LIFE : Got my licence yesterday
What do you have to do to fail your driving licence test?
Because I got mine...and I did the following
5 major things, and I still got my licence!
On other good news, I had a guy get really excited about my buggy this morning. He knew all about the types of cars, so I know it's going to a good owner.

Because I got mine...and I did the following
- when starting the test the first thing I did was pull out in front of a car as I exited the testing centre. It wasn't right on my arse, but it definitely had to slow down to let me in.
- then a short while later I was asked to turn right into a street. Approaching was another car, it's left indicator on. In NZ this means he gives way to me. Cool. So I turned, only to have him speed on past behind me - his left turn indicator being incorrect. ie I almost killed my tester. He remarked and made me pull over and explain myself. How did I not instantly fail?
- turning right at a T intersection which was painted to imply everyone turns right, I put my right turn indicator on - he considered this to be an incorrect signal. I disagree but whatever.
- At one point, 30 seconds after I had broken the speed limit and slowed down, he asked what speed I was doing - and I was doing smack bang on the right speed, which I told him. He said it was more like 55, so I am happy he hadn't seen my speed when I _had_ been speeding...
- We have to give descriptions of the hazards we see and what we are doing to compensate for them at certain sections of the test. I did this, but _every_ time he told me off for not talking enough, and not describing what I am doing in response to the hazards enough.
