Well done.

I find it interesting that someone can make over 1000 posts on the "The Subaru Impreza and Performance Car Community" when they dont even drive :s

Scooby96 15 January 2004 03:33 PM

imlach 15 January 2004 03:36 PM

Goochie 15 January 2004 03:41 PM

MooseRacer_1 15 January 2004 03:44 PM

Well done Poor Guy



I echo ajm's thoughts about driving in, or near, Bristol :D

chaos. 15 January 2004 04:18 PM

Well done.
How many lessons did you have?

Think its about time I gave it another go..

Poor Guy 15 January 2004 04:24 PM

bout 30 odd but thats because i couldnt book my test earlier.


I was minored because my instructor has always told me to have my left mirror pointed at the kurb so i can see when manouvering.
i was minored because i couldnt see behind me in that mirror when coming off of roundabouts, even though i checked my blindspot everytime.

chaos. 15 January 2004 04:28 PM

You mean you had 30 lessons since you did your last test to this one?!

I've not got that sort of money:(

I hate driving tests.

Poor Guy 15 January 2004 04:36 PM

no, no. i had 2 double lessons after a month after the 1st time.

since my last test ive spent £96 which i did for overkill to know i would pass.

chaos. 15 January 2004 04:46 PM

It doesn't matter how much I spend on them, I still don't pass the fvkker:D

And to be honest Im running out of test centres
At least im good at something..

..failing driving tests:D

edit - My m8 just txted me, he failed his test today.. poor bugger.

Poor Guy,

Well done and just take it easy for a while - remember that you never stop learning depsite the fact you have a driving license - well at least I don't anyway. :D


The words "Well Done" are sticking in imlach's throat!
A tenner says he can't say it without some sort of jibe :D :D

tiggers.

imlach 15 January 2004 05:19 PM

Well done!
You managed it 2nd time :)

weapon69 15 January 2004 05:28 PM

Well done Poor Guy. Glad to hear you passed with so little minors.:)

imlach 15 January 2004 05:29 PM

Agreed.

Well done on your non-perfect pass :)

Poor Guy 15 January 2004 07:31 PM

thank you. ;)

just stay away from Doncaster if you like your panels in good condition.

I was minored because my instructor has always told me to have my left mirror pointed at the kurb so i can see when manouvering.
WTF! That sounds like a load of crap to me. Far more important to be able to see out of it when you're driving (like >95% of the time) and hence going fast (i.e. bigger potential accident) than when you're manoeuvring slowly. And you can always adjust it.

I used to check my blind spot every time I went onto a motorway. But since getting the TVR I've found out you can actually see less over your shoulder than you can out of the driver's side mirror :rolleyes:

Poor Guy 15 January 2004 10:07 PM

mmmmmmmmmm. my thoughts were exactly that the 1st time i was told i should have my mirror pointed down.

UFO 15 January 2004 10:49 PM

I agree with Carl, but, when I set the mirrors on a car I try to make a compromise between seeing back down the road and down to the curb for parking etc. (however after you've been driving a little while you'll get to know the angles and technique and wouldn't need to have a direct view of the curb). :)

At the end of the day mirrors are there you help you and others around you, if you knocked someone off a bike on your driving test I'm certain you would fail! Better to curb an alloy than take a life :(

Having thought about it a little more, your instructor really shouldn't be telling you do something that will get you a minor :rolleyes: Maybe you should tell him he's wrong - get a refund ;)

Congratulations

UFO

carl 15 January 2004 11:00 PM

If you've got electric mirrors (I know you won't have on a GT6) it isn't much effort to drop the passenger side one down to show the kerb when parking anyway. As UFO says, it only takes a few weeks to learn all the angles for your particular car.

tiggers 16 January 2004 01:05 AM


Well done! You managed it 2nd time
Nice one imlach - that's so close I'm going to give it to you.:D

tiggers.

Poor Guy 16 January 2004 07:52 PM
