It's not about laziness but believe me not only is driving awesome, it helps you get a job, at least where I am.

Congrats!!

I've been driving for 3 (going on 4) years now and absolutely love it!

Got 35/35 on my theory (passed first time),

Passed my driving test first time too! (one of the elite 16% as my driving instructor put it!)

congrats roadkill! awesome stuff!

ive been driving since i was 17, im now 22 so oooo when i took mine about 5 years ago they only had the one theory test which was marked out of 35... you needed to get 30 to pass and i think i got 2 wrong and got 33. I then went on to pass my driving test first time with 9 minors :)

great stuff by the way, well done :)

I can't even remember what score I got on my theory test... I passed though, but I was really nervous, didn't think I was going to do very well and was worried about having to pay for it twice.

Even if you don't like driving and you don't want a car or you think petrol prices are going to rise, do yourself a favour and when you can, put aside money to do lessons and such, it's very much worthwhile having.

I think the theory for a car is £21.

A massive congratulations Roady. Driving is awesome, but learning is bluudy infuriated as some of you might know.

I took my theory on my 17th Birthday and got 35\35 and 70\75. I was pretty chuffed, having passed first time rather promptly I thought the ol' practical would be easy.

But....I failed twice for speeding. Doing about 2mph over the sodding speed limit. I only failed on that! And as for the waiting lists...8 weeks! *shakes fist*

Anywho, having passed four months ago I can say driving is simply awesome. Just don't speed...the cops keep pulling me over giving me warnings, I keep assuring them I am a fast and skillful driver...well not really I just apologise greatly and they let me off.

Remember, the ol' 'I got the rev counter and speedo mixed up officer'. Always works. With often works anywho for me because I like to keep the revs between 5-8,000RPM. :D

I have my driving test tomorrow at 2:30!!!

Not that nervous yet but I know when it comes around tomorrow I will be shitting myself! Hope I pass first time as it's bleeding expensive and I would have to wait another 6 weeks until I can take it again.

Don't know how it works over the pond, but I currently have my learner's permit which allows me to drive with an instructor or adult in the car. I had to pay $70 for driver's education to get the permit plus pass the written test, and I need to do 3 sessions of behind-the-wheel training which cost another $70 each. Bloody expensive, but in February when I just turn 16 I should have my license. Wohooo!

Congrats, Roadkill. Ultimate freedom I bet.

can't remember what it was like when i did my test. i think there was a lot of reversing.
its a lot easier driving behind a tv screen.
hope to see you all out there on the road...possibly sideways

I failed my test twice when I was 17 (1995) then took it up again earlier this year and passed first time (third overall). It is a pain not being able to drive and passing my test has made life considerably easier. I don't like driving but it's a good thing to have passed your test. If you leave it you may regret it, as I did. It was so much more expensive this time around, especially as my parents were paying when I was 17.

I passed my first theoretical test with 11 faults. We're allowed to have a maximum of 22.
However, I didn't pass my driving test, 'cause I really suck at driving.
Gonna have a new driving test soon. I guess I'll fail that too.

Congrats on passing, btw.

I passed first time! WooHoo!

Thank god that's over and I don't have to go through that again. I got 11 minors altogether. I was totally crapping it at the end when he was marking the sheet. I was expecting him to turn around and say I've failed. Great when he said I was successful! :smile:

I can't be asked to drive at the moment...waste of time and money.

Just thought I should say, congrats.

Also, congrats to Offerman for passing his driving test.

About 7 months until I can start learning. I've driven up and down the driveway at my other house (1 mile long :awesome:) quite a few times and I love it. Also been in the fields in a 4x4. Can't wait until I can go on the road with a car that actually turns if you move the steering wheel 90 degrees. :D

I passed my theory first time (33/35, cant remember the hazard perception score), it was pretty easy given that all the questions that came up on the test were identical to the ones I was revising on my practice CD. :D
