What was your experience with getting your driver's license?

These are the kind of little ironies that put a smile on my face

It's seems my dear Suki you aren't able to notice the true awesomeness of my avatar.

Errr dude, I did, but now your comment's made me take a closer look and now I can't help but see the little yellow guy giving himself a blow job everytime I look at it. Thanks a lot for that.

Now you see my dear fellow JF members what does unhealthy time spending on watching gay porn does to peoples minds, poor Suki, gets the craziest thoughts by simply looking at my avatar.

I'm currently in the process. Gotta admit that getting a driver's license is FAR more difficult than I'd expected. My parents (who both hold about 30 years of experience with driving) obviously make it look so damn easy.. But yeah.. I'm trying. Driver's ED (and the test) was no biggie, really. But ACTUALLY driving is.. stressful : ( bleh.. I intend on getting that damn license tho!

That's what they look like:


So if you're driving and you come across this sign you slow down to the allowed speed. No photo. No ticket. No losing your license.

I wish it was like that, back in Canada they looked like cops holding hairdryers hiding in very difficult to see places or around blind corners... laughing... and counting their money

In Australia the police and even private contractors set up speed cameras all over the place, especially in areas where people are likely to get a little over the speed limit. There is no signage or any sort of warning that they may be in the area. They are quite skilled at remaining concealed until it's too late to slow down.

I had no problem with my test, actually, but I did have to take the written portion twice. I've never been too good when it comes to numbers, and the questions that I messed up on were pretty much ones involving distance and numbers. I have the tendency of mixing them up.

As for the driving test, that was easy and I passed that on the first try. I'm more of a practical learner, I suppose, as it's easier for me to show I know something by doing it, as opposed to taking a test on it.

The only things I still have trouble with is backing into a parking space and parallel parking, but growing up in Richmond, parallel parking wasn't even necessary to learn. It also wasn't a requirement to pass the driving test, unlike my father who grew up in New York, and parallel parking was apart of their driving test because there are many places there where one has to parallel park. Backing up into a space either, just as long as you can park properly with whatever you feel comfortable with. I prefer pulling into a space as opposed to backing in. I just feel more comfortable that way.
