I passed my driving test! I have no idea why. Everyone is surprised but no-one is quite as surprised as me. Must've been all the practice I did in those ten days. For those of you who are inclined to be skeptical, there were no sexual favours involved. I know. I don't know why I passed either. It must be because I am awesome.
Either that or there is something wrong with the NZ testing system.
Thank you all for your advice - in the end the only manoeuvre I needed to do was a 3-point-turn, and it ended up being a 5-pointer (and was at one stage in danger of becoming a 7-pointer) but apparently those are ok too? Who cares, I'm going to the pub.

Congratulations! Now come to Wellington.
Spenthro - originally looked like 'spentho' - a ho once finished with.
I forgot to check my blind spot when I did my 3-point turn, and I still passed.
It's just too bad for all the children on bikes I will eventually hit.
I am slapping my flipperz and also honking a series of hornz. Well done Ally, and stay indoors, New Zealand.
Yay! Congratulations! :D
Btw, that wine I saw you with at the mall...that totally wasn't really for a client, was it...!?
Sarah - Baby steps, man, baby steps. Also I can't drive to Wgtn there is a STRAIT
Darnielle - I cut two corners turning right and forgot to indicate out of a roundabout and probably checked my blind spot... once? sheesh. Fuck kids on bikes
chris - yay! Honk away, amigo.
Holly - It bloody was! I went back later and bought a bottle for myself though.
Hurrah!
I am sure that your driving skillz are magnificent and that you're doing yourself down. Either that or I am really glad that I am in the UK...
wv - meatens. Well, well, well. A wv that is incredibly similar to a real word! This is what adding overcooked kebabs to a pizza slice does. It makes it more meaty - it meatens it.
Actually I might start using that.
Wow - congrats! I have to say I fall into the surprised category but well done! Did you do a little dance afterwards?
I demand a recount and my money back. I spent hundreds of dollars on driving lessons, practiced countless hours and sweated buckets to get my license at 17 and you do it in 9 days.
I reckon its the AA, the traffic cop that did my test said I passed with flying colours then spent 30 minutes explaining to me how I couldnt afford to get cocky now and would be around my house in a couple of weeks to check my car for dings.
but well done on a tenacious effort, look foreward to reading your next post form within my bunker, half the country and a large body of water is still too close.
ps. Good on ya.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I'm a fan of the seven point turn. And the bump bump bump bump park technique.
Woot! Go you :) Enjoy the new job and skilz and freedom and things.
nosesser - wine that cannot be used in a drinking session, for example, wine that is for a client.
Baglady and Christina - I think those are two of the best word verifications that I have ever seen.
Congrats, be careful, and be sure to tell us if you run over anything interesting.
