welshjerichomark Posted February 15, 2005 Report Posted February 15, 2005 msn messenger is playing up and i had to tell people! yay it was my third attempt and ive never been so shit scared in my life um thats all
Nighthawk Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 Hey that's great. You know, the first time I took a driving test I crashed into another car pulling out of the parking space.
AboveAverage484 Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 I failed my driver's test the first time I took it because when he told me to do a three-point road turn I just pulled into someone's driveway and turned around instead.
CBright7831 Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 I nearly ran over my driving teacher. I thought she was going to fail me. Thank God she didn't. I passed.
Guest The Shadow Behind You Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 I always hear horror stories about this but maybe im just a total dick but these driving tests aren't open heart surgery. You drive, follow the laws, turn when the instructer tells you; do a very simple Paraell parking or manuverbility routine which you shouldn't even have to pratice. I passed with a perfect score which was nice because that got me a refund from driving school. It's a great thing to pass; so congrats but i'll never get the horror stories at all.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 Congrats I guess. How much do you Brits have to pay for insurance? (Might as well cover both threads)...
TheFranchise Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 Congrats I guess. How much do you Brits have to pay for insurance? (Might as well cover both threads)... Way too much. Edit: As if to say, I don't know exactly.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 Well of course -- I doubt anyone would say they don't pay enough insurance. I pay about $450/year, but I'm old and get senior discounts, unlike you young whippersnappers...
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 My insurance rates are satanic.
sfaJack Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 Well of course -- I doubt anyone would say they don't pay enough insurance. I pay about $450/year, but I'm old and get senior discounts, unlike you young whippersnappers... $450 a year?? Damn, what company do you have? I pay that for 6 months and I'm approaching old man status.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 Geico -- I also have all the cheap coverage. If anyone wrecks my '88 Corsica they can have it...
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 I'm the kind of person that needs full coverage. Plus my bank requires it for me to keep my loan for the fucker. It's something like $662 every six months. I don't even know any more. I've only had one wreck, too.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 The better half needs full coverage for her car, which she bought new. I'm a cheap bastard, thus the lower rate. Oh, and I've never had an accident because I drive like an old man...
2GOLD Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 My car insurance is low, bout 65 a month. Congrats on passing, I was lucky enough to have a driving teacher who told us if we didn't wreck the car then we pass. Didn't wreck, got the pass.
welshjerichomark Posted February 16, 2005 Author Report Posted February 16, 2005 I'm insured on my mother's 2003 1l Toyota Yaris and it cost £550 per year. If i had my own car it would be nearer £1000. Insurance is a scandal man, especially if your a 17 year old (and worse if you're a guy)
welshjerichomark Posted February 16, 2005 Author Report Posted February 16, 2005 How long do tests last in the US? over here its about 35-45 minutes depending on routes. And what does it consist off?
Guest Failed Mascot Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 what does it consist of? running over as many small mammals and elderly people as you can within a 15min time period.
alfdogg Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 I was paying about $56 for insurance until I got my new car, then I had to switch to full coverage and now I'm paying like $276 a month.
Red Baron Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 Fuck all of you, seriously. I pay $275 a month for an 84 Parisenne
Guest Vitamin X Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 I'm the kind of person that needs full coverage. Plus my bank requires it for me to keep my loan for the fucker. It's something like $662 every six months. I don't even know any more. I've only had one wreck, too. Mine does too, but they didn't even notice when I was driving around without insurance for a bit (long bit too, probably a good 6-8 months, and another 6 months later on.. As long as they get paid, they don't give a shit unless you get into an accident and you expect to be absolved of paying for the car or something. I pay $108 a month for mine for 6 months, 2 months off. Student discount and all. 1999 Chevy Tracker, convertible.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted February 17, 2005 Report Posted February 17, 2005 Insurance is a scandal man, especially if your a 17 year old (and worse if you're a guy) That's because you young'ins are the ones that always get into the accidents. When you get into your mid-20s your rates are supposed to drop if you have a decent record. I never noticed. How long do tests last in the US? The actual driving part was about 5-10 minutes. The actual wait at the DMV surrounded by the underclass -- too long to remember...
Ted the Poster Posted February 17, 2005 Report Posted February 17, 2005 By underclass, he of course means "Mexicans". We all see right through you, kkk.
2GOLD Posted February 17, 2005 Report Posted February 17, 2005 Wow, I've got full coverage and I'm still only paying $63 a month. I KNEW those mob connections would come in handy!
kkktookmybabyaway Posted February 17, 2005 Report Posted February 17, 2005 By underclass, he of course means "Mexicans". No. Mexicans are just Mexicans. The underclass pretty much includes all races. Besides, you think Mexicans get legit driver licenses?...
DCMaximo Posted February 18, 2005 Report Posted February 18, 2005 UK insurance prices are pretty steep. I paid £1150 in September on my Renault 5, but then I had only passed my test in January. Still a nightmare to afford on my lowly £5.50 p/h wage
Mystery Eskimo Posted February 18, 2005 Report Posted February 18, 2005 The insurance companies are laughing at you all. Everyone should boycott them and just settle who pays for accidents with a fist fight.
Guest Salacious Crumb Posted February 19, 2005 Report Posted February 19, 2005 I hate my insurance company. I have to pay a horrible amount just because I bought a new car when I was 17. 7 years later and they're still charging me like I own a new car.
Jingus Posted February 19, 2005 Report Posted February 19, 2005 Driving tests mostly depend on the individual instructor. Some will take you out for a 5-minute trip and pass you as long as you don't directly cause any accidents. Others will ride your ass for an hour while looking for any possible excuse to fail you. It's mostly just luck.
