Will that effect your Doctorate in Medicine or Business?

Indeed.

It's at the "almost normal" size now, considering there are 2 more levels to go...:pinch:

Oh to Rossco, what I meant was I have to take driving school, but have to wait 8 months for my G2. Guess I wasn't expressing myself too clearly 'cause I was too overjoyed:P.

Anyways, to anyone taking their G1 in the future: Don't worry about it.

There are 40 questions on the test, randomly selected out of approx. 200 questions. You must answer 32/40 (80%) to pass.

Around 25 questions are common sense, 10 are straight-out-of-handbook facts, and 5 requires a bit of reasoning. So just spend an hour reading the handbook, and memorize a whole bunch of numbers.

Seriously, I was like OMFG when this came up on my test today: (not exactly wording but you get the idea)

"When you want to make a right turn, you must stay on this side of the road"

A. Left side
B. Right side
C. Close to the traffic island
D. It does not matter as long as you signal properly

Liek, seriously, unless you've never ridden in a car before, kill yourself if you can't get this question right:emo:

G1? 8 months? damn you guys lol, what province do you live in? BC is a bitch to get your actual license, you gotta take the test equivalent to your "G1" which is referred to as "L" here (learners, which is ridiculously easy and also requires 80% to pass, out of 50 questions) but you gotta wait 1 whole year before taking your roadtest to get your "N" license (G2 for you guys I guess).

Difference between and N (Novice) and L (Learners) is that with L you always need someone with 5 years driving exp. with you while driving, and when you get your N (Considering you passed your roadtest) you get to drive by yourself and can only carry one passenger.

Then 2 years after getting N (I think it's 2 years, might be a bit less) you go for Class 5 license (g3?) which is basically all restrictions removed and is in essence another roadtest but much tougher.

Oh and if you go to driving school like Seedler, 3 months gets knocked off your L so you can take your N test (g2) 9 months after getting your L (g1)


Too many rules man, just let us drive lol.

Ya I've heard some stories about Young Drivers as well, and the fact it costs like 950+taxes in BC is ridiculous.
