How would you go,with a random RTA driving test?.

LOL!, Thats it Kim!.




Cheers Axle.

HAhahahaha!, Thats a worry!


Cheers Axle.

I'm begining to think that the oral and practical tests are a waste of time looking at the road toll at the moment!. i probably wouldn't pass the current license tests, but am quite sure i'm not causing any accidents either!!.


Cheers Axle.

Pretty sure I could do a better job of failing the irrelevant drivel, written test sections, better than you ... LOL

Axle

I think it's more about attitude than anything else. You can take a Donkey to water, but you can't make it drink.

Unless you starve the bugger, then he'll drink!

Sadly we lost 6 people in Victoria last weekend.

Kim

LOL Barry!, ....Not much has changed mate ,its just if you stop and give way to the right, someone runs up your clacker!!...lol.


Cheers Axle.

In low range, first gear.

LOL, when I read this I immediately thought of SA. Then I saw where you are from.

Crow Eaters are by far the worst at merging, they wont let you do it!

Rubbish Off-track us WA types are far worse. We don't even give way at round abouts..................lol..............well I would be laughing if it wasn't so true

Cheers Pop

Not just S.Ozzies don't know the rules. If a lane divider is present then then is no onus on the driver to give way to the vehicle that wants to merge. Good manners suggest you should.

That maybe true but more often than not SA drivers will speed up to prevent you merging in front of them.

Pays to have an old crappy car in this situation ;-)

I didn't do bad for a Victorian doing a NSW test. 43 out of 45. Cheers.

Roger B.....

i failed only on trick questions but still failed 35 morry

Failed the car test, but passed the road train test..

Not bad for a Queenslander on a NSW test.

Got the same as you Roger B. 43 out of 45. Fail.
You have to look at what questions you got wrong. Some sections you have to get 100%

Hi Dug
Mine was as exciting as yours. Was living in Charters Towers and my old man purchased an FC Holden off the local Sarge.
We went into the police station to pay him and the Sarge asked the old man how old I was. Dad said 17 and the Sarge said he thought I was older as hed seen me driving around town for a while.
Sarge automatically gave me a licence and told me to behave myself.
Cheers

Howard.

Sorry mate.
Meant to say it WASNT as exciting as yours.

Went to get my M/cycle licence in 1971, police station in Olive st Albury NSW , Sgt Moffat says " get on the bike and ride it down to the traffic lights at Dean st , do not stop or put your foot on the ground , do a U turn and come back here " , I set off , traffic lights are RED so I Stop and put foot onto ground , lights change and I do the U turn and ride back to the station ,, Sgt Moffat says " should bloody fail you for not obeying a police direction , come inside while I do the paperwork or your licence " No other test or questions , wrote out car license at same time.

Melbourne is a good example why :-)

Turning right from the far left lane????

G'day Carl,

I don't blame young people I blame my wife! Now where I am seriously toning down my boy racer image - seeing that I am past that age - the bride seems to think that a trip to work is a race for F1 victory and she is determined for a podium finish. Would I pass? The practical no problem but the theory could be tricky. More importantly would she pass - no way!

Fortunately she does not read EO so I'm safe!

Kind regards

Sounds like the Russians are smarter than the Indonesians - the smallest vehicles (motorbikes) have supreme right of way over any other vehicle, cars have right of way over trucks and buses and simple limp wave from a daring pedestrian too lazy to walk to the nearest footbridge brings multi-lane arterials to a standstill. No wonder it takes a whole day for a truck to get from the seaport to the highway just 12km away!

"Mums drive safe because they carry precious cargo and they realise how delicate it is! "

You been to a school drop off recently??

actually we moved schools this year and now have to drive most days (kinder and school drop off times don't allow walking) and have noticed the parents seem a LOT better than at the old school where they regularly disobey parking regulations and speed through the crossing. The one that REALLY gets me is outside kinder where someone ALWAYS manages to park smack bang in front of the fire hydrant - just STUPID.

so yes point taken I think a lot of parents lose their sanity at school drop off/pick up....we are sane and leave early for both pick up and drop off so we are in plenty of time to get a park and rarely encounter issues but I have been aware of them at the old school and certainly have heard nightmarish stories....

so yes I concede some parents are no better than hoons - worse in fact as they endanger the lives of their kids and others!

Those 'Baby On Board' signs really grate me. There should be no difference to the respect shown for a driver without kids to one that does.

Couldnt believe a similar yellow sign on the back of a station wagon recently "Show Dogs On Board'. Moron.

The original idea of those signs was to alert emeregency services in case of an accident. Urban folklore says there was a couple of instances of a babies dying cause they got overlooked at an accident scene.

Actually I treat them as warning sign of the capacity for the following to occur:

The driver will take one hand off the steering wheel to grab the toy which has fallen to the floor

The driver will stretch to lean into the back seat and will wobble within or outside lanes

The driver will spend more time looking in the mirror checking out their offspring’s well being than watching the road

The driver is hypnotised (brain dead) by the 1000000th repetition of “Big Red Car”

The driver’s attention will be consumed with intricacy of conflict resolution.

The driver will be in a hurry, running late for the next activity

The driver will be of the belief that because they have procreated they, and their child, are more important than any other road user

Failed one question....fortunately it was to do with the number of passengers allowed by a P1 licence holder after 11pm etc
