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 :O

Thanks + wish me luck for tomorrow :P

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 >_<

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. >_<

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.

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?

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.

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.

    • hello! does anyone have a schematic that shows how to test the blower motor resistor for the vac system? i believe the part# is 27761-15U00. I think the resistor is toast, but would like to be able to test it somehow before i embark on the journey to find a new one. cheers! 27761-15U00
    • I don't know the answer to this, but did you have a look at the parts diagrams on amayama.com and see what they list around it for your car? As an example this should be it on my car. That's how I would check for required clips and things like that. But, I take no responsibility for you ending up with a box full of random OEM hoses, washers and clips after going down that path a few times. This definitely has never happened to me  
    • Most driving should* be done on one side of single lane divided roads. In the RHD world, you drive on the left side of the dividing line and the road is probably cambered equally on both sides. So your side of the road slopes away to the left. The same is true for the LHD world, just everything swapped to the other side and opposite slope. With a perfectly neutral, straight ahead wheel alignment designed to drive straight on a perfectly flat surface (or at least one that is level on the left-right axis, even if it has some slope in the fore-aft axis) you will not be able to drive on a cambered road without the car wanting to drift down the camber. You will need to add steering input in the opposite direction all the time. This is annoying. The solution has always been to set the camber and/or the caster to produce a continuous turning force in the opposite direction of the camber. The car will drive straight on the kind of camber for which it was set up, presumably as described in the top paragraph. But.... when the car is set up this way, as soon as you get into a lane, usually on a multi-lane surface road or highway, where the camber is not as presumed during setup, the car will usually pull to one side. In the RHD world, if you are in the fast lane on a big divided road, you are probably on the opposite camber compared to what the car was set up for (ie, sloping down to the right) and the combination of the setup and that camber will make the car want to go right pretty hard. Even a perfectly flat lane will tend to want to go right. There's no getting around it. Civil engineers who know their stuff (which is not an assumption that can always be made) will attempt to keep the variation in camber across a multi-lane road as small as possible, and if they can will attempt to make the fast lane as close to flat, or even cambered in the same direction as all the other lanes. This takes a lot of planning for drainage, control of levels, ability to deal with the elevation changes that occur at road junctions, etc etc. So it's not trivial to get it right. When they do make it work, then the annoyance is reduced, along with tyre wear, fuel consumption, etc. In theory, the civil engineers are supposed to worry about those aspects of road design also. * This used to be true, but now with very large highway systems, even just multi-lane surface roads running everywhere, it is less true now than it was, but the old assumption is the basis for describing the phenomenon, so let's just run with it for the moment.
    • I think the consensus was that's normal. Sloped road surfaces or something? I remember @silviaz went through this before. It might be one of those things you never notice until you pay attention to it.
    • Im not entirely sure exactly what or where its leaking from, he started to pull the boots to swap to my new tie rods + ends and it just vomited fluid, so he closed em up up, swapped the rod ends to the old rods and let me know so I can figure a solution out, im guessing its all origional as as I passed 103k miles earlier this year im sure its just in need of a full overhual/rebuild anyways.    If i could just yank it off and be good it wouldn't be an issue to ship it out and wait for the turnaround but the guy I work with doesnt really have space to keep my car for a week or two at a time, would rather drop it off and have a replacement ready to drop in
