Worst car i ever had.......
Dont know, it spent most of its time on a low loaderWhat was the speed stats on that beast.
After reading a other post I'm interested to know what was your first car?
I remember having to show my examiner my knowledge of the range of hand signals required if the indicators didn't work or, if they broke down, when I did my driving test. Kids today wouldn't have a clue.
In the 70s the NZ test was in three parts, all tested by police officers.I didn't know hand signals had been dropped from the test, but you're correct, they have been.
Having said that, it's my belief that the driving test is a whole lot harder these days than it was back in the seventies, when I took it. There was no written test back then, just two or three random questions about the highway code. I can remember confidently identifying the uneven road surface sign as "double hump-backed bridge".
In the 70s the NZ test was in three parts, all tested by police officers.
First was a written multi choice paper with 25 questions of which you had to get 23 correct.
Second was an oral test of 5 questions of which 3 had to be answered correctly and only then could you do the practical test which involved driving the police officer around town for an hour whilst he made notes.
The oral test could be quite difficult. My test as one question was "Name 5 things relevant to towing".
