Remember to hand back the keys to the test car, I was so excited when I got mine I took off with them still in my pocket!
 No mobile phones back then, so it took them hours to track me down. |

Just got back home, with a pass on my licence
!I ended up getting 1 critical error.. It was stupid on my behalf as he told me "On the 2nd street, turn right" LMAO! I ended up pulling into the cop station witch he thought was hilarious and was laughing all the way back to Victroads lol. It was at the very end of the test too lol. Other then That, he said it was an almost perfect pass and he was happy about handing me my licence. Yay, thanks for the support AFF! |

Congratulations.
Just be aware that now is when you will start to actually learn to drive. This is how it works: Every morning every other person in the world has a meeting and one is selected to try and kill you. They may be in another vehicle or set a trap like gravel on the road or make it rain or let down one of your tyres or just ring you on your mobile while you are driving. Your mission is to spot the trap and avoid it. Have fun........ |

I had to do my 3 point turn backing toward a storm water canal. The assessor grabbed for the handbrake just before I started to reverse, freaked me out, and I stalled it.
She failed me for that.

Congrats on passing & the job
my partner on his test had a bus come through a give way sign on him. He braked hard (as you would) and was instantly failed by his instructor. I wanted to know what they wanted him to do exactly? Hit it? Get a free ride in an ambulance? Perhaps a posthumous pass on his licence? And I believe that tool is still a tester at richmond nsw.

I don't think I was the only cause and this is the honest truth, my driving instructor died of a heart attack not long after my last lesson and driving test R.I.P. I passed first go by the way and back then many of the instructors vehicles (including his) were fitted with passenger steering controls as well as a set of pedals
 Congrats on getting your licence too, drive safely
