    Seemingly trivial error leads to driving test failure - what we can learn

    Seemingly trivial error leads to driving test failure - what we can learn

    Sorry Terence, I agree with Loads..I was a driving instructor and a Tester for a period. I never allowed my student to change lanes in the middle of an intersection. The addition of a lane on the exit road become a center lane and the driver should continue in the right lane. He must have needed...

    Not Typical Queensland at all. Try NT, WA or even SA, although I do agree Qld Signage has a lot to be desired.

    Seemingly trivial error leads to driving test failure - what we can learn

    I agree with this reply, it is definitely a fail. In Brisbane, the very same type of intersection and I did what the learner did .. It seemed to be a straight line through the inteersection. I ALMOST wipe a motor cycle rider by going straight ahead. I believe he changed lanes IN THE INTERSECTION...

    You won't believe where this ‘futuristic’ food gadget really comes from - Hint: It's not Japan!

    In 1902, Lawrence Hill in Adelaide invented the Hills Hoist Rotary Clothes line. Almost every backyard in Australia had one. They were tidier and far more space saving. The biggest impact of the world was the Victa Lawnmower.. before the rotary mower the world was using PUSH mower. In 1948...
