[blahZ]

wish u luck mannn its easy

[xntrik]

Same rules as auto P's?

[est1989]

never put the car into neutral whilst on the test.

[DreadAngel]

Its all in the handbook, read it...

[95civic]

What ever you do, dont speed. To make things easier for yourself, if possible choose a time of day when its not busy on the roads.

[Jamezy]

wish u luck sam :thumbsup:

[DreadAngel]

Read the Handbook for what the examiner will be looking for, be confident but not eager ;)

If you're a nervous wreck, you're more than likely to blow it, the examiner will see right through you.

Be strong and don't let the pressure get to ya, I passed it first go @ Parra with a tough examiner.

[xntrik]

Pro. :thumbsup:

[mr_vtec]

just dont panic and like some one said already dont put it in neutral anytime...

[irusti]

Remember to check your mirrors when indicating. esp 3 pt turns.

[tiksie]

Drop the clutch, 4-5000 revs, let go of clutch.

[G3RA1D]

did my test at ingleburn too.
one of the easiest place to do it. :thumbsup: hardly any cars on the road when i did my test.! just the ones parked on the side. lol

Did mine a few years back but if they still take u through the same course. Be careful around that area which goes past the shops. Speed limit is like 5 or 10km/h. so hard to keep the car travelling at that speed.! lol

[blahZ]

WOW u don hav ur licence yet but u own 2 cars

[steve88]

make sure vtec doesnt kick in while parking

[Lex_EG93]

dude the best thing to do is u get urself a lesson from an instructer. he or she will tell you the trick of the trade and this way u wont have to worry about if ur doing it right or wrong.

the lessons are on like 45 bux and if u get one from ur area he/she will show you the route u go wen u actually do the test.

better be safe that sorry. would rather spend 45 on an istructer rather than failing and payin another 150 to do the test again. . .

hope that helps

150$? WOW!! i thought it was only 43$

[DreadAngel]

I think he means with hiring instructor's car?

[kazam]

yeh thats true.. 1 lesson is always enough jst tell em u want them 2 treat it like the actual exam.. 1 hour is plenty considering actual test only like 20 or so minutes depends on how u drive

[honda_zivic]

1. put da key in ignition switch
2. turn key to acc
3. turn up da stereo
4. put da seats all da way back and seat belts on
5. chuck sunnys on
6. start engine
7. rip a burnout on 1st gear
8. pull da handbrake when turning at each corner or while ur driving straight at 80km/h
9. u should pass 100%

[Lex_EG93]

150$? WOW!! i thought it was only 43$

wen u add it up for booking then failing then booking again itll be around that price. . .

[j0s]

good luck!!
don't speed, remember to stop at stop signs (duhh but some people forget) and look in the direction of travel - i.e. if you're reversing to look over your left shoulder

[xenonkuraz]

Do you have to down-shift up there in Sydney?

It was necessary for me to down here in Melbourne.

[kazam]

yeh we got it to... so u cant just put it in nuetral and roll to the lights... as i do now...

[xenonkuraz]

As most people would do :P you've got to love all the steep slopes ;)

[Samm928]

rofl, im so stuffed. ingleburn is booked out for another 1 1/2 months! so i got it at wetherill park. i got my manual instructor for $35 p/hr. gonna do 1 hr with him and do the test with my uncles toyota bright red starlet life =D wear my glasses and look like a dumb **** and get my p's!.. if its fat driving instructor i'll talk about food if shes pretty i'll talk about make up and pedicures HAHAHA!! but yeh thanks man, i got a pretty heavy foot especially because driving over 200Hrs legit now. kinda disobey the road rules as im too use to the road?


dropping the clutch dude :
this guy went to fairfield RTA to get his manual's p's test 4years back my sis was telling me.
he was on the highway which was 70kmph and the RTA officer was in the car.. he was topping out 140kmph. wacked a $2000 fine and suspended from driving at all for 2yrs and then he had to do his learners again =) so 2 1/2 yrs of not driving haha badass =)

should i turn off engine in gear 1 ? or turn off engine in neutral and then put it in gear 1 ? :) thanks guys great help

i got 2 cars. im a baller what can i say...HAHAHA. *big headed*

[kazam]

turn off in 1st i belive

[xtat1k]

theres always a stop sign as soon as u exit the rta, remember that :)

[Lex_EG93]

if its booked out in inglburn then do it in livo. i did mine in livo. its pretty easy there too. bit harder in ffld cuz of all the traffic. . .

ooo and dont forget dont go too slow either eg goin 50 in a 60 zone. he can fail you for that too. . . .

[domin8]

remember to listen carefully to the instuctor aswell wen his sayign go left or right

Make sure you also have your seatbelt on too .. :)

and don't forget to signal out of all roundabouts as you are leaving, you'll lose points for that - even if its a tiny suburban roundabout

[Samm928]

oh ok thanks bro :) it helps :D

[JDM.Power]

theres always a stop sign as soon as u exit the rta, remember that :)

theres one at whetherill?

[aimre]

My tip, if u fail, dont book another test, you shouldnt be on our roads

[xedent]

Yeah man, you will be right, im in QLD and when i did my reverse park i hit the curb lol the lady didn't car lol :) But when reversing make sure u don't look forward until u have completely stopped.

Good Luck !

[vtec-NA.th]

When I did my P's test a year ago it was pretty easy. I stalled twice and still passed! Just make sure you act like you're really confident (but not cocky) and when you do make a mistake just fix it and don't full panic. I think that's the main thing. Oh and also make sure you keep an eye out for all signs and school zones. Must stop at a stop completely at a stop sign...

Also when reversing look back and don't just use your mirrors. I tend to do that...

[DreadAngel]

Meow! Claws are out, but he's right though, if you fail your manual license test, that means overall your not experienced enough so go back and practice :p

[steve88]

i got my Ps first go, you know you're ready for them when you just don't stall anymore. i mean its one thing to just LEARN driving (ie. right turns at T intersections = hard with no traffic lights). but its another thing too do them without thinking TOO much.

learn to be calm, today i had to do right hand turn on a very busy road both ways, so i had to g oacross 2 lanes (the cars gave me space), then i had to make my turn right, but then it was too busy and the car lanes i blocked off to turn right started moving so i had to reverse out, and try again. it was my first of that "complicated" ever but i took it fine because i had a calm mentality, imo once you have that confidence (but not overconfidence) then youknow you can do it.

mind you i was a bad boy, i drove ALOT around on my own in the manual while on my Ls. i would drive to uni, work etc. I did it purely cause i was convinced it would boost my confidence. and it did, i stalled less with nobody in the car. i felt less pressure, and now on my Ps. no accidents ever, i have been in one caused by someone else, ive prevented HEAPS caused by others.

[LaZaZaL89]

Yeah I got mine at hornsby rta first go... Pity it was in a auto so i cant really help ya much but... Probably dont try and make small talk with the instructor, my friend did that and got in trouble for being too "distracted" from driving...

But yeah good luck!
