Provisional Driving Test


Recommended Posts

Guest jimmyd17

hey ppls,

im from victoria and will be shortly moving to adelaide. i'll be doing my provisional practical driving test. i have done my P's test in victoria, but due to a disqualification, i had to regain my L's here which is a bit of a joke, but anyway. i rang up mitcham driving school and went to book in. i was told i should book some lessons in case things are done differently in SA to VIC and that its fairly strict getting ur P's in SA... the P's test in VIC was rediculously easy in my opinion.. i worked as a courier fo 2 years and did over 100,000kms of driving, not including over 200 hours on my L's before that.. so i wouldnt say im an inexperienced driver at all.. is it necissary to get lessons for techinical points because i just cant justify spending an extra 50 bux on 'learning' how to drive... whats involved in the test itself.. might be a silly question but im just looking for some advice on the actual process of the test in SA so i know what to expect..

thanks,

James

lol, ok thanks for that.. yeh i reckon theres some pretty stupid laws in VIC too... in victoria the learners written test is harder than the whole P's test, and the learners test in VIC is easier than the SA learners. so just wondering if the P's test is actually so strict in SA, or is it a piece of piss like VIC? :P

Bad habbits are a killer. :rofl:

Get your L's. (Sample tests here) http://www.raa.net/page.asp?TerID=192

Do the above link several times as every time you do it you get different examples.

If you get any give ways wrong you will instantly fail.

Then you can only get 11 (I think) out of 40 wrong.

I'm willing to put money on it that you will fail the multiple choice section. :D

Then do the test. You won't need a driving lesson. Just make sure you know the rules.

EDIT: Looks like you already have your L's here in SA. :D

hey, yep... i passed the L's in SA on tuesday first pop, 39 out of 42 for multiple choice :P... how on earth would u know i already got my L's in SA? - LOL. thanks for that Joel... i'll be booking the driving test for P's in a week or so hopefully so i won't bother with any lessons. now i'm a bit clearer of how the test works :( cheers

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
