British Expats - Moved: Question on 90 day driving rule.

Looking over my right shoulder just before turning right, that was the only bit of the test that I really had to concentrate on remembering. I guess it's just not a natural reaction for us folk who were used to driving on the other side of the road. I also still have a bit of a habit of leaning into the middle of the car and looking over my left shoulder when reversing, so if you find yourself pointing and laughing at someone doing this, it's probably me you're laughing at :o

And what's up with the eye test device at the test centre? When you look in, it's like crossing your eyes while looking at a primitive attempt at computer 3D. Your natural reaction is to blink one eye closed (to make sure the thing didn't just blind you) and you see everything quite clearly....

No-one asked us either about the 90-day thing although we took our test just within the time limit. We owned our own car and no way did we want a 'get out clause' for the insurance company if we had a accident.

Our NS driving test was simple. 2 x 40 multiple choice questions, then on another day we had a 10 minute driving test..... straight ahead, turn right, turn left a few times ....... then back to the test centre where I had to reverse park into a parking slot (no parallel parking) - simple! Instructor told me that he had never failed a UK driver. You get to keep your UK drivers license too.

Here is the NS Drivers handbook

Wishing you all the very best for your landing :thumbsup:
