Jon has just gotten his G1 Ontario Driver's license. :ph34r:

He's walking around the house after his first ten minute drive repeatedly saying "vroooom".

If so, he's a safer driver than you sealclubbers cause I took the online theory test thing tesco posted, it was so easy that I pwned it with my eyes closed

@Bo... UK driving licence only good for 3 months here, international for 12 months, besides I only ever had a bike licence. Although I agree, the way the law says you should drive here is much more laid back.........thankfully :D

I think what Nik is most concerned about is my recent continuous playing of GT4 and having watched Tokyo Drift last night :shifty:

Yeah I figured I might do that just to speed up the wait and help cheapen the insurance.
BTW to anyone from UK....never ever ever moan about the cost of car/bike insurance ever again........trust me on this, Canadai may be cheap for cars and bikes and half price of fuel but they more than make up for it with insurance <_<

Do I look like a rabbit? :rolleyes:

Well I drove at night last night and held up the sacred tradition of good British driving by nearly running a red light, swearing at other drivers, switching to high beam when oncoming traffic would not lower their beams and flipping off a guy talegating me :01:

I don't think I'll have any problems passing my full test :shifty:

Me knows, but it was only my 3rd time driving and I panicked.:cry:

And as for the fine, it won't even matter because it's the 7 demerit points that's gonna be a bitch.:dry:

Good thing there's no cameras in Wal-Mart parking lots?:unsure:

It's extremely expensive here. $700 a year for me to insure my POS with a clean record. I looked at how much it would be to insure a Mustang (not that I'm gonna get one tomorrow or anything, just dreaming), and they want over $200 a month. I'm actually looking for a new car, mine is rapidly dying. Doesn't help when Jon throws it into park without braking either. :rolleyes:

you probably have a clean licence because you drive like a granny :lol:
