driving

[Abbie.]

is it true that they're going to have 2 tests now

like one at night, and one in the day? and u have to pass both


i was told this lol :S


im 17 on sunday, and im starting driving lessions pretty much straight away

[Elasticated]

god i hope not, if you were doing it mid summer you'd have to wait til like midnight to do the test and you'd be too tired probs.

[N!ck]

Today I heard something from a friend about a new test taking like 2.5 hours rather than the 40 mins it takes now. No worries for me though as I passed around a month ago.

No changes just yet, but take a read on what they are proposing.

The Public Consultation is open for 16 weeks, closing on September 9, 2008. Once the results have been collated and considered by ministers in parliament it will take at least 9 months thereafter for the changes to take effect.

The age isn't changing so its all good, its just changes to the test... To make it better :).

That'll never happen :|

Q19 How is the test changing?

A19 We want to modernise the driving test so that it better prepares learner drivers for driving alone. We are improving the theory test, the practical test, and looking to split the tests into separate modules.

My birthday was in April but i haven't got off my *** to start learning yet. I'm hoping to have 4/5 lessons a week for 4 or 5 weeks, and hopefully pass in August / September! :D

You best get your theory out the way then ;)

Getting a license in Canada seems easier, but takes around 2 years to get :o

No one really decides the prices of lessons as a whole, it's done by the school or independent teacher. Some charge more, some charge less. It's going up a bit with petrol prices at the moment, if anything :P
