Going For Fulls - Dqt @ Rta Nsw

[satanic]

Well with my Green Ps soon to expire I thought it would be a good time to sit for my full liscence... so I've booked myself in for 9am tomorrow morning (gotta squeeze it into 2006).

Also just spent the last hour reading all 94 pages of that hand book - pretty self explanatory stuff (apart from the emphasis on statistics). Did all the online tests and passed...

Questions:

1) Should this be sufficient preparation?

2) How much emphasis is there on the stats in the actual test?

3) Is the DQT a lot harder than say the Greens?

4) What's the best option after you pass; 1yr or 3yrs

Thanks + wish me luck for tomorrow

i did my test few months ago. i read the booklet which was 300 pages or something bwhaha. well not read but skim read and i passed.

you should pass no probs. i got the 5 year license cuz i cbf going to the RTA.

good luck

[satanic]

Yes, unfortunately for us younger generation the RTA has turned the liscencing system into some money laundering scam... there's a total of 4 tests now (each with associated costs) before you can call yourself a "liscenced driver"

Thanks, will get the 3yr if I pass

[satanic]

EDIT - 5 year liscence sounds good

[evil_weevil]

gees lucky Im old....older...

good luck dude

from memory the final full licence test is not that hard. they do the usual trick of asking a few misleading questions, but you are allowed a couple of mistakes so dont sweat it too much. just keep reading that book right up to the time you go in for the test.

back in my day....

yeah, if you have good driving history they will let you get the 5 year gold licence. get it if it's available to you as: 1. it's cheaper, and 2. you'll get to have the same picture for 5 years. so when your 30 you'll have a pic of yourself at 25. though that may be a negative and just make you feel old.

[satanic]

You'd need a crystal clean history then right?

I've only ever been picked up once and that was for a stop sign - you think this will be "good" enough?

i remember it was piss easy, just another way to make money off us

You don't have to be perfect to get a gold license. I got mine when I had 4 demerits.

You just have to hold a full license 5 years without a suspension.

The colouring system doesnt mean anything now.

Though a lot of "older" people still think it means something, like back in the day...

It depends if you get the stats part or not. But it is best to read and learn it.

[satanic]

Aiight, cheers guys!

Doodz; my parents still think that

[d00dz]

Yea....like when I was at goulburn RSL, the dudes in there saw the "gold" licence and said "ah yea dont really need to check your ID now.."

[skylinegtts]

good luck mate..... i stilll got a fair few months to go so ill be interested to hear how u go

[lingeringsoul]

Man this sounds complicated...glad i didn't have to get through any of that

[MANWHORE]

Ok stanny boy, I am the guru on the test. If you want, give me a buzz with any questions, and i'll explain it all to you. I've pmed you my number.

But basically, the knowledge test isn't your usual road rules. They exmaine you on statistics. e.g. being a bogan makes you x times more likely to crash. Drinking while getting a blow job is x times more likely to crash.

for the other part, it's scenario based where you touch the screen. There is a catch. you have to touch the screen more than once, unlike the green p test which you only have to touch once. there is a special technique to this one.

for more info, give us a buzz.
