    ^ I thought you must take the practical lesson first before the actual Llicense is given to you?

    ^ Nop, in Canada (Quebec), we have 2 options.

    1. Take courses and you can have the exam in 8 months but need to dish out about CAD$400-500.
    2. Practice on your own and have the exam in 10 months.

    The 2nd option is what i did, didnt feel like paying that amount for something that wasnt an emergency. :)

    ^^" We can take the practical exam after at least 16 hours of driving lessons. Plus we must pass the written exam first, which you can also take right away. Why the long wait?

    You going to drive me around when i visit -whistle

    Thats what i like about Asia, everything is faster...Canada is like in the back ages, i dont know why we have to wait so long but thats how the policy is set in Quebec. At least its better than Ontario in comparison. They have to gradually progress from one license to another before they can drive on highways whereas once we get ours, we can drive wherever we like.

    Hmmm... but isn't that like encouraging people to drive without license?

    We progress from 1 license to another too. Starts with an L for a beginner. You're not allowed to have any passengers in your car except your instructor at this time. When we pass we have P. For Percubaan. For trial I guess. After 2 years we get a competent license.

    petrol in UK is extortion, most of the cost is tax...

    97p per litre....

    or nearly US$2 per litre....

    that isnt extortion, thats about the same as what north americans pay... and you get way better octane gas then we do in N.A. fuken Euro bastards with their high octane >_<

    yeh i think netherlands pays the most

    are you sure US is almost same as UK?

    we are almost $2 per litre not gallon

    so we are talking $6-8 per gallon in the UK

    lucky<_<, you wait, im gonna go on a huge shop to get my 5p off!!!

    yeh it changed this month, but it wont be harder, just take more time, so it should be ok for peeps
    agreed 50 questions is nothing considering how easy they are. you need 1 thing to pass the question section in a theory Common Sense!!!
