DRIVERS LICENSE TEST - tips anyone?

beezy - sorry what's a "demister"? unfortunately I've never heard that term before...

It's that button that de-fogs the back window

with the 40speed limit in school zones - does this still apply when it's not during school hours?
cause my teacher was like "you can do 50 but during a test the tester tried to fail one of my other students because she did 50" -shit instuctor!

I am reading the vicroads book
It says

5.4 Speed Choice
Item code: Speed
Requirements:
- Does not exceed the speed limit by any margin for a continuous period of 5 seconds or more.
- Does not exceed the speed limit by any margin for any duration in an area identified by a speed limit sign with the additional words ‘school’ or ‘school zone’. (Note operating hours are defined by the sign.)

I think this means if you go at 51 km/hr in a school zone you fail. I think.

If your in a manual: Don't ride the clutch and keep your foot on the footrest when your not stopping or changing gears so they know your not doing it. Use your brakes moreso to slow and stop the car, rather than the gears. And if your in a hilly area, make sure you can do a handbrake start, as you lose points if you roll back at all.

Sometimes it is necessary to murder the clutch for low speed maneouvers.  In the car I drive, there is no way to park safely WITHOUT using the clutch to regulate the power

(And by murder I mean http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clutch_control#Low_gear_and_low_speed )

Has anyone performed the hazard perception test?
Looks difficult when I did some practicing on the VicRoads site, because it isn't an accurate simulation of real life.
How did you go?

does anyone know how much it costs to book your licence?

I think a good tip is to pass the test. I found it worked wonders for me.

However much you want, it's a minimum of $10 though, it works like a donation

the hazard test is bull
i passed it even though i thought i had failed, i don't think it is indicative of ones ability to perceive hazards

1. when coming back to vicroads to finish the test and you have to park - this is still part of the test?

For some it is. That was my slow speed manoeuvre.

It cost me about $60 to book both tests(think 60.60), and $11.10 if you wish to re schedule a booking

[clinton_09]

yeh i was just joking. I Don't know how much it cost me. I think it may have been $250 including the double driving lessons before hand

Driving License is quite easy to get, you just have to make sure your not nervous before the test, know most of the rules and make sure you dont go over the speed limit coz if you go over by 5kmh then its auto fail.

im going for my test during school holidays at 2.15 pm.
do 40 km/h speed limits still apply?

i hope not lol
