Re: So... What's cheaper, whats more expensive?

Yeah, well parkways are much more dangerous than interstates! :nod: Two lanes of traffic barreling along a single lane width of road. :eek:

Re: So... What's cheaper, whats more expensive?

Re: So... What's cheaper, whats more expensive?

The OP should bear in mind that in the US you can make multiple failures in your...

Re: So... What's cheaper, whats more expensive?

Re: So... What's cheaper, whats more expensive?

The test is an utter joke, about ten minutes and so long as you stop at the Stop signs, and don't actually kill someone, you get a license. You can take the test in an automatic, I took mine in a...

Re: So... What's cheaper, whats more expensive?

Neither, you need to obtain a US license, and fairly quickly - IIRC you only have 30 days after taking up residence in NY ..... but you have five hours of mandatory classroom training, and a road...

Re: So... What's cheaper, whats more expensive?
