Did you say 120 hours and TWO YEARS???

It is only 50 hours and six months here, and I thought that was bad!

Boy do I feel sorry for you, that's really too bad

In Australia once you get your learners permits (16) you have to clock up 120 hours of driving with a parent or family member (who has a full Australian lisence) in 2 years. Then you get a probationary lisence with different laws and after another 3 years you get your full lisence.

interesting story

My aunt had held a French driving licence for over thirty years, and had regularly driven in Paris and Antwerp. When my uncle retired from the British army, they moved to Hull to be near their son. Jack had had a British licence for years, but Katie had to take a test to get a British licence.
She arrived at the test centre in a left-hand drive Hillman Minx with Belgian plates, which gave the examiner a bit of a shock. However, he tested her on hand signals – which he was required to do in a LHD car – and the test went ahead … for about five minutes. He then instructed her to pull in to the kerb, and said: ‘Mrs ------, this is a complete waste of time; you’re a better driver than I am. Let’s go for a coffee so we don’t get back to the centre too soon.’

I did pass on first time, drove the same Typ 89 Audi 80 1.6 Diesel I drove all the driving lessons.

I took just one month of driving lessons, i took more for the writting exam but because i didnt pay much interest in it since it is the "boring part", but once i got with the car? it was probabaly just four weeks and the license was mine, then, during the first year you have to put an "L" on the rear windscreen and you cant go over 80 KM/H on the motorway, once that years is gone (this June to me) you are a "normal" driver, jsut like the rest.

Jsut 2 months? Wow, you lucky Spainish

Not the case in Spain, it is possible to get it all in less than two months, many people studying and with just the summer holiday to get the license make this, and in two months or so they have the license.

Hey, I still could have taken out an old lady or crashed into a mailbox



I still get to drive during those six months, I just get a "learner's permit", which basically just means one of my parents has to be in the car with me while I'm driving. They just want people to have a few months of experience driving before they get their full license.

Is it possible to do it wrong with an automatic?



6 months?! that's an eternity!
