Congrats, manual or auto?

Re: How was your school day?

Thanks. Auto. Instructor only had auto.

And if you were wondering why I didn't go with another one, its because I know the person and I get a 50% discount. (Yes, I'm that cheap).

Re: How was your school day?

Meh, it saves me money. Money which I could spend on a good car.

Want to change to manual when I'm full license. You got your P's?

Re: How was your school day?

Manuals are fucking overrated. Autos get me from from Point A to Point B, I'm perfectly content.

edit lol

Re: How was your school day?

Nah I don't have my P's, don't turn 17 until January.

And as if manuals are overrated, so much fun to drive a powerful manual, nothing like it... i love being in full control.

What kind of car did you learn in / want to buy Blackhawker?

Re: How was your school day?

I learnt in a Kia Cerato I think.

Don't know what to buy yet.

autos do make you lazy,

just get a manual when you get onto your GREEN p's

thats what I did..

my parents didn't have manual to learn on and the first car I got was auto..

but once I moved to manual as soon as I got my greens its so much better..

Re: How was your school day?

And I reiterate: I drive to get places. Not to prove to others how good I am with a stick in an attempt to make myself feel bigger/better than I actually am.

I have no motivation or inclination to try a manual.

Re: How was your school day?

along with the OP, I PASSED TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

to anyone going for the new red's test: dont worry. the actual driving isnt hard, they just mark harder. just be observant and remember your 3 sec gap..and you should be fine!

Re: How was your school day?

how long was the test

Re: How was your school day?

i did the new test, so it was 30-40 mins. the actual driving part's not that hard, but they mark heaps harder

I didn't live this down too with the rest of my Yr 12 mates: Took me a grand total of four times to get them.

I have the feeling that the first three times I did it (a really snobby and stuck up) lady was marking me a little too hard, looking for any excuse to fail me.

I was failed instantly (second go I think) because I failed to stop correctly at a stop line. Apparently you can't be so many metres behind it... The line that I stopped at (used to be a Give Way apparently) wasn't even painted over, and conveniently outside that 'allowable gap'. The actual stop line looked ridiculously out of place. The cross-road was a highway, and I didn't dare inch closer; god-damn trucks flying by.

Got some cool guy on the fourth go (who temporarily forgot 'the course' around town :rofl and I made several slight mistakes but he passed me.

Yes I'm a good driver. My car makes me look like I'm a bad driver, as per no power steering and it's older than I.

Why didnt you just go somewhere else to get your Ps?
Why did you have to go to the same RTA over and over again?
So........ how many metres behind a stop sign did you stop? 3m or something?
I mean.. you're supposed to be able to see the oncoming traffic..
Jebus.. what else did you get failed for??

i did the new test, so it was 30-40 mins. the actual driving part's not that hard, but they mark heaps harder

How did you know they marked heaps harder than the old version?
Did you do both?

 

[alby]

the tester told me. walking back to the rta after the test i said "and i thought that was going to be hard", he said "the test isnt harder, but i have to mark harder"
