you failed the drivers test?

dude I thought I was a great driver; but I passed the first time by 1 point. Still it is pretty funny your stoned *** failed TWICE!!

Keaponlaffen

I passed the New Driver's test with 1.5 demerits... the first time... BEAT THAT BIATCH!

Just joshin' ya man... don't worry, you'll pass eventually.

And for all you yanks or non-Brisith Columbians out there, the BC lisencing system is really tough. Our FIRST road test (we have to take two) is tougher than your only one, and the second one is even harder. The first one has a fail rate of something like 74% or something stupid like that...

Suparslinc

yeah and you think you have big forearms or some ****...LOL

Keaponlaffen

I have average sized forearms? for a 17 year-old... haha

Fennix_sr

we dont even go by demerits anymore man, all they have to do is tell you sory you didnt make it...

and if you think im some retarded stoner, you dont know me man... i love my pot but i get **** done ... and i dont talk **** to other forum members...
and if you knew me you would know i know how to control and drive a vehicle its just the bullshit test they put you through.

Keaponlaffen

yeah, if you make a "Dangerous action" (running a red, illegal lane change, etc), it's an automatic fail. Otherwise you can have 3 demerits in any section (3 sections) before you fail. If you have 3 demerits in any of the 3 sections, you fail.

The sections are like Vehicle control, Pre-trip (hand signals, etc), and Overall Handling or something stupid like that.


It USED to be like 40 demerits or something


My only demerits were all half demerits. One was for following distance ( I was at like 1.5 seconds instead of 2), lane position (he wanted me to drive in the middle of the two lanes in a park area where cars were parked on both sides of the road, just in case someone opened their door), and the other one was for stopping too far back from an intersection.

I would suggest taking some ICBC-approved driving lessons It helped me out a lot

Geez... Here in Quebec they changed the rules a few years ago, it's a little more strict, but nowhere near that..

You *used* to be able to take just a driving test when you were 16, and if you passed, you could drive.

Now when you're 16 you take a long written test (badly translated from french if you take it in english)... If you pass that you spend a year driving with your parents or a person who'se had a full licence for more than 5 years.

If you take a driving course that drops to 8 months.

Then you take your driver's test, if you pass you get a limited licence with only 4 points to lose, 0 alcohol tolerance.

A year of that, another test (methinks) and you get a full licence.

I took my first test almost a year ago now, and the only thing the evaluator said was "Jonathan, you have to learn to be more agressive at intersections.. Now go get your licence inside"

October : Get full licence.. Thank god, I only have 1 point left of the four. And could you believe I actually lost those 3 on my bicycle? I ran a stopsign, got hit by a car, but since I had a driver's licence, and a bike's not a pedestrian, it's a "vehicle", they had the right to take 3 points.

To date I've never done anything wrong in a car.. only on a bike, but one screwup in my car and I'm toast.. Until October.

yea you can make a right on red but only after you come to a compleate stop first.

Dude, I got points on my lisence for riding my bike on the sidewalk (illegal here) the wrong way on a one-way street. I phoned up ICBC when I got the letter, complained, and they removed the points from my lisence.

And here's it's

Knowledge test - "Learner's" (gotta drive with someone with full lisence for 6 months minimum, 3 if you take ICBC approved lessons) You also have to display the Red magnet with an "L" on it. You also can't drive between the hours of 12:00am and 6:00am.

First road test - "Novice" you can drive by yourself with no alcohol whatsoever in your body, and you must display the green "N" sign on the back of your vehicle. No other restrictions. This lasts for 18 months. They're also harder on you if you get speeding tickets, etc, especially with all the street racing going on now.

Second road test - You get your full lisence, no restrictions, standard .08 blood alcohol limit.

They need to toughen up like that here in the states. Sorry kids but you do realize you can KILL people with a car right? If you kill yourself I could give a ****, but what about the innocent people who get killed/maimed/crippled by bad and/or irresponsible drivers? I think you should be retested every 5 years, and followed by DMV covertly from time to time to see how you REALLY drive. %80 of the people here in FL would be walking or taking the bus! Maybe more like %95.

Driving while talking on a cell phone? 1yr suspension.
Running a red light? 1yr suspension
Street racing? no more license--------EVAR!!!!!
Hurt someone cause of your dumbass driving? See street racing above, and tack on some jail time.
DUI?- See street racing above, and tack on some jail time.
"Sorry officer, I didnt see the stop sign" dont cut it with me. If you cant see a stop sign you shouldnt be driving a car PERIOD.

Maybe if they got harsh on people, they wouldnt drive like asswipes. Driving is NOT a priveledge, its a responsibility. If you cant drive perfectly for a short road test or 2, how can you say your ok to drive reasonably SAFELY for the rest of your life?

BTW, Im not picking on you Fennix_sr, just ranting about a serious subject. Good luck on your next test. You'll pass dude. Look at some of the ****** ******** they give licenses to right?

81Rex6port13b

ewww remind me never to move to FL.

i live in CA, our rules are not that hard.

we can talk on our cell phones. running a stop sign is a $150 ticket, speeding is not to big of a ticket unless your going way above the speed limit.

i guess we got it easy and should not complain.

please try an obay the law

12abridgeport

i never even took a test and still got my license cause i guess the guy that was supposed to be giving out my learners, gave me regular license because he liked me or something, i don't know i was just really happy.

Keaponlaffen

Oh yeah, and our speeding ticket fines have gone up up up.... 40 km/h over is $460

and if you go $40 over, they can immediately suspend your lisence for 3 months. 60 over and they can take it away for a year.

I agree, our tests are way to easy. Any idiot can get a licence. I've seen a ton of people who should definatly not have one, both male and female. Oh well, nothings gonna change I guess.

Rx7carl

Hahahahahaha.............. Thats what I WISH the laws were LOL. They aint like that unfortunately.

Rx7carl

Thats why Im gonna put 4 point belts in the car. Id wear my helmet too but I dont think cops would like to see that.

Cody

Hmm.

I could have sworn I posted here earlier.

Anyways, what I said was....

Think of it this way. Imagine if you HAD your license, and since you didn't know you had to make a FULL stop at a red before making your right turn....you just slowed down, and turned.

...in front of a cop.

The cop pulls you over, and is about to write you up for running a red light, (which is usually a big fine) and he smells some nice illegal marijuana.

"Son, I'm gonna need you to step out of the vehicle. Hmm....what's this under the passenger seat? "

Now, you have a moving violation fine, your car is impounded, and you're taken to jail.

Numerous fines later, you have to ask yourself:

Would you have rather made the mistake on your driving test.....or in front of a cop?
