I just hold the keys upside down and press the wrong button 😛 (I did that on my test too. I tried to unlock the doors but I was pressing the wrong button and was locking them instead)

@N1ghtW1ng aw sounds like you had a good driving tester 🙂 I would probably do the same thing in my test ....too scared to book it lol.

@RevzZ omg I am the same with locking the car and even other people's cars if I have left anything in their car I just get so paranoid about people stealing my stuff

I took like a hundred paint colour swatches from Bunnings. Not sure what to do with them yet, but they're pretty Smiley LOL

@DruidChild that's so cool. Where they free? Maybe you could make a pretty collage of colours! 😄

@May_ I think I'm lucky he didn't notice me speeding slightly (by a few km/h) down one stretch of road. It was only for a few seconds... 😛

@j95 starfish are so weird 😛

So this workshop job that I went for a few months ago is finally being finalised. Now that I can drive, I contacted them again and next Monday is the first one. 🙂 I have yet to tell my mum though...

That's cool about the workshop job! I hope it goes well 🙂

@RevzZ hahaha that's so funny.
We were working down at the coast today and I was hanging around in some rockpools as a bit of a break and I couldn't believe it when I saw it

@j95 That was exactly my reaction when I saw a starfish. I was like whhaaa!!! It's actually shaped like a star and it's an actual animal? Did you see any other cool sea creatures?

I was like omg everyone come look and they weren't as excited as I was 😞 @RevzZ I didn't see any other sea creatures but I did find some absolutely beautiful waterholes and rock pools - some deep enough to swim in. I sometimes surf down at that beach so next time I'm there I think I might go for a little dip. There was so many cool caves and hide outs!

RevzZPosted 08-02-2017 03:35 PM

That's awesome @j95! Exploration is one of those things we just can't grow out of and finding hidey holes and waterholes is absolutely bliss. Maybe they've just spent too long looking at sand haha.

Oh nice, you surf? Got any tips? Smiley Tongue I'm not exactly the best at it so perhaps you've got some awesome tips for...staying on the surfboard?

That sounds so awesome @j95, I would definitely be excited if I saw one! I used to be very interested in marine biology 😛

The fin plugs will need lots of repairing before he can take it back out again. The funny this is he wasn't driving his own car with roof racks it was his mums so he just tied the surfboard down with occy straps which was pretty dumb hahaha @Autumn23

I haven't actually driven with the handbrake on (yet :P) but one time I forgot to put it on when parking, turned off my engine and the car started rolling backwards haha. Thank God there weren't any kids or whatever behind me because that may not have ended well...

@lokifish @j95 @Autumn23 I was so ready for my test, once the examiner got into the car, I put the car in the reverse and turned on the engine. The examiner was like, "what are you missing?" and then I realised that it needed to be in park! Thankfully it didn't matter at all on my test 😛

@N1ghtW1ng One thing that gets really funny is when you've driven so often you forget whether you've locked the doors after you get out. I hope I'm not the only one doing this though Smiley Tongue

lokifishPosted 05-02-2017 08:40 AM

@RevzZ you're definitely not the only one - I'm always paranoid that I haven't locked my car and go back to check like ten times. It's an obsessive compulsive thing haha

j95Posted 04-02-2017 05:03 PM
@N1ghtW1ng yeah the board is in ok condition thankfully, could of been really bad!!
That's ok that you drove with your handbrake on, happens to all of us and isn't really dangerous or anything! well done on your driving, you're doing awesome 🙂

lokifishPosted 04-02-2017 06:29 PM

@N1ghtW1ng don't worry, more times than I care to admit I've tried to put the car into gear and then wondered why it's not working - it's because I haven't even turned the damn engine on hahahahaha. Nearly 3 months since I got my licence and I'm still getting the hang of things

j95Posted 04-02-2017 06:37 PM
@lokifish @N1ghtW1ng once I turned the car off when it was still in gear, I turned the key to off and I was like what the... there's something weird happening here haha
 
N1ghtW1ng
N1ghtW1ngPosted 04-02-2017 08:51 AM

@j95oh wow! That is a really funny story.

I am about to drive on a main road for the first time by myself... Naturally, I'm scared 😛 It's not like I haven't been on the road before, but that doesn't mean I'm not nervous. Just 30 minutes of me, the road and other drivers.

 

EDIT: I made it. 🙂 I was halfway down a minor/main road when I realised I'd forgotten to put on my P plates. Thankfully I managed to turn into the estate, pull over and fix it. Then, and don't tell anyone, I accidently drove with my handbrake on, not the whole way, but it probably was for too long :(. Ugh, I'm such an idiot and should not be allowed to drive. But I survived 😛 And that's the important thing.

Yep totally been there too @N1ghtW1ng!!! One time I was borrowing my mums car and accidentlly left the hand brake on, and drove all the way into town before noticing the little red handbrake light was on the dashboard - but didn't actually KNOW it was the handbrake light, so CALLED MY MUM to be like "hey, why's this little red light on with an exclamation mark in it?" and she's like omg you're driving with hand brake on!!!!!!! Such a dill Smiley LOL

 

Hahaha @j95 wowzer that's a crazy story!! Was your friend's surfboard ok???? I bet they'll never make that mistake again Smiley Wink
