Hope and pray that you pass this time!

Few jokes to help you fail --- I mean relax! :P

How to fail your Driving Test

1. Turn the radio on. When the tester goes to turn it off slap his/her hand.

2. Rev the car really high, turn to the tester, and say with an evil look, "Buckle up!"

3. Knock over every cone while doing maneuverability. In the middle of it, get out and check to see if you have hit every one.

4. Come dressed in a suit. Before the examiner gets in the car, ask him/her to put a piece of plastic wrap down so he doesn't dirty the seat.

5. When the examiner tells you to stop, step on the gas. Tell him/her that you thought it was the brake.

6. When the examiner tells you to stop, pop the hood clutch and say "Oops."

7. Get in the car, look down at the pedals, and say, "Now which one is the gas again?"

8. After the examiner gets in the car, pop the hood, and get out and check the oil.

9. Fill your car with beer bottles.

10. The whole time driving, talk about how Aunt Gertrude smells like mothballs.

11. Tell the registrar that you are taking the remedial test.

12. In the middle of driving, put your arm around the examiner.

13. Swear at everybody on the road.

14. When you stop at a light, start revving the engine while looking back and forth between the person next to you and the light.

15. Beep your horn at everything.

16. Break off your rear-view mirror and then ask the examiner to hold it up.

Failed G driving test !

so yeah i failed it again on second attempt :sami

but hey atleast i can say i`ve got another chance to try...
on a side note THIS IS ALL CONSPIRACY AND FRAUD TO RIP POOR PEOPLE`S MONEY I TELL U! :ibutt
 
Did you try that trick where you take the test in one of smaller sub-urbs. That seems to work for some people.
 
well in my first attempt i did every thing right. Parallel parcking, back parking, three point etc; but on our way back while taking left turn (was nervous as a batsman in nervous 90`s) i ran over the pedestrian path -.-

this time i did not payattention on my speed and i was driving 70km/h, 65 km/h and 60 km/h on 40km/h zone on three different ocassions ;( ..... i was too much focusing on watching the mirror and blind spots.

although i failed G "2" times now but got G2 at first shot. here is wat i did

- watch the mirrrors front and rear every 10 secs. and yes i counted

-always and always while making left trun signal, watch blind spot and then turn.

- keep an eye on speeed. if u go through residential area do not go over 40km/h no matter wat. Trust me i have learnt my lesson.

-always complete stop on red light while u r makign right turn.

- while making righ turn on green signal do not rush; wait n turn.

Not to gloat, but how then do you explain us first time pass-ers?

It's ok though because unlike other exams, you can do this as many times as you want. Only downside is the cost, which at my time about 4 years ago was £100 per test. Not sure if it's still that much now.

hehe, thanks for the tips but I already have a G2 so I do know a bit about driving. I passed mine on my second attempt though i only made one mistake but it was a major one. I was supposed to pull out of a front-end parking and in my nervousness i put the gear in drive instead of reverse..lol and almost hit the pole in front. Anyhoo, i'm just wondering how different is G test from G2?

I know they make you drive on the highway but is that all? What other areas do they judge you on?

they more focus on G-2 standard issues such as speed, watching mirrors n blind spot etc. Once you enter the highway they ask you to change lane and then go back as you are suppose to make the very first exit as you have to go back to the center.
 
bribe the guy taking you :butt all you need to do is when he is seated ask him to open the glove box you need to get out some "licensing papers". Deal is done, you drive around a bit, drop him off and take a photo. Proceed to drive off into the sunset :thebob
 
Primarily posted to detail my struggles with driving as a newbie- which started with a session today, but others can also express their ease or misery on this too.
 
Driving is easy... Even though I'm still relatively new. :msd
Specially cars with automatic transmission are extremely easy to drive. :moyo
 
You learn your driving when you drive on the main road in traffic, and you dont learn to drive properly unless you hit your car because you learn from your mistakes.
 
Driving is not difficult. I have an auto Honda. Its just like in a game but you just not be rash while driving. Keep the speed in check. Learn to watch mirrors after time to time. Dont try to be a badass, its only good for the movies and games. Wear a seatbelt if you can.

Sure is man- but if you learn with manual then you can drive any car anywhere in the world- without breaking into a sweat or fretting about it...

Just saying- get the basics strong
 
I learned by practicing in Walmart parking lot a decade ago. Then I went for License and failed miserably. Then I failed 1 more time before I got my license. Then I did not drive for the next 2 yrs. But I had the license.

When I tried to drive again, it felt completely new. But I still tried. I used to stay on right most lane and drive at no more than 30MPH. Did that for a couple of days and slowly changed lanes when the streets were pretty much empty at night. Practiced that for a week and after that it felt easy.
I smile when I think about those days. But I pretty much learned everything by myself.

