Yah, I think its a joke.. I havn't taken it yet, should off like 6 months ago tho..
I don't see the point of it, maybe when summer rolls around I'll go for it... Anything I should remember when taking the rest? what did you losse points on...

I hate Stop signs, i forget how far infront of them you are suppose to stop :|

[Nissanaddict]

complete stop before the sign, and then you pull forward.

Lost 50 points.

Going 70 on crowchild..... i didnt wanna speed

Going through residential... he says i was in the center lane, and didnt lane change over before i did a right turn *shrug*

Going up 17th avenue, bus stops in front of me, so i lane change around it, and back into my lane.... both lane changes were in intersections... *doh*

The only good thing about taking it, is that before i had 0 tolerance with alcohol while driving, now i am have to stay under the legal limit .08. So basically, before, if i had a beer or two on wing night, i would have to wait 2 hours after before i could legally drive... now i can go home right away!

I *hate* that "rule" for the test...signalling left after making a right-hand turn...argh...

The only thing I lost points for was for driving down the ruts in the ice/snow on a residential crescent, which are in the center of the road, thus lost points for straddling the center line

Its not illegal to change lanes in an intersection though so why would you loose points for it?

Basically its just a longer version of the drivers test then? Shouldn't be too hard.

LOL you think 100 some bux is bad? Try getting a license in Europe or in Japan. It's 10 times as expensive. Getting a license in this country is a Joke IMO.

[soupey]

when i did the test (b4 the whole gdl nonsense) i only lost 10 pts for not stopping b4 getting out of the parking lot, i did try to stop but it was slippery and the exit from the parking lot was downhill, my wheels slipped and i ended up just continuing on, thats all i had wrong tho=)

sounds like you turned from the "center" lane then, which in residental isnt too bad but....i find it pretty annoying when people do NOT pull over to turn right cause then I cannot easily go around their slow turning ass.

while not a big deal, its good practice to pull to the right when turning, might save getting rear ended but will definately make others (me) happy

Unless the driving laws in Alberta are different than Saskatchewn, changing lanes in an intersection is illegal.

No it's not illegal but it's not safe. If it were illegal he would have failed the test.

.....so u take that test after the 2 year probation crap?
