MRL Takes The NC Driver’s Test (AUDIO)
We weren’t lying when we said driving was the theme of today’s show.
LauRen opening admits she is not a great driver. Roy & Maney on the other hand…think they are God’s gift to NC roads! We decide to put that to the test and see if they’re book smart or just street smart. Producer Nicole got together eight questions from the NC Driver’s Test and tested the crew. Let’s just say…nobody got above 65%.
