Yayyy I just passed my driving theory test! happy dance I got 33 out of 35 for the test (pass is 30), and 65 out of 75 (pass is 44) for hazard perception continues party from exam results lolAnd now a question.. what happens in US to get a driving licence? We have to have a qualified driving instructor, take a theory test (on road signs, stopping distances, road users etc) and then take a practical test for about 40 minutes.

lol you bugger... :grin: I'm really excited this month! Should be doing my test in about 6 weeks-ish, depending on how long the waiting list it :grin: happy dance!
sdp - the processes are pretty similar, sounds better than the UK method though! Do they test you on manouvres and things or just general driving? :grin: -
In america passing a driving test is VERY simple, the lovely folks in drivers ED in your local high school give you plenty of opetunitys to cheat and other such evils. But of course thats because whoever decided to let you take drivers ED with a bunch of people you know in a classroom with a teacher playing solatair is an idiot. Otherwise driving in america you take an EASY test, then you take your road test that you dont get failed on for stupid shit. I mean is it really neccisary to fail somone because somone else does somthing illegal and they dont react fast enough? That happened to my friend 2 times and he got failed because of somone else :/, twats.Driving in Britan is more like a money maker for other people than to test if your capable of driving. Driving here makes me really angry, they milk people who drive for all the money they can, did you know only about 3% of that money the government take from moterists goes back into the roads and other driving related things? I cant bring myself to take my test because I dont want all the agrovation, here is a question off the AMAZING british theory test:What 3 vehicles use green flashing lights?1 Ambilence2 Doctor on call3 Chemical clean up team4 Road maintinence vehicle5 Coast guardAnswer: Doctor on call, Chemical clean up team, Coast guard.When the FUCK am I gunna be driving in the ocean and get pulled over by the coast guard? Woah slow down there Mr in your aquatic car, you must obay all coastl speed limits!I mean why arent they asking important stuff? They have 30 questions and theyre gunna waste one of them with a toss off like that?Anyway sorry learning to drive here makes me angry ^^. Let me use my american lisence here mr blair!!! Damn wanker! Oh and goodluck with your test, remember to be confident when youre in the car and and also when talking to the instructor, aparently its one of the thinks they look for and are more likely to pass you if you look confident at whe wheel. If you need a little confidence I suggest a shot or 2 of vodka before you take off, lol JK dont do that XD. Though personaly I think they should be looking more at peoples driving than their personality and how confident they are :/.

Do they test you on manouvres and things or just general driving?Other than backing up along a curb in a straight line, no. They usually take you out into a business and residentioal area. No highways.

LoL possum I love your posts. They make me laugh! That was a brilliant observation, and I have to admit.. yeah there was a "green light" question in my theory test. sdp - we have to be tested on reversing around a corner, 3 point turn, paralell parking, reverse parking ... blah blah the list goes on and on..and on..... and on...............!!!

Other than backing up along a curb in a straight line, no. They usually take you out into a business and residentioal area. No highways. They must be tougher in Florida. I drove out of the lot at the driving test place and almost made a turn the wrong way onto a one way street. I thought I was done....but the rest of the test went well, and my parallel parking was perfect....so I think I just made it.I've had licenses in Florida, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New Hampshire again, Massachusetts again, New Hampshire yet again, then Florida again. I never had to take any kind of test (except for vision) to renew or change states. I could go on like this until I'm 100 years old. Is that a good idea?
