I'm basically too slow at everything, not observant enough etc etc so I guess I just need practice. I've practiced for a long while already though and I am not sure how to get good enough.. I have lenses, so I am going to check my eyesight again though, it might have deteriorated a little further, maybe that is why he thinks I should be able to notice things earlier.
80$ per hour...? that's a shitload of money, here' it's been 120 NIS for 40 minutes (which would translate to 45$ for an hour).
and 500 for the test.. that's also a lot.
so yeah, I see why it sucks.
if it makes you feel better, I probably had to pay more, I had almost 8 months between my first test and the 2nd.
next time, show the examiner how observant you are by doing really big movement when you look at the side mirrors. make sure he notices how much you do it.
I never even had to take a driving test.
I don't know how it works everywhere else, but the school I did it with required us to have 14 hours of supervised in-car practice. We had a paper test, of course, but once you drove with an instructor for an accumulated 14 hours you were certified to get your license.

But no practical examination is just weird.
30h here, + 30h of theory + theory and practical exam here...but no practical exam is just...worst option possible - if there was no practical part here half of youths would die here(some guys just after they get driving license drive as fast as 150 km/h on 50 km/h max road)
wait i take that back - natural selection.
lol. They should just station some police cameras right outside the examination centre. :pQuote:

Theory lessons take 30h and they are obligatory if you want to take the exam.
My car got broken into this weekend. Time to replace a lot of stuff...
Actually not a lot of things with real monetary value were taken. Just a bunch of keepsakes in my wallet and clothes in my backpack.
My favorite shirt was in there. And my favorite comb :(.
I had that happen to me before, so did my sister. Lesson to all, never ever leave anything of value in plain sight in your car.Quote:

I was coming from 6th Street, parking my car around West Campus to crash at friend's place and had all the "important" stuff (cards/license/money) in my pockets and left everything else because I was shattered and didn't want to bother with it.Quote:

A blender? Were you making margaritas?
Only 14 hours? In Illinois, its like 40 hours with someone that has a license, and then you can go get a license, unless your birthday falls on what they call a "check date" (which mine did), and they make you take the test anyway. But it didn't cost anything, I think.Quote:

Bitch is, I've never seen that stuff around here, and the place that's got the widest variety of computer parts is in Melbourne (and they've got some), which means I'll pay $12 postage for something that costs $3. :(
Took my first final of the semester today... it was rough. Second semester Japanese. After 2 hours and with 1 hour to go, I still had 6 or 7 pages to go. It was a 15 page final!!!
I called into a political radio show, and I was nearly about to get on the air. Then the caller before me started going into this big rant about "corporations" this, "corporations" that and I just kept groaning inwardly waiting for my turn.
He went on so long that they ran out of time. :(
I was so close!
