Only tip I can think of is to try and relax, the hazard perception test is easy, and as long as you have done a bit of driving, the driving test itself is also a piece of cake.

:party3: Happy birthday mate, hope you have a good one! :party3:

I found the Hazard Perception Test a bit of a bitch because in some of the things I didn't know what they wanted. I ended up getting 74% or some shit, could have been lower. I think the pass is only 54%.

The driving is easy, I got dicked on mirrors 3 times and got 89% for the driving all together. I went for my manual P's though. Just remember, mirror, indicator and headcheck for each lane change!

Lol. It's crap these days because you have to do the hazard perception test before you do the driving test, otherwise you fail straight out.

InitialD, you get 2 sets of marks. One for the HP test and the other for driving. Did you average it to be 98%? You're a pussy anyways, you did auto test didn't you?

And John, I doubt it'd be EBII Falcon. Burwood do like 100 tests a day. It's busy as down there, I'm sure there's more than 1 forum hoon going for their test today!

Just outta interest EBII Falcon, what area are you from? I seen a car exactly like yours parked in Kilsyth near Canterbury Gardens SC.

Happy Birthday.

The hazard perception test is crap, cause the screens suck, so sometimes you don't know whether to go or not, the resolution is terrible.

I failed my driving test first up, I was in a little ricer galant, manual with an Exhuast, my Tester was some uptight midget bitch who coud hardly see over the dash, I knew i was gunna fail strait up. :( Took the Test, same car a month later, got some nice friendly Irish guy, and got 100%.

I got my Ls when I was 17.5 and only did 30 hours of practice before getting my license. I got 4 manual lessons just to make sure I knew what was expected of me in the driving test. I learnt heaps of stuff in those 4 lessons, and the instructor told me I was one of the best students he'd ever had lol.

I went for the test in a mate's ED 5 speed, but VicRoads ****ed me round for a bit because of the handbrake position.
