Learners and License

[RVR]

Hi

If one books their learners test in Jan, how much time do they give you to write? Would March be an option or they give you February?

Also, is code 10 still an option for getting your license but then end up driving a light motor vehicle.

Thanks

Same month, Same week for me. I practiced with a code 8 and took a test with a code 10.

Thanks, I'm just going to try for March if that's possible with everything else going on

I heard that if you take with code 10, you can't drive a light vehicle anymore but not sure if that's still applicable now.

I’m pretty sure the Code 10 trick is gone. When I booked I wrote the following week. Almost got kicked out for flying ahead of the slow as molasses instructor though

Is there a grace period or something after a learner's has expired? Mine expires 01/02/2019 but I don't know if I'll get my driver's by then. Would I have to rewrite my learners again?

If it expires, you have to redo learners again

No.

You already had 18 months of grace period.

Need to write it all over again.

I don’t understand why people don’t get their learners and book their license test almost immediately.

I'm not gonna bother telling you what's been happening the last 2 years of my life. I haven't had much chance to learn driving so I haven't tried to get my license.

Aren’t you like approaching thirty or something?

Why leave it so late in life instead of just doing it at 17/18?

For that matter from a purely curious point of view how have you managed life without a license until now? How do you manage to study or work etc?

How do you buy groceries?

Lol I got code 10 license but drive small car got my license in Feb

Cause initially they are learning to drive? It's actually two years now and by 6 months you should book the drivers and go.

Why? A car is easier to drive and the driver's test is also easier. Unless you want to be a truck driver?

 

[Mrlepen]

Lol truck easier to pass test

Not really, the hardest part of the driving test is parallel parking, you've still got to alley dock but now instead with something much larger, you've got more gears to try get through, lessons in a truck are far more expensive as well.
Honestly if your biggest fear is parallel parking you shouldn't be driving.

I'm approaching 26. At 17/18 I had other priorities. My mom/brother/bf drives me around or I take the bus/uber. I live right next to the pnp so if really needed, I walk. Happy?

I’ll admit I forget that people actually need to learn to drive in this period.

I’ve been driving since a very young age so took a few formal K53 lessons to do what they needed me to do and that was that.

Yup I also only took a package of 5 lessons so I could get the K53 way and it was the smallest package I could get. By 4 months into 18 I was at my first test which I did unfortunately flunk outside the yard by stopping over the "white" line of a stop street so faded I actually almost missed it, by the 6th month when I could get my next booking I got it and the stop street was gone.
My wife when she got her learners the first time did the same as Akasha waited till the last minute to book the drivers and failed, it took her an additional 9 years to go again was like wtf!!!! But to be fair my son was born, some other family things took priority as well, but she got it the second time around almost a decade later.

Lol alley dock with truck is bloody easy I learnt parallel parking on my own only spent 1400 including truck hire for 15 lessons 1 hour each and passed no stress people mustn't come here and frighten other people since they have never driven trucks or buses without license. When you get a car you will adjust to driving a small car daily no stress go for truck license don't believe these code 8 Michael Schumacher's and Mr knowit all's on my broadband who sit behind their desks but sprout bile on my broadband whole day since their lives differ from other people's. If this post ruffles some feathers get over it since you must be part of the gang who only know attack anything different from them or differs from their opinion.

A car is even easier cause it's a tenth of the size and parallel parking shouldn't be what scares a person off, and it's even cheaper for lessons with a car. IF you don't need to have a trucks license don't get it, rather get a cars license where you can learn to drive properly not like the bunch of code 10ers I see out there.
How do you know it's a code 10 driver, they reverse into every parking incredibly slowly, they pull off slowly, they are more then likely going to have learner stickers on their cars for months if not years cause they've not driven a car before.

I learned to drive and got my license when I were 35 before then I were happy with my motorcycle and having my wife driving us.
