Well i went in and got my P's today. Got them on my first try. I was kind of expecting it too be a lot more in depth, all i had to do was a 45degree angle park and a kerbside stop. Other than that i just had to drive around.
It feels alot better driving around without someone beside you. Alot more independent. *OFF TOPIC* Earlier tonight while driving around in a convoy of mates one of my mates rear ended another mates car. Just out of town doing about 80-90 coming into a corner the front car braked a bit hard and the bloke behind locked up his brakes and rear ended the other car sending both cars off the road. Not good!! I only just got back from out at the accident scene and they are still out there waiting for the police (been waiting for nearly 2 hours).

gotta love that.. "I just got my license!! was soooooo easy".. hear that all the time..
almost as often as "another young driver has died tonight after driving into a solid stationary object" but anyways, congrats on getting yours, and learn from your mates mistake. |
