Something like 15-30 min driving around. Usually includes parallel parking.

It's usually on a closed track. You stay in line with 20 other people waiting, watching others fail their tests, until it's your turn and youre so tense that you mess up the gears and jams the car and the instructor tells you you failed.

I did it 6 times until I got aproved, it's a minimum 30 day wait period to retake a test so it took a long time.

Extremely easy. Basic driving, everyone passes.

can't you just rob a car

>you're allowed to make 15 mistakes and pass
>tfw made 14

>tfw to intelligent too drive

Yukon here. Just take the written test, then do 50 hours practice whenever, then you get your full licence effectively after you take an easy test.

Stuff like parallel parking is easy because there is so little traffic you'll never have trouble finding a spot.

In that case, if police stops me I would be charged for both driving a stolen car and not having a licence.

This is based on memory. First you have to take an eye test and colour blindness test and then attend a course and then pass the written test. Passing this will get you the L license. Then you have to drive round and round a closed circuit for a total of cumulative 20hrs (?) Then you have to drive with an official instructor on actual roads for ?? hours. Then you take the actual test which consists of hill parking and starting, front parking, reverse parking, parallel parking and only then the actual road test. Passing the road test gets you the P license which you can upgrade to full license after 2 years, barring any serious infractions.

>”smarter people more likely to have low IQ, finds new resesrch”

In my province there's three tests to get a full license.

1) Written test, multiple choice questions which are easy as fuck.
If you pass you can drive with a fully licensed driver of 4+ years in the passenger seat next to you.

12 months later you can take the road test.
2) Road test - 15-20 minutes of simple driving on streets near test centre. You do either parallel or reverse parking, a three point turn then drive back.

Now you can drive alone.
3) Full G test - twice as long and includes highway driving. After that you have a full license that doesn't expire.

>t. full license brainlet

>a full licence that doesn't expire
nice. In my state , it gets expired every 4 years

They don't exist

Well it expires as in you need to pay license fees but if you let g2 expire you need to take test again is what I meant.

>tfw still using my red and white health card

No expiration on this baby

oh kek than that's a bad thing then , here it's just one road test , you get a probationary driving licence and if you drive for 1 year without committing any mistakes you will get the normal licence

how much did you have to pay for your license?

>just a written test and you can drive
canadian roads must be like hell

It's with an experienced driver (usually parent) next to you in passenger seat only. But yes our roads are quite bad, I regularly see people do idiotic things and walking is dangerous because retards literally don't check for pedestrians in my city.

same with america, its a goat experience. Instead of wasting money on driving schools , you can driving from the old man and you are actually more careful and respectful than normal drivers

>you mess up the gears
>gears

>tfw I failed twice

Awesome, guess I'm a genius

Peculiar.

>smarter people more likely to lose elections, finds new research

...

>go to government office
>yo waddup gimme some license ese
>sure, that'll be 400 pesos
>shieeeet, aight here you go
>cool, here's your license, see ya

yep its pretty shit. And when ping ping and muhammed come over from Dehli and Hefei they get their “licenses” commuted to ours no problem because anything else would be discriminatory. So we have a small army of tanks on the road who learned to drive in like vietnam or whatever and have never obeyed a traffic law in their life.

multiculturalism is so wonderful

>take written learners test
if you pass, congratulations
>display learner plates for one year
>cannot drive unaccompanied
>cannot drive with more than 1 person
>complete driving log book
>must log 100 hours worth of driving
>must provide to and from destinations complete with odometer reading at start / end of each trip and travel time
>must provide signatures of both yourself and accompanying driver
>if other driver has held open licence for under one year, or is currently suspended from driving, EVERY trip logged with them, is void
>tfw you get docked 33hrs because of this reason
>tfw you also have to provide registration details of the vehicle you used in case you want to complete your 100hrs in 3weeks by magic
once log book is approved (may take up to a month) congratulations! You can now BOOK your practical driving test! And I capitised book because you may not get an opening for months at a time

>pass practical test
>get Provisional 1 licence (P1)
>no passengers after 11pm
>0.000% BAC
>no v8 or turbo cars
>must display red P plates for 1 year

after that year congrats you take an online Hazard Perception Test to get your Provisional 2 licence.
Basically just a video from a drivers point of view and you click different hazards he encounters along the way. The hazards are all blatantly obvious, to the point where the driver will sometimes come to a complete stop, but its a test on your reaction speed. Pass that, easy as

>final year
>must display green P plates for 1 year
>no passenger curfew
>still 0.000% BAC
>still no v8s or turbos

Automatically move to an Open licence after that year, no test nothing

Holy moly

>New research shows smarter people are more likely to be depressed NEETs who post on anime image-boards !

WHOA

You get a permit to practive driving during your late teens then you do a theory test and a practical test, everyone fails their first practical test out of tradition because almost every single driving instructor wants to gut you of as much money as possible. And once you have your license, usualky young people don't drive for two years, since after getting your license you are on a "trial" period where ANY and i mean ANY mistake you do, will make you lose your license instantly and have to repeat the entire process again

>update address
>get sent a sticker to place over the existing address
>all of the text wears off just from sitting in my wallet

Not too bad but passing or failing depends more on the tester. I failed twice at two different places and both to two different nasty female cunts. The third time I drove worse than the first two times and passed with flying colours, but the tester was a guy and not a complete smug cunt.
It isn't a great system, at least in New South Wales, but what makes it worse is that shitcunts who have been driving for decades aren't retested ever. The worst drivers on the roads are the elderly, who shouldn't be any fucking where near a car, and middle aged pricks in utes.

