I had my first driving test today and the Lowlife son of a bitch examiner failed me for "hesitating at a pedestrian crossing" when the lights were flashing orange apparantly that is a "serious mistake". I didn't make any other mistakes in the whole fucking test.

Driving Tests in the UK cost £56 which is like $112

Got me soo fucking pissed off but atleast i had one of my best shoulder/trap workouts in a while afterwards at the gym lol.

I passed second time round. In Belfast NI the first time pass rate is something stupid around 10%

Everybody passes in the States on the first try. One reason we have such lousy drivers.

2x

Seriously. There needs to be reaction time and IQ tests. In some states, the multiple choice part of the test is open book.

But ya know, the libs would scream unfair! if every slobbering idiot wasn't allowed to drive.

First time. 3 U.K. minors.

dr.chimps · « **Reply #10 on:** January 28, 2009, 10:44:08 AM »

1st time. But, if we're being honest here, it was probably another 9-12 months later that I really had the 'skills' to be driving on a regular basis.

/standard ftw!

Dreadlifter · « **Reply #13 on:** January 28, 2009, 11:50:55 AM »

1st time with 3 minors on a torrentially rainy Scottish morning. Sweated more than during a leg workout. Thought i'd failed about 10 minutes in, relaxed me a lot.

No, the reason we have such lousy drivers is because people don't continue to learn once they pass their test. They are in a hurry, and don't thoroughly know what the rules of the road are.
One time, I'm in my 18 wheeler on the freeway, driving the speed limit in the slow lane. About 20yds before the exit, a lady in a CR-V cuts from the fast lane (four lanes over) and takes the exit. I nearly missed her, could've jack knived my rig and taken out I don't know how many other people with me just because she couldn't be bothered to take the next exit. As I pass her wiping the sweat off my brow from the sudden adrenalin surge, I honk my air horn as if to say "You know you were wrong..." and the bitch turns around and flips me off!!!
People drive horrible here.

it took me twice actually, i came home and my broskies were ready to take to the streets and smash some vagina but it would have to wait another 30 days... it was embarrassing, the dud told me to k-turn but i didn't parallel park yet ..whatever.. so i asked what he wanted me to do, he said just drive back. I knew he was bout to fail me .

Main difference is that EVERYBODY learns/drives a MANUAL in the UK

In America from what i have seen, it's mainly automatics.

CalvinH · « **Reply #17 on:** January 28, 2009, 12:07:43 PM »

2nd time.I failed the first time because I thought you got points for hitting the illegals $:-\$

How does that affect the persons driving skills? I didn't realize that it was so hard to merge, say while you're stuck in freeway traffic and in first gear only, using a stick or it being any different than an automatic.

why drive a manual? -- all the gear shifting is painful, automatic is much more comfortable.

I can drive a stick far better than your tiny ass.
Double clutch, single clutch, fuck using any clutch at all. Give me any speed transmission from 3 to 18, and I'll run circles around you.
