i personally thought that it tested alot of rules that could easily be replaced with common sense decisions at the time.
the test dosent really give you an indication of who is most likeley to not check their blind spot and change lanes into you, or who knows the exact point of adhesion of their cars tyres to the road in wet and dry conditions, and how long it takes to stop a car, and how your cars handling will be effected if you suddenly back of the acceleratior during a corner (not recommended in mid engined cars )
those things i have listed i believe to be more likley do define how bad/unsafe driver you are than if you parked 10m instead of 20m away from a traffic light
(or even if you type sms while driving occasionally )

i usually use the following process for someone going to slow
A. beep.... if this dosent work
B. beep and flash repeatedly
C. overtake them, drive infront of them at least 15kph slower than they were goin.
Or if a bus puts its indicator on and starts moving at the same time whilst pulling out infront of you when your about 3m from the back of it, slam on the breaks, pull next to driver at next stop ask the driver if he would mind putting his indicator on BEFORE he starts moving next time.
bus driver goes... i did put it on before hand, which is absolute bullshit as i was watching the bus for that very reason and i had to lock up the brakes to avoid hitting the side of the bus.
park car on angle infront of bus, cutting it off badly so the bus cant go anywhere just to prove you can be as much of a
wanker as he can. then when driver chucks it in reverse to try and get away drive off.
it made me feel better anyway, stupid dickhead

Driving tests? you youngin's....
Back in my day we didnt have driving tests, you either learnt how to drive the farm utes / tractor to the other end of the property or walked... and if something broke, you had better work out how to fix it before dinner time or you would have a very lonely nite....
Most kids drove to thier driving tests, the police werent as strict back then... those were the days.... ahhh.......

Is it just me, or did anyone else get owned on the parking questions? Why the f**k should you have to park at least 20m from a cross-walk, all this when you can park 1m from a fire hydrant? Hello, importance?

Personally, I flash my high beams when I'm starting my overtaking maneuver. It warns all the other people that there's something happening.

well i got 42 and i was pretty happy with that! yeah, the parking questions got me and what was with that one where there was a bus in a straight lane turning left and a car in the left turn lane going straight. I said both cars are at fault because they were in the wrong lanes but they said the bus was alright? anyway, it doesn't matter i am a better driver than mark skaife and wayne gardner!

What was with that? I understand that the car was in a lane designated to turn and going straight, but bus/truck whatever it was, the arrow marked on the lane said they had to go straight...or was I just not paying enough attention?

wouldnt your indicator indicate your about to overtake?
assuming the car infront is paying any attention whatsoever to you.

The problem with a lot of people that I share the F3 with in the morning is that they are completely incapable of making common sense decisions  Let alone following any road rules.
There are signs all along the way that read "keep left unless overtaking" and "slow vehicles use left lane". This generally means that one can pass 90% of cars on the left side. Brake jabbing is mandatory and even better still, drive with you left foot on the brake so that no-one can actually tell when you do decide to apply the brake.
The bird is the best hand signal invented, and your high beam is also for letting the Mc Goo driver coming in the opposite direction that his high beams are a little uncomfortable to look at.
I could go on but I like Juzzo's ideas for passing

I don't know about you guys, but I thought some of the questions were SOOO irrelevance / ambiguous, like the braking power of the truck.
I mean, what sort of truck? How loaded? What condition are the brakes in? Its like saying I have a car, how long will it take to stop (oops forgot to tell you it was an F1 car  )
lol I'm just antsy cause I only got 38

i didn't do the test but did see a few questions. i came to the following conclusions:
1) test completly irelivent to the ability to drive a car, ie not many give way questions and too much general knowledge stuff
2) somebody should have taken out and shot all those young girls who thought it was a great old laugh to have accidents when they have clearly caused them.
3)some questions were about signs i have never seen/heard of since i dont come from the sydney/melbourne metro area, this obviously makes me a bad driver!
4)WTF would that woman who won the car choose the vectra for?? surely you would have chosen the statesman, its surely the top of the range (hence most expensive)
5) i really cant stand eddy maguire!!!

Ok I guess I must of been more asleep than i thought watching this.... but I don't recall any arrows marked on the road stating the lane direction and to my knowedge large vehicles ie Trucks... are allowed to take 2 lanes to turn if the have to??
Maybe I need to go back to driving school?

I'm gonna have to do this... sorry guys,
The stateman never came out with a Gen 3 engine.... or Dvd screens. the cloest thing you'll find to a disc is the 6 disc in-dash CD changer.
It only has a 152kw 3.8 litre ECOTEC engine.. RRP $53,490
The Caprice on the other hand...
Does have DVD with LCD screens for 2 rear passengers, remote control and remote headphones.
does have a Gen 3 engine... RRP $72,990 but is also available with the 3.8lire ECOTEC engine.. RRP $68,250

Where are the vectra's/statesman's made? If the Vectra is imported and the Statesman is the locally made one, then maybe she just didn't want the hassle of changing the Statesman's brake lights and head lights that break before she even gets it home. Who wants the lady to be driving a big-arse statesman around anyway?

caprice, yeah thats the one, all i can remember is them saying it had the v8 and the dvd, i dont know about you guys but who says that yo have to keep the car, i would have asked for the most expensive one then sold it before there was 50km on the clock, 70K could go a long way towards another car.

70K for a HOlden O.O with GM running gear. You've got to be kidding. Hachi was right 70K would get you a hell of a better car.
