Got my L, time to get drunk!

[ShadowSoldier]

I went for my L (Again, 3rd L) today. I passed. Pissed my dad off because I was up all night playing games and didn't sleep. I also don't study for them and always pass.

For people who are curious, on learners, you need to get 40 out of 50 right. You can have 10 wrong, but the 11th wrong and the test shuts down. You can skip each question up to 3 times before the test comes back to it, then you have to answer it. They also have on the test, 4 possible answers, with all of them sounding correct.

So who has gone for their learners and got it? Do you study for it or anything? Or do you get to crammed up and then can't remember everything?

:just little bit of fuck facts from today:

Spoiler

One of the problems I found today were two questions which were bogus. One question asked:

"What is the main cause of skidding?" I narrowed it down to:
Slippery road
driving too fast

I said Slippery road. I got the answer wrong and the correct answer was "Poor driving skills"

Another one also said that "People's driving skills:"
"Change from day to day"
"Stay the same"
"They're born that way"

I said change day to day. Because I was thinking, if someone is mad one day, they might wake up the next day all happy. Nope. It "They're born that way"

That can't be real.
Driving theory tests don't expect you to answer things such as "The driver isn't good enough" or "They're born with their driving skill".
I got 27/30 on my test and didnt have to answer bs like that.

I have mine. Easy. Drug and Alcohol course, and then the actual test. Passed first try. Never use it.

Got my learners a few weeks back. It was simple. I love watching my dad get paranoid when he takes me for lessons in his brand new $43,000 car, it's priceless =)

People's driving skills stay the same
People's driving skills change from day to day
People's driving skills they're born that way

The "correct" answer doesn't even form a correct sentence O.o

A lot of questions don't...

Out of curiosity, what's a learners? From the comments my guess is a driving permit.

Atleast in Australia, it's a driving permit you can get at the age of 16 to learn how to drive a car with a superviser in the passenger seat at all times.

When are blogs coming back?

I've gotten my learner's without a single study session 3 times. I just never go for my license 'cause driving suuuuuuucks.

I hate the GPL in BC. It's so annoying. The written test is so useless. You can just online mock exams over and over again. No need to study.

Why haven't you gone for your "N" yet?

 

[Bobbyloujo]

Learners permit tests in America (at least in my state, anyway) are easy. I only missed one question one my first try IIRC. The actual driver's test is easy too. The hardest part is parallel parking, but after that it's a breeze. Luckily, I nailed the parallel parking and passed the test on my first try.

When is the same question going to stop being asked over and over and over and over and over and over...

I've gone for it... twice? Or 3 times, can't remember. I failed each time. First time I did everything right, like no instant fail, but I was docked a lot for apparently not shoulder checking which is dumb because majority of the time, the tester was looking out the window not even at me or anything.

The other time I did everything right, perfect parallel, perfect parking, shoulder checking and everything, but I missed a school zone sign and that's an instant fail. Like I wasn't speeding through it, I was going 60 or something and it was a few moments after we passed the sign that he told me we're in the zone.

The last time though (school zone) I'm not taking too personal too though because I was taking my test in a town that I've never driven in before, so I didn't know the place at all, and had only gotten a few hours driving practice before the test. The towns here where they are, they're all so busy like a 5 way intersection, like these are big cities. So I went into town where my sister lives and tried it there. I felt a lot better but like I said, one thing was the school zone sign.

Hopefully soon. I'm kinda tired of seeing blogs in GOTC.

Those questions are really weird...Here in Ontario, licenses work like this: You first get a G1, then a G2, and then a full G. G1 you need a licensed G driver with 4 years driving experience in the passenger. G2 you can drive on your own, with a couple restrictions, and G no restricitons. G1 is just 2 tests each out of 20. One is a test that has questions about rules of the road, nothing like the two you posted. The second is signs and ehat they mean. The first time I went for my G1 I failed because I didn't study at all...So I studied up and passed. The G2, you have to do a road test. You (generally) practice parallel parking, hillside stops, three point turns, and they make sure you're following rules correctly. I practiced a lot for that. It seemed kind of pointless. The test was simple. I don't have my G yet, but I'm pretty sure you just have to do more driving maneuvers than the G2.

Sounds like the exact same system, just with different name.
L = G1
N = G2
and then a full license.

EDIT: that's what BC calls it. Dunno what other provinces.
