Quickest driving school?

To the OP. On second thought, just get through using whatever means necessary, even if you can’t drive for crap.

(You’ll fit right in)

@noimright,

My oldest goes into year 12 this year and gets her p’s in April, she is young for her age so I have watched most of her friends go through this farce.

If that is not good enough for you ask a reputable driving instructor what he thinks of the cowboy companies springing up all over town.

I don’t understand why the government has made it easier to get your license. Everyone should do the same exam with the same bunch of driving testers. I have a friend who was also trying to find a quick way to get their license, so much so they were relying on an old address in Victoria as it seemed easier there.

Of course ordinary public transport in Canberra doesn’t make it any easier for those without a license to get around either. I had to catch the bus to get to uni my first couple of years, I couldn’t afford a car and my parents needed theirs. I sucked but I got over it.

It’s because the govt is currently being dominated by an out of control and profit driven road safety industry/lobby.

I spoke to an ex instructor from the most well known driving school and they had a quota system where each instructor needed to get at least $1,000 from each student before passing them.

No wonder kids are finding ways around it and shonky operators are thriving.

Is there an internet forum rule about how long into a topic before someone blames “the Government”? You know like the Nazi one whose name escapes right now.

Its the Godwin’s Law you are talking about. And I think Nazi/government can be interchangable.

No they are not interchangeable but way to miss the point. clearly putting driving instructorsin charge of how many lessons are required and having them get paid for those lessons is doomed to fail. Just have a look at the fly by night companies springing up everywhere.

Do you really believe our young people are being properly trained, if so you should hang around more year 12 kids and listen to how it really works.

You hang around Year 12 kids all you like thats not for me. Ill go on the experience of my children and my friends.

Exactly, listen to the younger kids, many of whom do the least amount of work to get their license. I can’t see how this is a good idea. Far better to train drivers properly than it is to introduce ridiculous speed limits and saturate the streets with speed cameras, which don’t pick up bad driving, just fast driving.

Bugger the car license, get a motorcycle license. It only takes 1 day and your out on the road. Don’t worry about riding skill either…. When i did mine I watched multilple people drop the bikes, one person even managed to drop it 4 times during the day. All of them still walked away at the end of the day with a license to ride on the roads, sure most are probably dead by now, but hey it’s only 1 day out of your busy schedule and your right to go.

This one time at bandcamp
