Run! Run to Kings Park while there's still time!

[sqbr]

Things you don't want to hear in the first minute of your driving test:
"It might work if you turn on the engine"
"No, I said left...Nng. Fine. I guess we'll have to do a different route then."

And then:
"You..haven't practiced reverse parking much have you?"
"So you do know you're supposed to look in your mirror before breaking, yes? Consider this a warning. From now on I will watch you like a hawk."
"So I make you nervous do I?" *starts deliberately clicking pen to make me nervous*

And then we got to the end, and all I had to do was forward park to the left, and I fluffed it so badly I had to do it three times to get remotely between the lines.

And then...HE PASSED ME ANYWAY!! WOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

He emphasised several times to me and my driving instructor that I had only just passed and really need to work on various things but HAHAHA I DON'T CARE I HAVE IT NOW!!!

*dances the dance of joy*

(title refers to the license saying I'm not allowed to drive in Kings park for some reason(*))

(*)For those who got their licenses back in ze old dayz: I'm now on my L2s, and have to do 25 hours of supervised driving and then a stupid computer test to get onto my Ps. And apparently driving in Kings Park is up there with drunk driving and speeding for Things Learners Shouldn't Do.

You totally need to go hooning around Kings Park before you get your license. That'd be awesome.

(On a more serious note, well done! But you should practice the parking more, most accidents happen in carparks from memory, because [in my opinion] people lack the confidence or skill to do things right.)

You've led me to wonder how long it is before I can have L-platers driving me around. Because that sounds like a lot of fun. :D

Yeah, I definitely plan to practice parking.

And I will NOT be hooning in Kings Park. Bad greteldragon!

Just don't do what I did (I could park fine in Manji) then I did my practical test. Fucked it up horribly (partly due to the guy making me incredibly nervous) then was too scared to try it again, because it was back to having mum in the car with me (also having a habit of making me nervous via yelling). So by the time I actually got my license I was incredibly picky about where I'd park, then I moved to Perth where the bays are about half the size and there's not much angle parking around.

*rambles more about parking*

And it sucks, but I got better....

Anyway the point of me replying was going to be a not serious: C'MON IT'D BE AWESOME :D:D:D but apparently I feel talkative today.
