Yeah, take it easy because you're driving a car that's larger and tippier than a Focus...

I'm so glad that I don't have to deal with that when I move :) Just give them my NY license and get my shiny new Ontario one.

Passed with only one issue. Failed to Parallel park that boat properly.
And for as I waited so long. I dont know I just never got around to it.
I didnt get my G1 till I was 17 cause I wasnt driving at that point anyway.

Congrats!
When I was practicing for my road test.. I practiced parallel parking in a surburban.. then used a cavalier for the actual test :)
Wait until you go somewhere that allows parking on both sides of the road, pointing in either direction -- yeah, cars pointing in either direction.. Its like that in Pittsburgh. Parallel parking becomes an art form.

Congrats... yeah parallel parking is real pain, esp. if you haven't practiced it a lot in the car that you're testing in.

Congrats! But on a lighter note... this would explain why you backed your sedan's fart cannon into the parking spot at the bbq last year! :lol: :P
Seriously though, congrats on the license.

Congrats on passing, I did my test in my Mini and with luck the guy was an old English man that hadn't been in one for ages, at one point during the test he asked me to do a 3 point turn and I asked if he was sure as I could easily have done a u turn with the car. :D

congrats on your test man...
I remember mine.. instructor came out and said in a french accent, "I failed the last 3 people before you and I'm not afraid to fail you too".
talk about putting the pressure on... but I scored perfect somehow..
the trick to perfect parallel parking is getting the rear bumpers lined up, the rest is as simple as "full lock and go till your 45, then full lock the other way until you're straight". if the bumpers start off lined up perfectly, you can park in a space that's barely large enough for your car.
