1. Don't drive your skyline is one big tip.

2. use your mirrors wherever possible

3. obey street signals

4. stay 5 km below the limit, this takes into account hills (speeding is instant failure)

5. Head check when changing lanes

6. use the hand brake on hill strats not the clutch (3 stalls and you fail)

7. Remember don't hit the curb in parellel parking, pick your point and be confident.

8. be relaxed, if your nervous you will stuff up and be hard on yourself

9. if you are to tense or have had an unfortunate experience with another driver that has shaken you pull over and stop the vehicle. They do respect you for being responsible.

10. have fun and remain focused.

If you get stressed, thats when your likely to stuff it up.

Just relax a bit and you'll be fine.

Its really not as hard as you would think... i mean... when you see some of the drivers on the road these days, VicRoads must be giving out the plastic like hotcakes.

Don't you just have to send in 12 tokens from specially marked packs these days?

Anyhoo...

Concentrate, don't rush anything, use your mirrors, and relax.

Good luck!

LOL! Thought it was normally a promotion they ran where they were found free inside specially marked packs each year! :devil:

You definately dont want to be panicking as if you do, it will most likely show in your driving. Most people will suffer some nerves but try and keep them under control. If you fail, you fail. Take the advice on board given by the examiner and think of it as him/her trying to help you rather than you failing. :devil:

i agree, don't do it in the skyline, if u wheel, spin it the tiniest bit or the instructor doesn't fancy hoons, your probably screwed. It's not hard to get, i got mine with about 2 weeks practice and no paid lessons.. Hardest bit was the stupid computer test, that things retarded, so many things flying at you and buttons to tap

Yea I stuffed up the computer test, because the silly cow didn't tell me how it worked [ more like silly me for not askin]. If you don't know how to use it, ask. You won’t look stupid, and might save you having to resit it.

Don't let it stress you, there’s no point. Just pretend that no one is there. If you are confident and capable of performing all the maneuvers’ ect... with out the assessor, then you will be fine with him/her. If you are relay stressin your self about it, it might pay to get a paid lesson, and reassure your self. Bonus of a paid lesson is that the instructor knows all the routs that the assessors take you on, so you can learn the road that you will be taken on, and have no surprises

haha, yes the HPT is a freakin joke.

USE YOUR COMMON SENSE

Also, theres one where you waiting to turn right at an intersection on a green light, and your giving way to oncoming traffic whilst waiting in the interestection... so you get your cars and stuff, then a truck, and it looks like its all clear.. but it's not, theres a motorbike behind the truck... so watch out for that one...........

man that computer test still hasnt gotten any better i see, thats the worst, questions are multiple answeres like the learners, maybe still i took mine agers ago, heh

just dont stress, if your a confidant driver, and can actually drive there is nothing to worry about. I personally dont want a person behind the thats a nervous wreck, if you dont feel ready, reschedule.

Just, calm down, if you havent had any paid lessons best u do, as they will show u tricks, and teach u to drive how to pass the test, plus do a lesson before the test, i did, and it was the same route i took for the test, was a bonus.

If your from the s/e burbs goto the dandenong branch, apperently has easy routes with main roads and little traffic, i had mine in peak hour :( trucks n all. meh be confidant :)

if you make eye contact with the person next to you, you have to race them :(

That computer test was shocking, real lagging and past on 51% :)

95%+ on the actual driving test so go figure lol

Got into the car with tester. Told me to reverse out of carpark onto main road. I put it into reverse(not hard enuf) popped into neutral and started rolling forward :laugh: Also told me to turn right and started indicating left ~_~

After these 2 quick blunders, decided to relax at the next lights and went all good :(

If you go with a good learner instructor, they usually provide some notes about the test day. Here are some :)

OVERTAKING

You will be required to press the mouse button at the point you would overtake. Make sure there

is enough gap.

. You are following a tractor in the country with double lines on the road. Wait till you get to the

top where the lines change to single broken and you can see in the distance.

. You are following a bike in a small shopping strip. You can’t overtake, as there are oncoming

cars and cars pulling out of parking bays.

As you are saying this, does this mean it isnt taught ordinarilly? It seems logical to me and something I would adhere to in everyday driving. (BTW didnt sit my driving test here only a theory test)

Very simple dude.....

Impossible to fail!!!

Take your time don't speed, signal where required and don't hit anything and more importantly anyone :(...

And if you do happen to stall it don't stress have to do it 3 times to fail :)

      Structured text and other high level PLC programing languages are not allowable in Functional Safety. They are very difficult to audit. My PLC stuff is almost exclusively oriented towards Burner Management Systems which are a particularly pernicious form of Safety Instrumented System, when implemented in an SPLC. Even the part of the code written to work in the non-safety logic part of the PLC, like with a Siemens S7-1500 series, still needs to be treated as if it was safety code, with access restrictions, code fingreprints and the like. And Allen Bradley can go EABODs. They ae full of shit. They have this whole lie going on where they say if you use a ControlLogix controller and its IO, and then just duplicate the IOs (ie, run in series or parallel depending on type, to try to make it "fail safe") and "use these programming styles and place these restrictions on what you do" that you can achieve SIL2. What a load of crap. They just get away with it because no-one in the US seems to understand the first thing about Functional Safety and carries on as if all they have to do is buy only SIL2 rated equipment and hey presto, it's a SIL2 system. Idiots. /rant

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...

      All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It doesn't seem to follow revs. Oddly it seems to follow TPS a little bit from what I can see, but with some delay a bit. IE end of the graph, when he lets off throttle fully, pressure drops a lot, then slowly builds back up, but rpm is on a nice cruisey drop off. I do agree though, it seems very electrically.
