Sounds entertaining. Is there somewhere we can sit around with a few cold ones and enjoy the spectical?ផោមក្លិនស្អុយ wrote:You can choose auto or manual.chkwoot wrote:Is the crappy Camry an automatic?

I am looking at following Lone Star and doing the ten year test process.
However, if in the next few days it turns out that I can get a one year license from an agent, it will be tempting to just do that.
The test isn’t expensive and isn’t that difficult. The app is decent but there are questions on the test which aren’t on the app. Also some questions are badly translated & just don’t make sense - you just need to memorise the ‘right’ answer.
If, as lonestar says, you are prepared for a few trips then you’ll be ok. If you want to roll up pass it and be on your way then you’ll be incredibly frustrated. The day i did my test, it was all foreigners (unsurprisingly 80% Chinese). Out of 20+ people I saw do the practical test i only saw 3 or 4 pass. Saying that, quite a few of these people simply couldn’t drive - I’ve no idea how they thought they would pass.
One irritating thing is that you can’t do the test in your own car. You must do it in their crappy Camry. For someone who is tall this is a real pain in the ass as you can’t adjust the mirrors - in some of the cars anyway. So, whilst the manoeuvres are pretty simple, if you can’t see properly then they become much more difficult.
Most Chinese people bizarrely seemed to choose the manual, it was hilarious watching them attempt the hill starts.
Fail. Fail. Fail.
One Chinese woman failed within 15 metres of the start. She was in the car less than a minute
