Another thread got me thinking about this. What's the road test for licensing like in your city?
I live in Vancouver Canada and it's pretty tough. Only 18% of people pass the first time I'm told. Took mine yesterday and passed. Test was about an hour long and they follow you in a van. You have a speaker attached to your shoulder so you can hear instructions. The test involved city, residential, and highway riding. They take you through school zones and all kinds of other signed areas. They check for correct head movement at every launch, intersection, and turn. I managed to pass with only 2 minor head movement deductions. I owe that to the excellent school I attended, Pacific Riding School. My friend in Seattle told me about his road test (which he failed 3 times) and it sounded like the basic learners' license test here! All he had to do was ride around some cones and do a U-turn! I think nerves got to him
