  1. #Driving #DrivingTest #Car #Student

    My driving instructor (way back in 1996…) asked every student the same question before he even started having practice driving lessons with that student, and the question was…
    "How do you enter a car?"

    I won't give away the correct answer (yet) but I'm interested in what you think it is.
    Let me know!

  2. Best practice examples from the emergency services!‼️ 🚑

    I really enjoy watching these kinds of emergency response videos, whether they’re from the fire brigade, an ambulance or the police, and I’m always delighted to see German motorists making proper way for emergency vehicles with their blue lights on by forming that emergency corridor. 🤩

    It’s good to know that forming an emergency corridor is an essential part of driving test training in Germany. 😃

  3. Wish I could console my ASD person. They’ve failed their driving test for the second time. They’re an able driver, since obtaining an automatic, but the stress of being tested by a stranger… 😱

    Apparently in the feedback the examiner said that generally they were a “good driver”. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    And then there’s the problem of obtaining another test. It’s looking like May unless someone cancels and they happen to check at the ‘right’ time. Then we’ll have the stressful build up all over again. #DrivingTest

  4. Took my 18 yr old granddaughter to her driving test in Carmarthen yesterday. While she was reversing into a parking bay clearly designated for test candidates, some old duffer come running up to tell us we couldn't park there because he had testee due back and she'd need to park there.

    I pointed out that these are test centre spaces and my GD was there for her test, but this guy insisted the space had to be kept for his testee...

  5. This isn't a proper comparison of NZ's #DrivingTest to other countries.

    In the Netherlands peeps must go through a process of X practical lessons from an qualified driving instructor; need to pass a theoretical and practical exam.

    And master these special manoeuvres:
    * Reversing in a straight line
    * Reversing in a bend
    * Parking in a square or diagonal space
    * Parking in a line of cars
    * Reversing by crossing over
    * Reversing by half a turn
    * Slope test

  6. Got another old #motoring book, a #drivers #education book published by the #Autocar magazine apparently from 1942, although it doesn't mention wartime conditions (other editions of this book do).

    There wasn't even a #DrivingTest - whilst this was introduced in 1935, it was suspended when war broke out in 1939 and not reintroduced until 1946! #Cars weren't as easy to drive, ignition timing and idle speed had to be adjusted at the steering wheel to avoid stalling or racing the engine in neutral

  7. Crazy.

    One more story that contributes to the feeling just now that everything is broken.

  8. Just went for a Driving License test at the Gurugram RTO. Haven't been more apprehensive of any test than I was this morning- including the exams I cleared for the three-letter engineering and management institutes. The test per-se was quite well designed - it did really test a persons driving skill and, I reckon, had a 40-50% pass rate. That's low but is indicative of our driving skills in general, IMO. More relieved than happy to have made it through.
