clover leafs? o.o...isn't there like a minimum level of driving competency that you have to pass before upgrading? razz

Um... where there's an over/underpass and there's four different loops to merge onto where you need to go? Forget what they're really called, we just call them clover leafs because from above that's what they look like. Here's a pic of what they SHOULD look like:

Here is a map of one of the most used cloverleafs in Winnipeg (it's the #1 highway - transcanada- meeting our perimeter highway on the west side of the city). Please note amount of merging space and how tight everything is:

Here's the perimeter highway + transcanada on the east side of the city. Same sized zoom. Most people don't use the perimeter highway here because it's too inconvenient, yet the merges are so much better than the super busy west side.

In BC it's NOW:

L(Learners/Losers xd ) for 2 years.
N(Novice/new/nerds xd ) for 3 years. And driving school between the two, and test for the N. And a Test to get rid of the N(Which I haven't taken yet, been able to since last year)
The way I had it, L for 6 months to a full year. N for 2.

Gov of BC recently updated it. Still produce jackasses though sad

i thought its L for 2 and N for 2.5... go for the full license! it so easy here lol. no where near as picky as Terrace lol... and not jackasses.. just dumb idiotic people.

I think it's .5 and 1 here... or something. I dunno. All I know is my one friend hasn't passed her road test to get her full (tried two or three times), another friend also qualifies but has yet to try, and my sister... who is 5 years younger than them could ALSO go for her full I think.

They all want to wait until summer... I did mine at the end of March when it was slippery and wet and not exactly the best day to go and I passed with 25 points (50 is fail). Most of the points I got were dumb cuz I didn't turn my head when I looked or something.

I've been driving with a full license for 8 years now. Haven't had a ticket yet (ok, photo radar ticket but the speed limit sign was hidden behind a tree... should've known to slow down though since I was going from a main route to residential - same street but it changes at a certain block... still not sure exactly where lol)

that's why my driving teacher told me to actually turn my head while doing the test so the person will know I looked..even if I didnt' have to move to look at the rear view mirror or notice people and stuff :p

Ok, but to lose 2-5 marks because of something so stupid as 'not checking around a corner'... which I did... but even if I moved my head he wouldn't have noticed. I'll explain it two ways:

1) 'If straight ahead was 12:00 and behind you was 6:00', the spot I was supposed to check was 11:45

2) Put you left arm straight out in front of you with your hand at eye level. Now look at your middle finger. THAT'S where I had to look.

Rear view mirror check is a WAY bigger head movement than that.
