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

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
