Guest redbaron51 Report post Posted June 19, 2003 Why. Its the retarted, graduating system that they have. First you got to take a written test which is 100 bones. Fail and pay another 10. Then take driving school and shell out another 400 dollars, but lowers insurance. Then wait 8 months till you can take your test. Fail, fork out 40 more bones, and a longer waiting time. This is my complaint. Its the people who test you. Complete assholes, with a whole bitchy attitude. Here's one. "Colour of the car" "Some kind of weird blue, maybe teal." "Colour of the car please!" And they are nit-picky on your flaws too. I mean, I couldn't switch lanes, unless they wanted me to hit parked cars, where they aren't suppose to be parked, or taking up two lanes. (which is why i failed) And also if you pass. You gotta wait another year to get the full license, which that is 88 bones to throw out to the governement instead. What a bunch of corrupt assholes they are. For a first time G2 Test, 80% is going to fail Second time 10% will fail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest treble charged Report post Posted June 19, 2003 I failed my test the first time I took it, too, but it was pretty much my fault. I didn't like forking out tons of money to learn to drive, but otherwise I like the graduated system, as most people probably aren't ready to be out driving by themselves on freeways as soon as they get their liscense (even if they think they are). I sure as hell don't want to be driving down the 401 and see some dumbass who's had their liscense for all of 3 minutes going 120, trying to figure out how the adjust their seat. This is probably the one thing that Harris did while he was in power that I actually liked. But yeah, the people who work at the Ministry of Transportation (especially the guy I had to take my test with) are assholes, but that's not limited to Ontario.

Guest Mik at Cornell Report post Posted June 19, 2003 I think the lesson in this situation is don't be a failure. No just kidding. I'll take this opportunity to tell a funny story of when I got my liscence about 5 years ago. I was pulling out to drive on the road from the DMV and this soccer mom with about three kids hanging off her just starts laying on the horn...from about, no lie, a 1 minute drive away. And I remember thinking, shit, I'm nowhere near this lady but I failed now. So I just go through the motions and get back, and I'm expecting the guy to look at me and be like, "sorry junior." But he just looks and me and says, "Don't worry about that woman. She should be the one in here taking the test." And I passed. What a sweet sweet moment. Redbaron, just think how that money is going to good use... and on the bright side where's the crime in Canada? You got that going for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest redbaron51 Report post Posted June 19, 2003 you won't like this TC. In law, I forget who it was, but it wasn't suppose to be like this, and this long. It was suppose to be only 5 months for G2, but a full year for a G, and you weren't suppose to fork out this much money. I do agree with it, but when it comes to nit-picking...i hate it. Though i told off the driving instructor, that she's a hypocritcal anal bitch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Hogan Made Wrestling Report post Posted June 20, 2003 Mike Harris has fucked over that province beyond repair. As for BC, things are still pretty good right now, but I'll just say I'm glad I will be out of here before Campbell can finish completely fucking this province over.

Guest mach7 Report post Posted June 25, 2003 British Columbia is nice and if you are a skilled labourer then you can get a job fairly easy. Yeah, especially Vancouver, where the unemployment rate matches the cost of living. That is, they're both ridiculously high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
