Ladies and Gentlemen, a toast to our valiant Gruppenfuhrer who is now capable of officially being a direct hazard to other road users!

But Herr Kommandant does not own a Tank Destroyer yet, does he?

He is only a minor traffic hazard until he is in possession of one

Schroeder · 04-01-09, 09:35 AM

Er, isn't that a Wolverine tank destroyer in the video?

Yep it is

The Wolverine is based on the Sherman (IIRC), and looks very similar to certain variants of it, so it's not such a big error

Cheers Oberon

the exam went well, thought driving with a examinator in your neck is somehow a bit different...works a bit on your nerves.

but who needs a tank to be a danger for the traffic.
not me

I have something else to terrorize the streets...

well....

Oh crap Hunters passed his driving test

Malaga's out of the question as a holiday this year

congrats

Congrats on you passed test.

Yes, driving with an examiner is really nerve wrecking. Especially since you are completely at the mercy of him (they can always find something to let you fail and here in Germany a lot of people have to do their test twice or even more often

...that gets money to them....).

Seems to be the normal thing these days, I know a driving test examiner, and he told me a long time ago they have targets like any other business' so they got to fail so many. which is all wrong

Schroeder · 04-01-09, 02:03 PM

Don't tell me, I've first hand experience.

It went so far here that some examiners aren't allowed to enter some driving schools any more because the driving instructors were fed up with those guys letting their students fail for nothing and throw them out.

everyone told me to go to chadwick (a half-hour north from here) because Chadwick was a small town, and i would be thru the test in about 20 mins...

he was an ex-marine
(the marines say there is no such thing, but you look at the guys gut...you have to wonder)
who criticized everything i did ("AHEM, you are doing 26 around this turn!" "The limits 25, but okay.")and then did this
left turn, yield
left turn, yield
left turn, yield
left turn, "you missed that stop sign, I have to fail you"
the stop sign was partially obscured by the branch, there was no way of noticing it until you saw the one on the other side.

so i went to my hometown DMv, had a chat with the nice old lady there, took a spin, and got my mug on a drivers liscense