Haven't lost any points to this day, at least. My younger brother has lost his license twice for reckless driving and DUI, the silly cunt. He managed to pass his driving test because he knew the guy who tested him. He can't drive for shit, kek.

Passing could entirely depend on the mood of the tester

lol wtf. I would never go through all that. Better off driving illegally and paying the ticket when caught

I remember a mexican co-worker telling me the speed limit in mexico is dictated by how shitty the road is and how badly you want to fuck up your car.

Sounds stupid.

>tfw to smart too drive

>display learner plates for one year
Pretty sure people who get their L's today are stuck with them for something like 24 months minimum. I remember a whole stink about it a while back.

>If you're under 25, start supervised driving practice to work towards the 120 hours experience you need before you can sit your driving test. You also need to hold your learner licence for at least 10 months before progressing to step 3. If you're 25 or over, you can go straight to step 3.
>Attempt the Hazard Perception Test (HPT). This is a computer-based touch screen test that measures your ability to recognise potentially dangerous situations on the road and respond appropriately. If you're under 25 you need to hold your learner licence for at least 12 months and complete your 120 hours of supervised driving practice, including 20 hours of night driving, before moving to step 4. If you're 25 or over you can go straight to step 4 after you pass the HPT.
Wasn't right about the 24 months, but it looks like they jacked up the hours again. From memory, I had to have 50 hours in the logbook (which was all fake because the person who gave me lessons didn't even have a license at the time).

I like this part:
>It takes at least 4 years to progress through all the licence stages.
When I was a teenager, my old man would go on about who he got is license by driving down to the shops with the instructor, so the guy could buy a pack of ciggies. Sure as shit is different now.

I took drivers ed in high school when everyone is 15 or 16. You go out driving like 3 times the whole semester. Nothing hard, just drive around the neighborhood and back to the school. As long as you don't get in an accident you get your license afterward. Varies by location

>and paying the ticket when caught
That's a great way to end in doing prison time here, user.

>whole thing amounts to a cash grab

fuck driving is a complete waste of money, thinking of getting a motorcycle as I have some scooter 125cc experience but its 4 licenses to go through over three years... so fuck that

>Sure as shit is different now
yeah pretty much same go with my supervisor, he reckons the police use to give out the licences, so he went to the cop shop, coppa jumps in the car with him and they went to the post office, coppa picks up the mail, and then dropped old mate back and drove away on his opens...

Wouldn't a motorcycle be hell during a good three months of the year for most of Canada?

I automatically failed my first test like 2 blocks into the drive because at a 4 way stop when I was starting to cross the intersection I ever so slightly nudged my brakes because it looked like another car hadn't seen me and started to pull out in front of me.

Apparently slowing down half a kilometer for a split second is "dangerous driving" because the person behind me could have hit me somehow.

>pay an expensive fee to open process (like 100U$)

I live in vancuckver

>three months

Try 6.

Sounds comfy. I went to Whistler for a few weeks when I was a teenager and it was the best outdoors type experience I've ever had.

>tfw barely passed both my permit test and driving test

>Sounds comfy.

6 months of "winter" is misleading though. Some winter activities like snowmobiling is only good for like 2 or 3 months tops because there needs to be enough snow and sometimes we just don't get much. It's like 3 months of real winter and another 3 of just shitty cold bullshit.

Whistler is comfy though, I agree.

>did student driving school for like 6-8 hours
>got a paper from the instructor at the end
>bring paper to MVD, they just give me my license, no test whatsoever

>mfw we basically drove around town for 5 hours and spent the rest of the time at bookmans looking at video games and music cds
>never had to parallel park until like 10 years later

To be honest, what I enjoy most about colder weather is curling up in layers of blankets and reading or playing video games. There is something strangely peaceful and deeply conformable about being warm in a room cold enough to chill/freeze a glass of water by leaving it out for a few hours. Maybe it's the whole breath in the air thing. I don't really know why if feels the way it does, but I love it.

I hate winter but I do enjoy that comfy feel. During highschool my buddies and I would go out to my one friend's cabin in the middle of the woods during the winter and make moonshine all night while drinking and staying cozy next to the fireplace. It was maximum comfy.

i spent like 500yuros in driving lessons alone.
shit's not cheap here.
but i could've gotten away with less if i my instructor hadn't been shit.

>failed it 5 times (max you can before having to re-pass the theory test)
>cost me around 6 500€ in total
>traumatized me for all future tests
>don't want to try it again

Somehow your picture makes me feel better about myself.
It shouldn't.

>500
that's the minimum registering fee here.
After that you have to pay for the lessons.
And then if you go beyond the minimum lessons number, they charge you extra (up to 50€ the extra lesson, which sometimes is half an hour)

Let me move to Latvia already.

>>if you get an infraction on that time, you lose your license, if you don't it's upgraded into a definitive license at the end of the period
So you can just pass your test and wait a year before driving again?

well, you're in france.
considering how high your wages are, i think you can afford it.
500 is a lot of money here. in france that's probably the monthly pocket money for a student.

You take something like 50h of lessons in a driving school, pay a fee to pass the test (total with the hours ~700€). The test is easy (20 minutes driving and two random manoevers).

Piss easy.

the driving tests themselves are ezpz but they're a bit of messing around before you get your full license.

it's a parking lot
you go around it, through some cones, and park the car.

the main thing that fails people is that more or less immediately after you start, there's a stopsign and a speedbump at the same time. it's a pretty dumb trick but I suppose a lot of people do fall for it, not noticing the sign.
