Default iv arrived

well il try and keep this update short......lol
well iv been in saskatoon for just over a week now i finnaly managed to track down some cheap accomadation which is shared but its cheaper than living in hotels. then i even managed to buy a car so i can run around in.
i had to go resit 3 of the written tests as i screwed up by not reading all of the books. if ur going for test here just read the books then go and sit all 7 tests it is alot easier once uv studied!!!!!!!!but i did get 100% on my airbrakes.
now its down to training instructors are saying im just about ready and prob wed/thurs but will see how things go. im trying to master the s turns which are a b**ch as if u dont start at the right time u screw it up.
but iv just about managed to master 18 speed just have to show it whos boss in a nice way but be too bossy and she will snap lol or not bossy enough and ul be lost in a bucket of cogs and gears.
here is a little tip dont let sgi validate ur licence as you can drive on uk for 90 days as long as ur training.
then iv heard that I dont need to hand over my uk licence and i get to keep it.
il hopefully up date u all soon

Yep, still got my UK licence, although Wyoming did void my Saskatchewan licence when I got my American licence.
Good luck with your test and say hello to Billy for me if that's the examiner you get.

7 written (computerised) tests (1-5 + airbrakes and signs).
Move into the curb then back out prior to a right turn to prevent vehicles moving up your right side as you turn.
SGI = Saskatchewan Government Insurance. (driving test centers, licenceing etc etc).
