Nawww there there! I have a friend who's really short and wears super high heels all the time and is still shorter than me. She somehow managed to get a boyfriend who's shorter than her o.0 I don't know how she managed that...

Hopefully I'll find some dude who's like miles taller than me, and he can squash himself into my CAR/PORCHE(which ever eventuates) . And he can DRIVE looking like a retard.

Yeah LOL topic-refocusing fail.

I got my license in Jan 2010 and by March this year I had 120, and now I don't bother recording, it would probably be up to 180 or so. My birthday in is Jan so I'll probably take the test then!
Just wondering, why do you have to stay in the left lane? And how is the hazards part of it?

Yeah its supposed to be for overtaking. I think the general rule is 'Keep left unless overtaking' so unless you need to turn right, you would stay in the left lane.

Hazards are just some bullshit test they make you do. Its hard, but if you have common sense and some sort of driving skill where you can judge distances and speeds of approaching cars ad detect 'hazards' you should be fine.
You should book your hazards NOW because you need them to go for your P's and you can do the test a month before you turn 18.
And leave a gap between your hazards and your P's, just in case you fail your hazards, even though it costs more.

There's an Australian government-funded initiative (http://www.keys2drive.com.au/) which gives every L-plate driver one free lesson, so maybe you could check that out and grab a free lesson with a local instructor before you get your Ps? What happens is that you have to book a private lesson with your instructor, then give them the code so they can claim money from the Govt. I was thinking of doing this over the holis, so I can't vouch for any particular drivers, but I think it's pretty legit. Hope this helps somebody

I've got about 80ish hours I think...I'm too lazy to record, but do you guys think that they actually check/keep your booklet? Or do they jsut have a flick through?

Ummm isnt keys2drive supposed to be for after you get your P's?? My instructor told me it was to help new drivers go through the transition from always having a supervisor in the car with you, helping you, to when your driving out on the roads on your own?
But yeah it is free, and the government pays the instructor, but you dont have to pay anything. I've yet to sign up for it, but I will soon.


They dont keep your log book, but they check the end definitely, to check that you did the 120 hours. Where I went to get tested, they checked a random page and that was about it, but I dont know how much they check elsewhere. And by checking I mean check every detail of the page.

EDIT: I stand corrected, you can do it before or after you get your P's.
