Congrats!

I just passed for my drivings license this week! Woohooo :D :P
I can pick it up next week and then I may drive!

Theory is easy, I rode the book a few times, did the test and passed.
Driving itself can be quite hard actually, especially if you have to do it in a big city for 40 minutes long. One mistake, and YOU FAILED!
I passed on the 3rd time (which is quite normal over here, it IS just that now with the new rules...)
Till the day I'm dieing, I'll keep them spuddies flying, 'cause I can!

I recently got my license too, the written test to get my learner's permit was really easy, and the driving test to get my license was even easier, I think the whole thing was a joke. :lol:

I got mine too, the theory I learnt on the way in the car and the practical I just turned up after a few hours of practice. Wasn't too bad. I'm just dreading getting my full licence, where I have no restrictions.

There's a 10 hour theory (shortens the waiting time by 6 months) and the test is an hour long. I just suck under pressure. :P

Remember, the younger the pedestrians, the more points you get! Old people are close to death anyway so they rarely score above a 5.

A family on bicycles though will get you 50 points easily :D

The theory was pretty easy in the end. Lol JSR ill remember that, lots of cyclists around here :twisted:

Hopefully Ill be able to book my test for the middle of the day so everyones at work and theres not much traffic, should make it easier considering all my lessons have been during rush hour.

Heh heh... we screamed out people's point values from the backseat whenever my friend's parents drove us to and from the airport(s) last week. You should take a trip to my campus, you might go on a point-scoring tangent.

Hmm, my scoring system adds multipliers for zimmer frames or mobility scooters as well as bikes. Of course, if you can really get in the zone, you can get a proper combo going and score 500 points in one go by finding a good old village fête, then powersliding through the tea and cake stand.

Mind you, having been hit by cars more than once before, I have to wonder if people really do try playing this game.
Fortunately, I'm tougher than the average chav mobile, and have come away mostly unscathed (if I can survive being stabbed in the chest, an aged hot hatch is child's play). The last laugh is mine, because they got points all right... on their licences. :D
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?

You can tell how awesome a cannon is by the pressure used.
