@genericfirstname haha any time :) like i've said I've help my learners for a month now and I've done 11 hours and 40 minuets so far :) haha so hopefully I can get 100 hours before next year.
We've got L plates in the UK too, not surprising really what with how closely linked our countries are. It's great when you finally achieve the freedom of having your own car, though like having a child you'll never have money again ;(
I disagree about the reliability of authors. I loved the first 5 or 6 of Terry Goodkind's sword of truth books for example, then it all kind of went to hell...Could say the same about the Harry Potter books, more badly edited and self-indulgent as the series went
Yeah a lot of our laws and regulations come from the UK. Oh well yeah that author reliability doesn't happen every time but I think it's a good indicator, better than just looking at the front cover.
Yeah if you're on your learner licence you have to stick them on the front and back of your car so other motorists know that you don't know what you're doing. Do other countries not do that?
Not in the States. Here you just go and take a test to get your permit. The permit only lets you drive with a responsible adult, and I think you can get it when you're 14. At least where I live. Then at 16 you can get you're license. But we don't get L's.
Well we sit a road rules test at 16 and you have to have your Ls for a year and have one hundred hours driving time documented. After that you get your Ps, which is your licence but with a couple limits because you're still new at it. Obviously I could have gotten my Ls a few years ago now.
i guess i should expand on my answer. here in alberta instead of an "L" we get a class 7 license. at the age of 14 you can fill out a 25 question multiple choice exam. if you pass with a minimum of (i think) 80%, you get your class 7. this allows you to operate any pasenger vehicle as long as you are acompanied by someone who has a class 5. after one year of having this "learners" licence, you take a road test, and if you pass, you get your class 5 GDL (graduated drivers licence) cntd
you must hold this licence for a minimum of 2 years, and be suspension free in the 2nd year. after this probationary period you can take an advanced road test after passing which, you are given your class 5 (non GDL). this permits you to operate any passenger vehicle. to make things even worse, you can take a Q endorsement which allows you to operate vehicles with airbrakes, so long as you have the right licence for that class of vehicle. (class 5 Q = 2 axles, class 3 Q + 3 axles). cntd
a class 4 is taxi, class 2 is bus and class 1 is any on highway vehicle excluding motorcycles. for motorcycles you need a class 6 which is obtainable at the age of 16. for any of these there is generally no indications that you are learning unless you make your own signs or are driving a drivers education vehicle. also drivers ed is available for all of the above. alberta operating licencing sounds fun, eh?
@terroriticus well I am unsure as to where in Australia she lives but I know I live in queensland and I've had my learners for a month now. and I know in queensland you can go for your learners licsence when your 16 and you sit a 30 question written test and you have to get no more then 3 questions wrong to get your learners. then your licsence is valid for 3 years but you have to be atleast 17 and have held your learners licsence for a year to be able to go for your licsence
I love how you are as spastic in your videos (and I'm assuming real life too) as I am on an every day basis. I hope you enjoy Katherines. You'll have to tell us what you think when you're done
Ha thanks, yeah what you see is what you get I don't really play myself up- although I do edit crap out. I'm assuming I'll enjoy AOK, because authors are usually consistent in how enjoyable they are. Gosh I hope that makes sense I'm going back to bed now....
Ha well, Oh man.. you have to click the see all comments link and see the three thumbnails for this vid. You will know what I'm on about when you see the one on the right. Back to what I was going to say, eh driving unfortunately is necessary. Also despite the obvious nerdfighter hype John's books are in actual fact very good.
Blow you're mind! too funny... and then falling off the chair and disappearing, priceless.

Also 'grats on your Ls (I really should get my Ps) and I guess I probably should read John Green's books at some stage.
