RoadKill Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 you're lucky enough that basically everyone in America drives automatic cars. Lucky? It's a curse.
Colin Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Congratulations man. I know I've spoke to you on msn, but I had to add to this thread as driving kicks arse. Enjoy your new found freedom! :wink:
#1cubeplayer Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 How are automatics a curse? I still need to learn stick shift.
Rolf Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 On my small island, you get your 'Learners' when you turn 16 - you have that for three months - then you've got your full license. So long as you understand the rules of the road, and you've got a bit of common sense, you can drive an auto. 'Learning' how to drive an auto. but not a stick shift is like learning how to ride a bike with training wheels. Kind of. In any case, congratulations on passing the test man - well done.
Fields Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Well I have failed my test twice, just because I can't reverse around a corner.
Owen Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Sorry i'm late! WELL DONE LUKELEE! I passed first time, god knows how, i was SO SO NERVOUS! CONGRATULATIONS!
Maverick Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 CONGRATULATIONS MAN! I need to ask ya how many marks do you need to get to pass the hazard perception?
RoadKill Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 How are automatics a curse? I still need to learn stick shift. Because it makes you think driving is easy, when it really isn't, learning a manual takes more skill and you have to learn to co-ordinate and concentrate more. If you pass your test in an automatic in the UK, you get a crippled licence only allowing you to drive an automatic, so nobody does it, most people drive manuals. I've only ever driven manuals.
LukeLee Posted November 24, 2005 Author Posted November 24, 2005 CONGRATULATIONS MAN! I need to ask ya how many marks do you need to get to pass the hazard perception? I cant remember exactly, for theory you need like at least 30 out of 35 and for perception it is something like 40 out of 75 - it is marked by reaction times. Like a possible danger may come into view, if you see it fast and click quick you get like 10/10. All this reminds me i now need to sell my theory/perception cd-rom things. I will have a quick look on them to give you a definite answer.
