I agree with you, and been thinking the same thing about taking 2 or 3 hours of driving lessons in one of those schools and see how it goes before taking the G2 or the G.Aigleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05508109746567895544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044292275482013802.post-14361079572909709892008-07-02T11:24:00.000-04:302008-07-02T11:24:00.000-04:30I hope you guys are not thinking about buying a ca...I hope you guys are not thinking about buying a car.<BR/>You do not need one in TO.<BR/>A car is really and expensive object and with the TTC there you are better off.<BR/>But it is a good idea to get the license.<BR/>You will be able then to rent a car for a weekend or longer periods of time.<BR/><BR/>Call a driving school and ask them for a couple of hours of training.<BR/>You probably just need some pointers.<BR/><BR/>POINTERS:<BR/>* First thing you have to do in the test, position your hands correctly on the wheel.<BR/>Think of the wheel as a clock and position your hands at ten and two.<BR/>Believe me, they look at that.<BR/><BR/>* Do not I repeat, do not touch the stick for anything other than shifting gears.<BR/><BR/>* Do not drive one handed.<BR/><BR/>* When changing lanes, make absolutely sure that you turn your head to check your blind spot.<BR/>This is better to exaggerate a bit in your practices and a must do in the test, because if you drive like a Venezuelan, you are not used to this.<BR/><BR/>* Signal everywhere!<BR/><BR/>* Practice the 3-way-turn. This is also a must. It is easy and I'm sure that if you drove back home you did at least a thousand times, but the difference here is that you need to signal and twist that neck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044292275482013802.post-64694230617252906962008-07-01T15:09:00.000-04:302008-07-01T15:09:00.000-04:30hahahahah, very funny :pIt's good that you can exc...hahahahah, very funny :p<BR/><BR/>It's good that you can exchange the licence, I saw the list of countries that can do that, and they are not that much.Aigleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05508109746567895544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044292275482013802.post-23642214500259206242008-07-01T12:21:00.000-04:302008-07-01T12:21:00.000-04:30I didn't have to take any tests or anything.

Guess it's much easier to be an "American" in Canada. <BR/><BR/>Warn me when you're taking the refresher course so I can stay away from your neighbourhood on my bike :) (Just kidding, of course)Johnadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17686065409753540608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044292275482013802.post-37161893345136540132008-07-01T07:49:00.000-04:302008-07-01T07:49:00.000-04:30thanks Zhu!!!

You really should start over again and take it, maybe with a driving school ;)<BR/><BR/>I don't have anyone here for that :( So I'll pay a driving school by the hour so I can have a couple of hours to help me refresh everything ;)Aigleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05508109746567895544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044292275482013802.post-36629775843988924192008-06-30T22:56:00.000-04:302008-06-30T22:56:00.000-04:30Congrats!That's kind of weird you weren't granted ...Congrats!<BR/><BR/>That's kind of weird you weren't granted a G2 directly though... I understood your troubles but at the same time, I guess it depends on the people, the country you're from etc.<BR/><BR/>I had a learner permit in France and had to start everything from zero again here. I passed the knowledge test easily and got my G1... I'm ashamed to say this was three years ago and I never took my G2!<BR/><BR/>I'm not the best driver and it took me years to overcome my fear of driving. Getting better though!<BR/><BR/>Do you have someone you can drive with?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
