I guess it makes sense that they wouldn't publish the details.
I think it's a case for a lot of people that they study to pass the test rather than study to retain information or change their habits. That's why I think advanced driving courses/lessons are a good idea. I never had them and ended up failing my first go at one of the practical license tests. I can't remember if it was my restricted or full though.
By any chance do you know which countries have mandatory third party car insurance? I'd like to find out a bit more
That's interesting. I love to know in what way the restricted and full test have changed if there's details anywhere. I don't think anyone drives like they do in the tests. I'm willing to bet if they made everyone take a another practical test when they're 40 or 50, many full license holders would fail.
But is there a point where it's too low that people don't even think twice? I mean currently for anything up to 10km over it's only $30. Even in Australia the lowest I can see is at least $100. $30 is like skipping a takeaway meal or two.
I agree that increasing punishment in every case doesn't always work though. But it just seems too low to me.
I think the fines for speeding here are too low. We should follow some of Australia's pricing if we actually want to discourage speeding. It's clearly not high enough if people can consistently get fines and not even bother to change their habits.
I'm only ok with this if they add mandatory third party insurance or a mandatory defensive driving course.
Honestly it's been so long since I've done my full license test, I can barely remember it. I don't know what it's like now, but I remember people complaining a few years ago how some testing stations are so busy it takes months to sit or rebook a full license test. I don't actually think it's going to make much difference to the quality of drivers we have.. unless policing and fines become a lot stricter.
Oops I forgot to vote.. please forgive me!
Would that not just make US products more expensive for us? Not that I'm buying many US based goods these days.
To be honest I don't even know what are our major imports from America are.
Is that why every now and then I get random errors or just not loading when I'm browsing on desktop? I've noticed it happening more often lately.
Ok I created a Bookwyrm account and did an import, I need to fix some of the dates and matches but seems mostly right. I'm not sure how to share it, but my profile is: eagleeyedtiger@bookwyrm.social
If you decide to create an account, let me know and I'll follow you!
I tried Goodreads but it always makes me feel like I need to write reviews and I don’t want to.
Understandable! I don't think I've ever reviewed anything on there. I only ever do the star rating. But I think 5 stars isn't really enough granularity, so everything ends up almost the same for me. Unless I really don't like it haha.
Mine is mainly all speculative/science fiction as it's probably my favourite genre. I'm guessing there's no NZ instance for Bookwyrm.. I have to join the official one I suppose?
I think we’d have to be careful about what we reposited (reposed?). Shadow libraries seem to be in the crosshairs at the moment including in NZ.
I suppose you're right about that. However I've been using Anna's archive/Z-library/Libgen for a long time and they always come back after awhile if they get taken down. Or they're always available on Tor.
Thanks that's kind of interesting.
However I think this is bullshit.
My dad tried to give me driving lessons when I was going learners > restricted and it just ended up in arguments. I had pretty low driving confidence when I went into the tests, which is probably what affected me. I'm definitely shelling out for lessons for my kids when they're of driving age.
