I have a few friends who failed six times, they are very good, careful, safe drivers.

Yea i'm sure they are great... i hope they let people know they failed a simple test 6 times.

To a thread foreign to him.

OH! THANKS AZIZ! Didn't check my notes on his patterns.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

well, they've had a lot of practice haven't they?

Yeah.

Yea i'm sure they are great... i hope they let people know they failed a simple test 6 times.

Better fail under supervision of someone that makes the rest of the road feel safe, It boosted their sense of responsibility.
It's useful to fail a few times, unless you're a surgeon.

OH! THANKS AZIZ! Didn't check my notes on his patterns.

I know about ones I interact with and their visits to threads I frequent, the notion that I keep notes on everyone makes it sound like I can find the size of their shoes.

 

[ComicChick]

what size shoe does Scribe wear?

 

[Spider-Aziz]

How should I know? Ask him.

 

[ComicChick]

check your notes

 

[Reek]

"a few times" is like...3... maybe 4 if you're lucky... 6... No... i cut the line at 3. If you cant pass a simple driving test after 3 times... you dont need to be on the road. period.

Turn left. good.

ok.. now turn right... good!

lets check your lights... good!

right blinker? left blinker? good! now park over there.... good!

try not to drive in that lane that says 'bus lane'... thats for busses silly!

You pass.

 

[Reek]

DA SCRIBE tell me your damn shoe size.

I had to win a Formula One race AND make the guy a perfect mojito.

check your notes

They say "Fresh eggs with dark yellow to orange yolk are beautiful".

When driving stick, it's annoying when loosening pressure on the clutch shuts the car engne, and hand break can be a pain when you pull it to stand on an uphill and it doesn't pull back all the way, making the car slide down the slope backwards.

 

[ComicChick]

after you fail it a certain amount of times, don't you have to pay? and there's a certain amount of time you have to wait before you can retake it?

I wouldn't know, i passed my first try

 

[Reek]

Captain Matthews calls them 'mosquitoes'

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I wouldn't know, i passed my first try

The pay here is 6 more hours of training, and a 30-40 days of between the end of those six hours until the next test.

 

[Reek]

Well, Aziz, they should learn how to drive stick before getting tested... and if not.. learn before the 2nd test... or 3rd.... or 4th... or 5th.... or 6th...

that's ridiculous lol

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Even those who master the thing can make mistakes during the test. It sounds ridiculous until you experience something similar.

 

[ComicChick]

so, it pretty much took them a whole year to get their license

they're allowed to practice during their month off too right?

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Close to it.

 

[Reek]

no... it sounds ridiculous because 6 times is excessive as hell and no one should be allowed to drive at that point... or... 3 failures before that.

 

[ComicChick]

so when you mean fail, you mean the behind the wheel test only right?

not the signs and stuff

 

[Reek]

I'm glad you're not in charge of making traffic rules.

so when you mean fail, you mean the behind the wheel test only right?

Mostly column 'A', there is a little of column 'B' for some.

 

[ComicChick]

ok where i live, you take the sign test, and you have to get 100% to get your permit or whatevs. then you take the driving test which is pass, or fail.

is it not the same? what's "for some" mean? is the testing not universal?

 

[Reek]

I'm glad you're not in charge of making traffic rules.

yea...god forbid that... we'd only have safer streets without idiots who don't know how to drive. who wants that? stupid reek.

 

[Greens]

I don't know if it's the same in all of the US, but different countries do have lower or higher standards. I believe it's harder to get your license in Scandinavia but they also have fewer traffic deaths.

AAaahhhhh, we don't have oral or written tests.
I thought you meant if some make the mistake of something like drive into a 'No Entry' zone, there are those who do it.

 

[Reek]

a drivers test can only be so hard... we aren't driving rocket ships or shooting red shells at each other. if you fail it 3-6 times you suck and shouldnt drive
