Congrats!! Now... is this a good act or god or should we fear for our lives when we're on the road (which I already do because old people here).
ngl i laugh everytime I hear someone talk about having to parallel park for their test because I didn't have to. |

Parallel parking is so hard for me :( Congrats on passing though! Getting your license makes you feel so free 8)

I'll be taking my driving test after my birthday.
I really don't care that much. :P |

if you hit a cone, you're done. you can't take the test or redo or anything. needless to say i failed my first test. |
I wish they had tested me for parallel parking on my driving test. But I guess since I was in an area where it wasn't a necessity at all, my driving test was pretty much....drive this way, turn here, turn here, turn here, okay you're done you passed hooray here's your license.
Of course now I live in an area where parallel parking is definitely a thing, so far I've skirted around it by walking everywhere I need to go and not using the car at all (and thus not having to be the one parking) but. :X Yeah. Eek. |
Parallel parking...luckily if you hit the curb you get another chance, so I was able to do it on my second try :P
|
For me the parallel parking was tough but the 3 point turn was the hardest part of the test :(
|
I managed to pass my driving test on my second try like 6 years ago but I have never had to use a car for transportation anywhere I've lived so chances are I'd need to retake some clases if I'm to start driving for real some day XD;

In Buenos Aires: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buenos_Aires_Underground plus the Bus Line 2, which ran right between my house door and my office. I also have an Oyster card for every time I visit London. Essentially, public transport takes me wherever I need to go and it's a hundred times cheaper than mantaining a car plus gas and taxes. |
The only times I've ever been on public transportation is the Metro in Virginia, and when I was working at the Jacksonville Jaguars stadium one year, we took a bus from the parking garage to the stadium. That's about it.
I prefer paying the money to have my own car anyway -w- Much more reliable, as proven in flight's post above. |
We really don't have any public transpiration where I live.
|
We do have it here, but I find it pretty expensive. Luckily I can use it for free as a student on weekdays and have 40% discount in weekends. :)
|
There's no metro here, but I used it once or twice when I used to live in America. Plus i live next to my school so I would never use it xD
|
We don't have any fancy metro transportation in my hometown. There's been some debate whether or not California should have a monorail.
|
Yeah, all we have here are busses :(
And they're always late. Or so says my coworker who rides the bus to work and is always late. |
I keep thinking I should figure out where the buses here run, and then maybe use them sometime.
I have no idea how late or early they run though, I just know I see them all the time on the main street. Quote:
Although if it's true, I can see where it would be a definite annoyance. |
we have buses here, but i think it's too dangerous to use them. i'll just use my car, thanks.

And, to be honest, taxi fares tend to be ridiculous compared to the local income wherever you go u_u |
I actually like the public transportation here in Houston. It's pretty decent, and it's sooo cheap. You don't pay more than $3 for a day's trip, and that includes transfers.
I still prefer going out and about by car though, seeing that it's a really huge city. |
The cities around me have very poor public transportation but that is something that comes from living in a small populated area.
|
I rely on public transport all the time, and I do admit sometimes Sydney has its fair share of bad service but to me I feel like I mostly get good service out of it.
|
Idk how I feel about public transportation in all honesty. I would probably not even use it if it were good here. Driving is so much better for me haha
