 What's up guys take down here with another story time video for you I'm enjoying making these videos, and that's why I want to I going forward in 2018 continue With this series whether or not gets the success. I'm just enjoying what I'm doing And I hope you guys are enjoying these videos too Today, however, is gonna be one that I didn't plan on. I'm just basically gonna go really quick Everything else I thought about kind of stuff that I wanted to say in the video But this one here is kind of an unknown it is Basically me talking about how I got my license And I got it late later than most people my age So I live in Canada and how getting your license works is once you're 16 You can go and write your g1 test, which is the written test After that you have one year Of driving and then you can go for your g2, which is your first road test now you could go and Do some of the the driving courses go to the driving school and you can get it after eight months I Didn't do that but I Never went for my g1 license until I was 17 I loved cars and everything at the time, but I wasn't interested. I didn't have no interest in getting my license years later. I Realized after thinking about it. Why haven't I got my license in my head? I determined the reason why is because When I was really young probably o3 something like that I was in an accident even though it wasn't a bad accident I wasn't hurt or anything. I think that might have triggered a memory and also going into the eighth grade No going into the seventh grade my parents were into a really bad car accident Survived, but they had a lot of damage mom got hit in the head dad hurt his wrist dad hasn't worked I think he got let go a year or two after and he hasn't worked since so it's been tough and everything I think that's why I was so late getting my license But in 27 2017 whoa screw that up when I was 17 I went and got the written part of my license then I started to drive here and there Started to get better. I was terrible at first, but I was decent one of my problems I have is driving with two hands a new going for my g2. I had to drive two hands on the wheel I love driving with one and now that I got my g2. I drive with one But let's kind of go into getting my g2 Which is a terrible story But I'm gonna share it with you guys because I think you guys deserve to know and you might get a laugh out of it To know my driving abilities that as opposed to now Mostly when I went for my cast I was just scared that day not not scared But the guy I was that was testing me was an ass didn't say anything and was strict and his tone of voice everything it Gave me the wrong vibe. So When I started the to drive This was 2017 March 2017 so I had my g1 for three years and then finally I just said screw it I booked it. It was free because I whenever you pay for your g1 You're also paying for your g2 road test, but since I failed I had to pay for it for the second time But the first time I went I Didn't do too bad One one of the first mistakes. I did was I forgot to set the parking brake whenever I did the hill The emergency stop as if it was a hill or an incline or something I turned my steering wheel the right way, but I forgot to set the parking brake So I didn't think that was a big fail. But what I did when I did my parallel parking I did okay going in But what happened whenever I went to leave there's a little bit of traffic so Number one I had it in Park and whenever I went to leave I kind of rev the engine that was a fail for that part because I read the engine the gears were set wrong And then whenever it came time to go when it was clear I put it in reverse To back up because whenever I parked I went in went forward So whenever I it was time to go I backed up and I waited for the traffic to go and I forgot to put it in Forward so never I kind of went on the gas We started going backwards and that freaked me out So I stepped on the gas and I stepped on the brake luckily there's nothing behind us and then what but that was the major Fail I did. I also wasn't checking my blind spot or anything like that So that was kind of the only thing which he freaked me out. That's my it's my fault But I blame kind of blame that a little bit for X the situation at hand So it wasn't that I was scared to go back But I just never thought about going back to get my G to when I went time I tried booking it. I tried booking it. I tried booking it tried booking it with my parents credit card didn't work I tried using my bank card didn't work. I booked one and then all of a sudden it said that one was Already taken up. So I tried it again. Then the website started crashing what I managed to do I didn't ask them, but one of my co-workers Who's who's like one of my closest friends is I consider my a second mother She while we're at work. She went she put her credit card in that's how I booked my Test and I basically just gave her the money for it was $50 and some which I thought Jesus that's quite a bit for just to go for your test again But it is what it is whenever I went back for it again. This was November because I knew I wanted to do it before winter I wanted to get my license for winter because in my mind. I wanted to get a car before winter I wanted to be able to be I wanted to be able to drive myself in the winter. I didn't want to walk again in the winter So I went for my test Not as freaked out. I was calm the whole time one thing I didn't do This time for the hill parking. I didn't turn my wheels the right way. I didn't turn my wheels at all but I Did set the parking brake and then whatever we went off To the next thing he asked for a three-point turn whenever I did my three-point turn. I Acknowledged that the previous thing I didn't turn my steering wheel the right way and I'm like crap I'm probably gonna fail. I didn't turn in the right way. So he asked me well, which way would you have turned them? So I told him it was the right answer So He managed he whenever I at the end he I checked and he just Checkmarked it off as if I did it because I acknowledged that I didn't do it and I told him the right things I would have done second thing. I was way under the speed limit the previous guy that I did the test back to marriage told me 30 miles an hour I was going 25 that day in the the town portion of it Because it was raining like it was pouring out So he told me you're going 25 you should be going 30 to me. I was like five Five kilometers really you're gonna ding me on that but whatever so I was going 30 that day turns out I'm actually supposed to be going 50 So he kept just reminding me once in a while. You should be going faster. So that was the biggest flaw. He said Um Nothing else Really happens bad. I did my parallel parking perfect not the first time whenever I backed in my back of the vehicle The ass end was out too far and it whenever you do your test once you put in park. That's final I didn't put it in park yet. So I just said, okay, I gotta do this again. It's not in park Screw you. I'm doing this again. You're not marking this one. So what did the second one perfect pass me? Got up to the light. There's a truck there We're here Construction vehicle right on the corner so you couldn't see much. I could just see down the sidewalk So I knew there's a truck coming Adam stops there. The guy says Um, why aren't you going? So I waited a second. I said because there's a truck going right here. He's like, oh Okay, he said you did a good call. How did you see it? I said right down the sidewalk I was looking there whenever I seen him. So he he was happy that I did that This was kind of one of those pop-ups that nobody was expecting. He didn't have it planned But because I knew what to do Um, that's why I passed that portion. So I went up. I creeped up seen more vehicles coming Um So I let them go Then there's a vehicle turning let it go and then it was my turn. He says I did really well on that There's some minor things, but Honestly, I'm a good driver now I just had screw ups whenever I did my test the first time, but I think it's mostly because I was scared I'm really in my opinion a good driver safe driver. Enjoy driving It is winter. However, it's january right now As I'm recording this probably not gonna have the safe till february maybe march But I got my license in november because I didn't want to do it over the winter Which you guys probably don't blame me for that now. I have a year until next november To get my next part of my license Um To get my The full g license and what that is is highway driving I'm probably going to do it either november if the roads are good Or i'll do it in the spring because I know I have until august to do it then my license is going to be um Expired Once it's expired I have to go through this whole process again with get my g1 then going back get my g2 And I really don't want to do it. That's why I put forward the effort to go and get my g2 when I did But as for getting a vehicle I plan on getting one for winter I'm going to look for one for spring and what I hope to get I would love to get a 2018 vehicle leaning towards michibishi lancer Honestly, I might just say screw it if I can find a really good one that doesn't need any work Uh an older vehicle maybe a 2010 or up. I'm good with that. I'm hoping like a 20 2014 2015 and up um Something nice something reasonable something cheap. I have money saved But I don't want a lemon. I don't want something I have to put a lot of work into But anyways, this is the eighth story time on my channel Really hope you guys are enjoying the series because I am enjoying making it I am enjoying is sharing my life with you guys sharing experiences with you guys And for the most part, I think you guys are enjoying this too But I will see you guys in the next one.
