Yes! Fuck Yeah!

[Prometheon]

I just got my G2 today, after failing it 3 times due to stupid bullshit. And it feels grrrrreeeeaaaaaattt.

 

This topic is designed to give you all a place to express how amazing I am. Discuss.

[Daedalus]

Congrats!! They make sure everyone fails at least once, money money . . .

 

I managed to get my G2 first try, but failed my first G attempt for not looking both ways at a green light . . .

[Prometheon]

I know, it's such bullshit.

 

The first time, I admit, I wasn't ready. And it was during the worst blizzard of the year. So I ull up to a stop sign, try to stop, and the brakes just don't work. I skid right through the intersection. THAT was bad.

 

Then I failed for not looking both ways at a railroad crossing. Except I did look both ways. Apparently I didn't do it 'soon enough'. Frigging thieves.

[borntohula]

the roads of mississauga belong to me and me only.

[Computer]

I really wish I would have got my G1 sooner. I'm getting my G2 on tuesday pending any bullshit failure.

I was one of the first people to go through that process in 1994 and I passed all phases on my first try. Yay me!

[Prometheon]

i thought you were older..

Well I'm 19 in Septmeber. I just kinda failed for awhile. Then again, I dunno how old you thought I was.

 

And I am the king of `sauga biatch! DOn't make me meet you for a Square 1 throwdown

[Crusader]

We have birthdays in the same month.

Excuse me for being ignorant, and since I haven't lived in Canada for awhile, and never in Ontario, what the hell is a G2? Another word for driver's license?

[Prometheon]

Yeah, pretty much. It lets you drive without an adult in the car basically.

[Lauren]

g1- can drive with someone who has had their g (highest licence level possible)for at least 4 years

g2- can drive without anyone else. no alcohol allowed in vehicle

g- full driver, can have alcohol, etc.

[Computer]

I hate our graduated licensing system.

i just got my g2 last week, too.

 

i was supposed to do it on wed but my fucking brake light was out. it totally wasnt out when we left!

so i did it on friday, and passed the shit out of it.

[Ravenous itchy]

"graduated", I would assume.

[little miss sunshine]

Yep, graduated, that's what it stands for.

 

For the life of me, I couldn't figure out why my licence had 4 red squares below my picture, then someone told me that it meant I was allowed to be the "front seat passenger" for someone with their G1. Very exciting. I would then let my 18 year old friends drive my hung over ass around. Good times.

[Shiri]

Congrats! It works quite similar here but I think that there it's more strict...

Ah, I too was wondering what the hell you were talking about.

 

 

I always thought it was

 

L- Learner's (You get it at sixteen by writing a written exam, and can drive with an adult in the car and one other passenger besides family)

N- New (you don't need an adult, but are only aloud one passenger besides family)

 

And then you have your license.

[Prometheon]

Psh, you can have Streetsville. I hate every fucking inch of it.

 

You didn't go to Streetsville Secondary did you?

 

To everyone else: Yeah, the Canadian liscencing system sucks balls.

[Ruettiger]

In Calgary it's;

Learners - only drive with a licenced person age 18+

Graduated licence - drive by yourself, can't drive between 1-5am, 0 alcohol tolerance, your last year of the 2 year probation you can't get a any tickets or the probation is extended (I believe that's how it works) then you have to take another test for the full licence.

g1- can drive with someone who has had their g (highest licence level possible)for at least 4 years

g2- can drive without anyone else. no alcohol allowed in vehicle

g- full driver, can have alcohol, etc.

With a G license, you can have alcohol in the vehicle? With any license, that doesn't sound like a good idea. Here in California, they'll pull you over if you have an unopened bottle of liquor / beer in the backseat.

Not like I'd ever drink and drive though, I just find it funny you can have a license that will let you do that.

I know that with a full G you can have some blood alcohol, just a low amount. Wheras with your G2, you can't have ANYTHING. If you go to the bar, have 2 beers, and then try to drive an hour or two later, you'll be screwed.

[_Andy_]

g2- can drive without anyone else. no alcohol allowed in vehicle

incorrect. you can have alcohol in the vehicle, unopened of course, you just can't have any alcohol in you(tee-hee), the driver.

 

I got my G a year or two ago, I also passed all my tests first time through. You kids that fail just suck at the drive, and it's therefore good they fail you.
