RpgGamer Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Ya'll don't know how to drive until you can drive a stick. That's real driving, yo. :thumbsup: I learned how to do that a few days ago :P today I bought Halo: Reach. Then proceeded to play it for 11 hours straight.

Tim Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Thanks for my country and our formerly relaxed driver licensing system! It's great isn't it :thumbup: Except raising the driving age by one year still isn't going to do anything. It is if you've already got your licence. They gonna make the tests harder aren't they? I'm not too sure because it doesn't concern me cos I have my full :wink: Yeah, I'm sure I've read somewhere that they are making it harder to sit the restricted test. And possibly the full as well... But I'm not sure what they could do to make the full harder though. And I agree to the statement about driving manual as well. It's a shame my parents don't own a manual car :( At the moment, the full drivers test is a total joke. I did it a few weeks ago myself (passed 1st go) Its a multi question but there's alot of stupid trick questions from "survey studies" about "Studies have shown 1/10 blah blah". Seriously, im here to get my drivers licence to drive a damn turbo, not do freak'n research on how many morons lost their lives by being hooning gits. 2nd half is just a repeat of the Green P Plate test (provisional 2) Popoto.~<3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouchy Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 So Tim, is your full licence test done in 2 parts? How many tests do you have to sit before you gain your full licence? (No restrictions?) Here it's 3. You sit your learners, which is a theory, and with that you can only drive with an instructor between the hours of 5am-10pm. Restricted is first practical which is semi-easy, with that you can drive by yourself but only between 10-5. And then our full is harder than restricted and requires a lot more, but then you're free :thumbup: My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger_Warrior Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 today I bought Halo: Reach. Then proceeded to play it for 11 hours straight.You just gained 100 points in my estimations. Good man. Take a shower though. And paracetamol for the inevitable headache. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffwilson99 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Driving a manual isn't hard, I thought most people learnt to drive in one? I first learnt in an old Nissan Terrano, and my Mum's Corolla. The Corolla has a pretty good gearbox. Oh and Tim, what's the deal with driving a turbo car in Aussie? I can see why they'd want to restrict that, the really should restrict more powerful cars for people with their full licence. Is it only petrol turbo cars, or do turbo diesels count as well?

Star. Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I think in America they learn automatics. At least that's what I've heard and that's why it's such a big accomplishment to drive manuals :P Manuals is easy if you've learnt to drive it first, I hate clutch control though. My right foot has a mind of it's own and always goes heavy on the gas. Anyway, I'm finally an adult. Time to start acting like one methinks :P Got work 12-4 then my girlfriend is gonna whisk me away. But damn it, I'm 20. What the actual [bleep]. ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Was at HP7.2 - T'was good. You cant drive Turbo or Super Charged cars on your Learners, P1 and P2 UNLESS Its a Turbo Charged Diesel car, and you cannot drive a 8Cyl/V8 and above AT ALL Until your full licence. Learners - 120 Hours Driving with (I think) 20 Hours done during Night/Rain + hold licence for 1yr. Driving Instructors count as 2 hours per 1 hr. (unless the government scrapped it), test is multiple choice and you can do a practice online of the actual thing. Restricted to 6Cyl/V6 (+Turbo Diesel) and 80km/h Max Speed. 0 BAC. Provisional 1 (Red P) - Driving test in which you can only make 3 minor mistakes. hold licence for 1 year. Max Speed 90km/h. Same restriction for Car type, if Auto licence can only drive Auto. Only 1 Passenger allowed in the car between 11pm and 5am. 0 BAC. Provisional 2 (Green P) - Touch screen test involving safety hazards. Hold licence for 2 years. Max Speed 100km/h. Same Car type restriction, Auto licence from Red P now becomes manual. can have a legal full car load of passengers anytime. 0BAC.

At 16 in my state you could drive alone from 5 or 6 am till 11 pm at the speed limits. I don't think there are any car restriction either. Three months banishment to 9gag is something i would never wish upon anybody, not even my worst enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unkn0wnwarrior Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I think in America they learn automatics.I know in Canada, you CAN learn either one, but very few will pass their driving test in a manual, at least where I live. So yeah, most people learn in an automatic and then learn manual later, if at all. Also, Happy Birthday. I work today. Hopefully a short shift, but 2:20-10:20 at worst. I need about 4.5 hours to get 40 on the week, so let's go for that. Also, we're making Chocolate Peanut Butter Haagen Dazs today, so I might just need a snack.

Duff Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Woke up with a bit of a stomach ache from a party last night. Everyone else was still sleeping (I'm used to waking up at 6:00am every morning), so I called my sister to come pick me up. Now I'm home alone and feeling better and more comfortable now that I'm in my own room. It's an odd feeling, I tell ya. | My Tumblr | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
