ey guys i've booked in for my HPT for next friday just wanna know if any other ppl out ther have done it, was it easy? what type of question ther are?, and how many Q's aswell? can you get any wrong?? i got a general idea of it from ther site but dosent go into full details really, as they probs dont wanna give it away to much :P

thanks guys

The P1 P2 system is very new in SA and there aren't that many around that have done this test as its so new so don't get ya hopes up.

thanks for that any way m8, also got another Q, with this new system thing, ive had my p1's for a year, then when i get my p2's it says u need them for at least 6 months, now once that 6 months is ova can i apply for 4 my full license or do i have to wait till im 19 ???

thanks guys

You have to wait til your 19, but I dont think you need to display your P's on P2 do you?

[dijm8]

nope which is pretty good cause you dont get picked on so much :P

if your HPT is based on any HPT system as in VIC, its a horrble way to test your sence of judgement.

The software is basic, the conditions are rediculas and its based on how fast you can click a mouse button.

Basically, its the dumbest thing ever created.... i know very confident and skilled drives today, who failed it 3 or so times, why? because it poorly reflects real life conditions.

Other than that.... its fantastic!

Hot tip, if someone can confirm its accuracy to the VIC's model, click when you would, dont try and guess when the computer wants you to click. Oh and sometimes, you need not click at all.... i call em' fakers.

aZk.

ova here we got a touch screen, dnt knw how it works just as yet , but when u click to make a move u gotta click agen to confirm it, so its probley kinda easier to urs in vic, well sounds like it ne way :P

i got my P2's back in March

u just sit down infront of the screen, there is a demo to begin with to let u know what ur in for, then a practice question, then ur into the test.

u just watch the simulation and the question might be: "touch the screen when you think you should apply the brakes". i think in some cases the answer to a question is not to touch the screen at all. i think there was about 10 questions in total, cant remember now... all will be explained for you though

whether u pass or not is worked out on a percentage on how well u did in the questions, something like +75% to pass?

the simulations are pretty pixelated so small things are easy to miss, but it's still ridicuiously easy to pass. waste of time and money IMO but atleast u dont have to worry about P-plates ever again! *touchwood*

See its the opposite here in Vic, its rediculous to see the amount of people fail it. As azk said, its just a joke. I dont see how "click when its appropiate to start braking" is a test of real life conditions, Some people brake lighter than others and some brake a little heavier. I remember a question i got and the scenario was I was driving at 80 kmph and there was a puddle of water on the side of the road, when do you brake? I didnt click anything and went right through the big mean water. I think i got it wrong. I still passed so thats the main thing.

i had a question where there was a lady with a pram in the shaddows, but the screen was so fuzzy that you couldn't physically see it until it was "too late". maybe the results are calculated higher so it's easier to get a pass over here if you get what i mean.

thanks for that crawfy, well it's only costing me $25 which isnt that bad but that cud of went to sum petty
