    Fanbloodytastic, congrats. Now the hard part starts! Keep your nose clean as you'll now be a magnet for highway patrol on red P's.

    Well done, cheers.

    Congratulations mate, you're not going to know yourself with a license now.
    So much freedom, it's great!
    Congrats again.

    Don't do what I did. Pull out of traffic without a big enough gap and gunned it through 1st 2nd and 3rd gears (like a racecar driver) got told it was 'slightly dangerous' but other than that, the other 1 hour and 10 minutes of my test were perfect.

    Keep a cool head, don't overthink it.

    Yep that's about right, any defensive driving course will tell you the same, best practice is to not grip the wheel but have have your palms on the wheel with your thumb facing out and grip with 4 fingers, in an accident you're likely to tense up and clench the wheel and if it's a sudden stop..... as you said, you'll most likely break your thumbs if there's enough force


    and grats on your p's, i'll be sure to stay off the footpath when i'm in your area :p
