "Or zhey can get squashed by your big fat arse!" Ludwig got annoyed. "STOP ZHAT NOW, OR YOU'LL BE DISQUALIFIED!" snapped Basch firmly. "SILENCE!"

Ludwig subsided and then got back to the next question. It translated to "What must you do when there is an emergency vehicle passing by, e.g. Fire Engine, Ambulance, Police Car" Ludwig had a think. Normally, you would pull over when an emergency vehicle was passing. But Ludwig had other ideas. "Ah...screw zhat" he muttered to himself quietly "I am more important zhan zhey are!" And he circled the "Carry on driving" answer. Austria also thought that he was too important for stopping for pedestrians and letting emergency vehicles pass by, so he filled the somewhat same answer in.

Spain had reached another question to do with pedestrians. It roughly translated to "What must you do when there is elderly people crossing" Antonio stopped for a minute. "Eh wait...what are elderly people?" he asked himself. "Does that mean to say old grannies and such?" He tapped his fingers to a flamenco beat while he thought about it. "Eh...urm...well...they'll die soon, so it does not matter if they get run over..." he said to himself and circled the answer that translated to "Carry on driving and run them over"

Switzerland then got up. "Okay listen up" he said "I need to go and get some files zhat are related to zhe test, I am going to have to leave you here, but I trust you not to cause a commotion, and I specifically mean you, Prussia!" Gilbert stared at Basch with a sheepish look. "Ja..." he uttered. "Okay, so I vill be off, I expect you to carry on vorking, I vill be back" "Yes" replied the other nations as Basch left the room.

Author's notes:

RIP Kitty0706

England and Japan are the only ones who drive on the left side of the road, the others drive on the right.

Switzerland can speak German, French, Italian as well as English, so he wrote the exam for most of the countries, but for Russia, Spain, Japan and China, he used the translator machine.

Napoleon is reputed to have been left handed, and for that reason, he led his Soldiers on the right, and many of the countries he invaded now drive on the right,
