YEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! just now about 20 mins ago!! The guy was and old bloke, and started talking to me about the weather. And then he asked what i wanted to do at uni, and i told him "software Eng" and he started having a go at me saying, "the computer revolution was 10 years ago you're too late now. Bricklayers get paid more money than you will!". so i thought what a dickhead, hes gonna be a bastard for the whole 45 mins. then, after a few left and right turns, i noticed we were heading back into the test center, where he told me i passsed! with 5 minors!!! i was like YEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! no more driving lessons... my own car.... ahhhhh.......... my independence... |

I did pass plus too. It was worth it, not just for the insurance, but it got rid of that, "Oh man, I'm in the car on my own"freaky feeling. Congratulations Grinning Cat! |

Oh yeah, he doesn't know what he's on about re: the computer revolution. You'll do fine. |

What's Pass Plus? How much does it cost to do? How difficult is it? How much does it reduce insurance by? |
||||||||

Thank you everyone!! Yes it's a great feeling, especially as only 2 days ago i was really depressed and thinking i will fail, as id hardly practiced due to exams. But i thought id keep my balls on and give it my best shot, and i passed, whehey!! Im also thinking of getting that 'pass plus' crap although the thought of even more lessons dosent really help! I'll have to see how much money it will get me off insurance first! im also slighly anxious about being on the road by myself, with no instructor to stop me if i'm getting in the wrong lane! but i think ill be ok. I'll drive ok as long as i don't put 'Go Plastic' on! Tasos: get a car before u forget how to drive! Princo: move to the UK and i'll be ur driver! Manicminer: goto www.passplus.org.uk cheers dudes! |

do they test you in parallel parking there? alot of the states here don't make you parallel park to pass anymore, i find that quite silly. you goto most major cities and knowledge of parallel parking is almost a necessity. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
go drive your car! |
||||||||
|

My sister failed hers today. |

beep-beep'm, beep-beep, yeah! |

They didn't test me, I can't parallel park in most situations. If I NEED to parallel park in a fairly tight space... well then I'll find a different parking spot farther away from my destination. Nobody knows I can't do this, I fear the day when I'm driving with someone and my secret is exposed. I failed my first driving test when I went through a yellow light at the very intersection right before I reached the government building and the end of my test, but I passed my second one despite almost scraping up against a bus. Huh. |
||||||||

|
|
lol! i was 12 when i learned how to do that. newb. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I know, eh, and it's that shame that keeps me from asking someone else for guidance. |

Pull up beside the car. One full turn of the steering wheel and reverse until you're at about 45º. Bring the wheel back to the middle and reverse until your wheel is about a foot from the curb. Then one full turn of the steering wheel in the other direction and reverse. I think its easy if you break it into three parts. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i usually cut the wheel all the way when turning back. but, eh, dif'rent strokes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what ya driving? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

you should try not to turn the steering wheel when the car isn't moving. it puts too much strain on the axel and can severely banjax it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well when you can do it you dont need to stop, but its just a way of learning that worked for me. I assume banjaxxing is a bad thing. |

|
|
