Haha, yeah, well, we actually like having marginally decent drivers here... You know, basic driving skills like obeying signals and signs and not running into other vehicles and/or pedestrians are a must. Just because you were able to get licensed in Mexico or India or wherever you happen to be from doesn't mean you're actually a competent driver.
Please get out of my country. Bad enough wit our own without all these foreigners coming in and expecting kindness in return for nothing.
The British test is a bitch, they have a very strict quota they have to meet, they can fail you for ridiculous things, It's purely down to luck in most cases. I once failed for going 55mph in 60mph limit, 5mph under the limit is apparently 'Dangerously slow' . My instructor has was in the back of the car for all my 6 tests, he said I only deserved to fail one, the others were down to the quota. You'll get your license eventually, I just got mine last week and it feels really good. Don't give up. :D
when ur country doesn't have laws its easy to pass
Then clearly, you do not know how to drive.
I'm sorry hen, but seriously; stop whining and learn to drive properly! My dad drives a bus in Edinburgh, and he used to be a driving instructor (not a mail-order course idiot with a plastic pyramid on the roof, this was in the time of the Royal College of Driving Instructors) and he taught me to drive, and I'm very grateful of that fact. Driving is an art and a science and if it isn't treated as such, then people DIE. A car is not just a piece of equipment, it's a lethal piece of 70mph metal, and having driven in France, Spain and Italy, and been driven around in India, Greece and Japan, I know that this simple fact is not internationally understood. This is not just my opinion; it's reflected in the road accident statistics of all those countries. I'm not especially patriotic, I know Scotland has a lot of flaws, I have simply noted, as a casual observer, that the only country where I've seen better drivers has been Switzerland. Of course we have bad drivers also, but a lot less than some countries. So yeah, this shouldn't be an "F my life", Anon(f.), this should be a "maybe I should sort my life out". Maybe you WERE driving for eight years, but you were doing it wrong. Our test is difficult in order to save lives. (of course being Anon', y'probably won't read this... oh well.) Sorry about the rant, but it does annoy me when drivers (Scottish ones included of course!) talk about good driving as if it is simply instinct that can't be taught or tested, and talk about fatal traffic accidents as non-preventable acts of God. This attitude is why people die on the roads.
Beautiful statement. Just beautiful. I enjoyed reading all of it!
Haha, yeah, it was a bit long... cheers though :)
in soviet Russia, car drives you!
Also in soviet russia, Old, lame joke tells you! Try posting your pointless crap on myspace where no one gives a shit. Good luck next time, OP. You'll get it eventually. :)

It's alright, Spongebob didn't give up, neither should you.
Well, I can see that being annoying. But it might simply be a 'getting accustomed to change' thing, depending on where you moved from and how many differences they are. I mean, generally the overall picture is the same, but there might be little nitty-gritty things that are different and a different side of the road etc and it all adds up. Or you're a bad driver who happened to never get caught out at all for eight years, and therefore you had no inkling of any faults, which I'd deem unlikely.
