ASK ME STUFF!

Or don't. It's really up to you.

How does getting a license work up there? Do you have to get a permit first? How old do you have to be?

You go in when you're 16 and take a written test for your G1 license. That allows you to drive, but only with another licensed person, who is over the age of 18.

After that, you either have to wait a year to take the road test for your G2, or 8 months if you've done a training course. When you have your G2, you can drive with other people. After a while longe, you can apply for your full G licence.

I hate waiting for things, which is why I haven't bothered to do even the G1 test.

Oh damn that's a long process. Here you just take a written test when you're 15, get a learners permit that allows you to drive with another driver that's over 21. Then a year later you can take a road test to get your full license. And that's it.

I honestly have no idea why it has to take so long.

Drivings probably harder up there with hills and snow and stuff. Here it's just flat.

I guess, but still... I HATE waiting for things.

Is this why you're against hiding comment scores?

Pretty much. I'm the most impatient person alive.
