I'm finding it really easy to learn in an Automatic, it's so much easier

C&R

Wendy I am having lessons too! also automatic, mainly due to finances, thought it would take less lessons etc. I'm with the RACV.

Maple Leaf

just thought..check out the exchange licence thingy from between your country and australia..i know here in Canada..people have had to do the re-testing thing..in some provinces.in Canada...just a heads up...

Wendy

In South Australia there are two ways to learn. One is to have lessons then take a VORT (Vehicle On Road Test), which is like a test in the UK.

Or we can do 'Log Book' (competency based training), where you need 50 hours of driving experience with a 'qualified' driver. A qualified driver is anyone who has held a full driving licence, with no demerit points for two years. You then need an accredited driving instructor to sign off the book.

I'm going the second way, because I can get my OH to teach me (in my new Barina I've just bought for learning in ), then I will only need about 5 - 10 lessons to get everything signed off.

Wendy

UK (and a few other countries) licence holders just do a straight swap, they changed it all last year (or may be the year before, time's going so fast I can't keep up! )

Im glad am no learning there....I dont need to do any logbook stuff....I dont think lol

Wendy

You don't have to do the logbook, you can just have normal lessons (with anyone, so long as they have a licence) then pass a test. But I don't like tests

biggy

I dont like tests either....but I dont like forking out money either hehe

I surprised myself when I went out for the first time the other day hadnt been behind the wheel in over 15 years(apart from when I have been cleaning the bloody car haha) I was driving hubbys Ford Falcon its a big bugger....and I got on brill...even he was well surprised how well I drove....even parked and reversed out.....and went round a big scarey roundabout lol Automatics are a skoosh aint they

Wendy

Yes, they are great aren't they. My OH has a falcon too...I've had a go in it, but it's got sports suspension and racing spoilers so not only do you have to watch the length of the car, you've got to watch all the bumps in the bloody road

biggy

bugger that lol my OH is a works car.......so no worries there lol

Remember to park in the direction of traffic.

Wendy

and don't park too close to a driveway (even if it's your own)

Don't forget that Australians are probably the worst drivers in the world and drive very slowly and dangerously.
The have 3 times the fatal accident rate of civilised countries.
