I learned a lot from my driving class. Personaly I’d be a lot happier people were all required to take a course before getting their license. Even if you’re board and feel like you’re learning nothing, remember that if you choose a good insurance agency, you can get something like 15% off your insurance. When you’re under 25 that’s a lot of money to be saving. ---

mmh driving school are utterly boring for the theoritical stuff. Speed limits, priority, trying to change your common sense… And incredibly hard to meet girls (at least in France) how the hell can you start conversation about _cars_ with a nice respectable girl which wants to go away anyway… But haargh. Learning is a pain. I’m getting my license in 5 month. Until then people can travel without worrying (although we have the highest car accident injuries) ---

my driving school was fun (the driving part was more annoying/boring). We had this little hyperactive cop-lady teaching the class and she told all kinds of stories and when she got excited about one her eyes bugged and she started talking really fast and ranting on about how stupid people were lol, good times, good times. I was probably just lucky 😉 Tips for the road test! - dont speed! (duh lol but its common to miss that) - at a light intersection when turning left, ‘take control of your intersection’ It seems like an agressive approach, but they like that. - in curvier roads, brake before a turn and ease off the break durring the turn. You can even exaggerate this a little bit since it shows them you know what you’re doing. - use your signal and always double check before changing lanes/turning etc. - and lastly but not least, use distraction tactics with stories of your adolescence (keep your eyes on the road though) :beam: ---

“take control of your intersection” lol! sounds like something from a self-help book 😉 [Next page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/driving-school/24081.md?page=2)
