yep, can quite believe it.

Remember if the car in front has left enough braking room between them and the car in front of them, overtake them and use that wasted space for yourself. It'll gain you at least 1.47 seconds on your journey.

If there is a car at the traffic lights, always use the other lane (even if you don't want to be in it.) Then do a formula 1 start simply to get in front. Again, gaining roughly 1.52 seconds.

Make sure you drive with dip beam AND fog lights on during the day but don't worry about the blown brake light fuse.

Either she found you extremely attractive and this was a one off or she's in the wrong job.

Call me old fashioned but I believe from a safety point of you thats outrageous!

I think in the UK there is a computer involved and the driver sits in a booth, alone, which seems to be a better system to me...

She could probably see my car did not have a loud exhaust, or even louder rap (crap) music emanating from it and I don't do burn outs because I think it makes me look good.
If you want to drive like a Kiwi put a set of blinkers on and take the mirrors off your car.

Hehe - passed my test *today*, wont tell how many I got wrong but the kid in the next booth seemed to fail the theory, then his dad (well looked like it) paid for a resit then and there he was redoing it whilst I swanned through mine. Got the little temporary licence chit now , just in time to ask Mr Thrifty if it counts as a real licence, or I have to hand over the wheel to Mrs L in the last week of our hols??
As far as normal behaviour goes -- dont forget the queue doesn't apply to me one - saw one guy just go to other side of road and run the red light at speed, another guy drive his 4x4 off the New World car park via the grass verge and pavement and the bin (ie skip) lorry just drive onto the other side of the road so he could get past the line of traffic turning left and then veer over the rubble on the median into the ightturn lane - that was all in the first month here, now don't even notice! Great eh?

then complain about the 5cents per litre tax to improve public transport..............
sheesh if they just backed off the gas a bit at the lights every JAFA would be 5 cents a litre better off!!!!

Be meticulous with your journey planning. If you will be performing a right hand turn manouver at any point, then GET IN LANE NOW. You may not have another opportunity during the course of the next 38 kilometers.

Use seismic strapping on that dead pig . EQ-IQ. That's someones windscreen behind you.

You need to be totally oblivious to any other road users..... you must be rude and never courteous.... your car must have a huge fat exhaust pipe and sound like a dragster..... you must never acknowledge people who give way to you..... you must never give way to anybody or any other car.

..... and I agree with you... you must tootle along country roads at 20k under the limit and then speed up along the passing places so nobody can get past!

Sorry to bump this back up, but saw this on the front page of the Dom Post's website: Crappy motorists return from hols I guess the Kapiti area is really popular, or at least a lot of people drive through it.

Where do you live and what colour and make of car....hmmm isnt the whole idea of the test to test your knowledge?

karonious

I used the link that has already been mentioned and did the test many, many times on-line. At the beginning, I couldn't pass but as time wore on, I was consistently passing. But you do need a copy of the road-code beside you as the photos in the on-line test don't seem to pick up the colour of the traffic lights so is a bit deceiving. Suffice to say, I passed 100%. Well worth the time and trouble to look at

lardyl

other way is to get hold of a copy of the Road Code which has all of the questions in it - about 250 or so for the car theory test. Just get those blue car ones and the specialist ones down "pat" and you should be "sweet as"

tease

and you must pull out of side roads onto the main road without looking - i just left 10 foot of rubber on the road!!
