Good luck and drive safe

Sioso · 05-12-2012, 10:20 AM

Remember to hand back the keys to the test car, I was so excited when I got mine I took off with them still in my pocket!

No mobile phones back then, so it took them hours to track me down.

Jack960 · 05-12-2012, 11:25 AM

Good luck mate, just pay attention to your speed.

markm7843 · 05-12-2012, 06:05 PM

How'd you go?

Robbielee1991 · 05-12-2012, 06:37 PM

Just got back home, with a pass on my licence

!

I ended up getting 1 critical error.. It was stupid on my behalf as he told me "On the 2nd street, turn right" LMAO! I ended up pulling into the cop station witch he thought was hilarious and was laughing all the way back to Victroads lol. It was at the very end of the test too lol.

Other then That, he said it was an almost perfect pass and he was happy about handing me my licence. Yay, thanks for the support AFF!

Congrats man, just don't do as other red's do and think they know all and think they are king of the road

flappist · 05-12-2012, 06:44 PM

Congratulations.

Just be aware that now is when you will start to actually learn to drive.

This is how it works:

Every morning every other person in the world has a meeting and one is selected to try and kill you. They may be in another vehicle or set a trap like gravel on the road or make it rain or let down one of your tyres or just ring you on your mobile while you are driving.

Your mission is to spot the trap and avoid it.

Have fun........

Thank you, sir. I will do the best I can and the most I have been doing these last 2 years I've been learning through mum and drive schools.

I couldn't get the keys out of the ignition. The assessor came back out to see if I was ok, as I hadn't come inside.
Finally my driving instructor came out and showed me how to do it.

Lol I hit a curb when Parallel parking and still passed

Feathers · 06-12-2012, 05:01 PM

I had to do my 3 point turn backing toward a storm water canal. The assessor grabbed for the handbrake just before I started to reverse, freaked me out, and I stalled it.

She failed me for that.

AndyXR6T · 31-12-2012, 04:33 PM

Well done mate. Hardest part isn't the test though... It's keeping the bloody thing now!

**MercurySilver** · 31-12-2012, 08:05 PM

things have certainly changed!

uniacidz · 01-01-2013, 03:13 AM

Congrats on the license

Congrats on the job

Congrats on the New Year

Jamie247 · 02-01-2013, 12:45 AM

when i went for my manual license i went in my xr8 ute which i drove out by myself in LOL then put p plate on the accessor came out and said which car i said that one he luaghed and said this will be interesting, while i drive round in 3rd gear through town he said whats the fuel bill like i said oh yeah not bad he said well if you put into 4th it would be better i said yeah it will have stauled due to not going fast enough with proper revs that'll save me and for that remark he said ok lets do a reverse park in the centre of town in small crappy parks which i nailed then he said ok go up here do a 3 point turn that was hard it was a 5 point turn we went back to the transport centre and he said well for your driving you passed for you attitude towards instructors you failed misserably, i thought that was very precise judgement LOL the moral of the story when going for ya license be courtious to the instructor, drive round in 4th everywhere, no laughing at anytime bloody clipboard baygest combovers take the fun out of everything

**hawkgirl** · 02-01-2013, 10:19 AM

Congrats on passing & the job

my partner on his test had a bus come through a give way sign on him. He braked hard (as you would) and was instantly failed by his instructor.

I wanted to know what they wanted him to do exactly? Hit it? Get a free ride in an ambulance? Perhaps a posthumous pass on his licence? And I believe that tool is still a tester at richmond nsw.

capesy · 02-01-2013, 10:30 AM

congrats on passing man.

the driver instructor i have told me to do 4 things at once one lesson then he didn't like it because i didn't brake enough for the changing speed limit

Russ · 02-01-2013, 10:38 AM

I don't think I was the only cause and this is the honest truth, my driving instructor died of a heart attack not long after my last lesson and driving test R.I.P. I passed first go by the way and back then many of the instructors vehicles (including his) were fitted with passenger steering controls as well as a set of pedals

Congrats on getting your licence too, drive safely

falconnut · 02-01-2013, 11:14 AM

yeah i remember when i got my p's back in 09.

I was so nervous the driving instructor thought i was going to pass out.

Almost a perfect pass, he went easy on me because i was so nervous haha.

Always a good sign if you get it first go op.

Good luck on your greens and fulls as well they easy as mate.

78xcgxl · 02-01-2013, 01:21 PM

Just a quick question as i'm currently on Ls and will be taking the test next year when i'm old enough. Are you allowed to use your own car for the driving test?

I used my car to get my license i don't think it really matters if you do or it might depend on some states what there rules are i think you'd be right though and good luck with it all
