So this actually happened the last time I took a school exam. It was scheduled for 8 in the morning, so naturally, I had to get up at 6. It was still dark outside when I got out of my apartment. The test was going to take place at school, which is only 20 minutes from my home. If I recall correctly, the hours had gone according to the reverse side of the plan, and that situation took me downtown during the morning rush. After riding for about 5 minutes, my bike started to make weird noises, then the whole engine began shaking wildly. I hardly shut off the engine before getting off the bike to examine it. But I was no mechanic, and as I suspected, the engine wouldn't start again. So I had to drag it along the street looking for a repair shop. Luckily, it didn't take me long to find one, and the repairman only needed 10 minutes to fix my bike. It wasn't a happy experience, but at least I was not late for the test.
