You only have to do one parking test also. Did a 10metre reverse and park or something. I was ready to do every parking i learnt. Expected more challenges from the test but it was just a quick 10min run around the block.

If ya make one or two little mistakes to at the beginning don't stress, most assessors will allow for you to be a little bit nervous at the start. Just chill out and don't dwell, there is nothing that you can do to change your mistake, so don't stress over it. Instead just get on with the drive.

Think of it this way, if you fail all you have to do is reschedule and get as much practice in as possible and some paid lessons, and re do it.

Some other tips. What ever car you are going to use for the test that is the car you should be practicing in, so that you become comfortable in it which will make you more relaxed. Also get as much practice in as possibility before the event! If you’re going to be in the car with a person with a full lenience, then tell them that you will drive. Also if it is raining then try to go for a drive, practice in as many weather conditions as possibility, so if it happens on the day you know what to expect.

Good luck buddy, let us know how it goes...

Edit:

There is also an interactive CD that you can get from TAC called Drive Smart, It will help you with the test's. Link below to order

hpt is stupid. The pixels are like 3cm by 3cm. I nearly failed it purely because i got all nervous and clicked for no reason! If you fail the driving test(which is way to easy) you dont deserve your p's. Just relax

haha i dint have to do the perception test. read the book one and passed the computer test. but failed the driving test first time. why cuz i was nervous.

i was calling the demister a de-fogger and vice versa and got impatient at a round about, and the instructor didnt like me cuz i has foreign license.

anyway moral of story, do not get a test on peak times (too much traffic) and if u are at a roundabout or getting on a main road stay there until the road is completely clear even if it takes 20min :-)

      If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!

      I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies.

      It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      By PranK · Posted

      Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks!

      It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
