    Shit sounds different over here.

    It's dangerous to turn the wheel like everyone in the world (minus instructors of course) do.

    I failed the parallel parking the first time because I barely bumped into the back cone, and I was in a big ass truck. It is really easy to pass the driving portion though, I missed a turn and drove slightly over the speed limit and still passed.

    I drive the same kind of car, it's turn radius is so shit, I usually can't even pull a u-turn unless it's a three lane road. Or if I make an illegal turn outside of the turn lane.

    When reversing out of a drive way I was always told to turn your head around rather than use the rear-view mirror, not quite the same though.

    10:00 and 2:00! Seriously though, all the shit I learned in drivers ed is pretty much superfluous, aside from being a defensive driver and staying 2 car lanes behind people on the freeway. Mostly the obvious things anyways. The best way to become a good driver is to drive.

    Oh yeah, you can when someone else's life is at risk. If it's your own...

    I haven't done any driving as of yet. I'll have to pay a stupid instructor.

    Yeah, I was always told that too, but also to turn around when you're merging lanes to make sure there's no one in your blind spot. Truthfully though, the mirrors are adequate most of the time, but I usually look just to be safe. There's been a few times I was riding passenger in a friends car and they almost merged into another car because they didn't see it in their mirror. Most of my friends are shitty drivers though. There's been numerous times that I've feared for my life riding with other people.

    Real men take a Peel P50 to their driver's test.

    Such a scam. It is kind of scary at first, but once you get used to it it's like riding a bike. Also, being able to drive around is awesome. And doing 100 mph irl is fucking exhilarating.

    I believe the max you're allowed to do in the UK is 70 on motorways, everywhere else seems to be 20-50 to me.

    You definitely fail if you end up with it on its roof at the first turn.
