1153680 2010-11-18 20:38:00 Hey MD,

I just sat mine in August this year. Was buying a new car and a term/condition if you're on your L's and under 25 you must do a licence upgrade to take the car off the lot. The only thing about it was I had to drive a car from the lot (not the one I was buying). So I was nervious as h3ll because I had never driven the car and didn't have a feel for it. But I still past dispite having a bad instructor, who told me to *IGNORE* a Road Works 30km speed limit sign! Hello I'm trying to pass my driving test and your telling me to ignore road signs!? Then blamed me that a Holden flew around the corner behind me and almost rear ended me haha.

You'll be fine - Just drive, stay calm, keep checking the blind spots and check the rear view mirror every 3 - 5 seconds.

Good luck - let us know how you get on!

1153681 2010-11-18 20:49:00 I'd be more interested in giving advise on how to KEEP a learners licence, coz it seems way too many folk immediately flout the rules, burn rubber, drive mates at night, drive after hours, hoon, drink & drive...

Don't be a dickhead! Rules are rules. Obey them 100%.

Did you slow down? Sounds like the 'passenger pressure' test that my daughter and son encountered (mentioned earlier in this thread). They stuck to the letter of the law, refused to stop as instructed, and passed ok.

1153685 2010-11-19 01:08:00 Yeah I slowed down. I wasn't going to risk it. I'd been warned prior about this particular guy though - apparently he aims to fail people.

Now I have my Toyota Will VS 2001 - Silver, Tinted windows, Twin Big Bore Exausts, as low as legal limit and drives like a dream <3