The closest call I had when learning was when I had my car in reverse (I did not realize that) and hit the accelerator pedal hard and the car went backwards at 30 mph for about 40 feet. My heart was in my mouth. Luckily, there was no one behind. I cursed myself real bad and drove home like a chicken.

Dang much harded to get a license in the UK! have to take classes!
 
I had my first accident a year after I learned how to drive. In a parking lot. I put the gas on instead of the brake, and my car went down the slope and hit a parked truck. It happened too soon before I realized what I had done. An old man came shouting and said hey that's my truck. I assured him that I will pay for the damages. He said of course you have to pay. He tried to be friendly and asked which country I was from. Not wanting to bring disrepute to my beloved country, I told him that I am from a neighboring country. The cops turned up within 5 minutes, and they were joking that such sort of accidents in the parking lot are common among girls. Such an embarrassing accident to have. Would have been better had I hit a truck on the road.

The funny thing is, the Driving test result depends on who is administering Test. There was this old white man who was very strict. If he was the one administering the test, it was very hard to satisfy him. He finds so many mistakes in our driving and you will feel like total sheet once he tells you the result and the mistakes we did.

There is also a young black lady. She never used to take us on main roads and ask us to change lanes. It was pretty simple test if she is there. She gave Licenses to many of my friends and room mates.

Tests in the UK are much stricter think you get allowed 15 minors- but make one major and you fail and worse is they dont tell you till the 30 min test is over- take you on the road, roundabouts, manuevers (3 point turn or parallel parking or reversing into a curb).

I flunked 3 times, but touchwood since passing not 1 incident or near escape ever- this is driving in London
 
i never drove an auto, wonder what it feels like

Its actually quite similar to manual as i have driven both. Its just you dont strain your feet and mind about pressing clutch break clutch break!

But i guess its all down to personal preference. I prefer cars with cruise control because that with auto transmission is a godsend heaven.

There are very few cars with cruise control in pakistan however.
 
Major said:
Whats cruise control
Click to expand...
Using this feature the car maintains motion at a constant speed by itself- so there is no need to press on the accelerator. Very useful and convenient when driving on empty highways with high speed limits
 
You're not a true desi if you cannot drive. Driving for us is like basketball for black people, we have to be good and show off our skills.

The funny side to the story is that most desis suck at driving properly under the law. We are notorious for failing driving exams.

All the BMWs i have driven have this thing that it can be driven on both auto and manual. That really solves the issue. :afridi :yk

That's referred to as a semi automatic transmission its much different than a actual manual transmission. Its obvious you have never driven a manual car and are feeling less manly after hearing the truth about automatic cars. Learn to drive stick if you want any respect from fellow men.
 
I don't go automatic even with my video-games. Makes me feel like a naqli racer. :mj
 
The difference between auto and manuel is that every qala and **** can drive an auto but only a few know how to drive a manuel.
 
Driving is easy, and fun (since I only recently started driving). But it's a totally unproductive use of our times.

I can't wait until all we have is self-driving cars. Imagine all the extra time that frees up during our daily commute. I visualize that day when I sit in the back of my self-driving car, and just take a nap/read/call sitting there.
 
I'm all up for auto - only because it's one step closer towards less work while driving.

Yeah, its called a Dual Clutch transmission and from what i have heard its better than the manual because you have full control without the worry of clutch break. Wow. Someone is being very judgemental here. :)

Dear sire, i learnt my car on a manual mehran if you are asking? I have driven a manual santro, cuore, Gli and an audi.

What truth about the automatic cars again? :/
Sorry man, i dont earn respect through my car's transmission. I am not insecure about my manliness. If thats what you try to prove everyday you drive your car then good day to you sire. :)

You are absolutely wrong about that. But then how would you know. You were just recently asking about how to pass a driving test.

My cousin bought a dual clutch because she finds manual cars hard. But I ain't say nothing.

I find them hard as well as i mentioned before because you have to consistently keep an eye on the break clutch thingy. Its just that i want driving to be more fun rather than some war with feet. :)) With Dual clutch you actually have the fun of the control of gears in your hands but also the benefit of not having to worry about clutch break. M3 is a breeze. <3

Except it's a nightmare on hills. When you stop your car, you have to use a handbreak to avoid stalling.

Oh, i dont have any experience of that. Never driven on a hill. I live in pakistan so. :afaq

I think just pushing the gear to P will do the job, no?

On an automatic. And I'm not sure the car doesn't roll.

On a manual, you can press the race while holding the clutch up and your car won't roll.

Yep, on an automatic just push the gear to P and the car will stall.

On manual, you have to use your both feet and all that.

Also, there is this L gear which can be used to climb hills with more ease. Used it in Muree once.

True, manual is not fun in traffic. But, for leisure, it's better.
