(Not even going to say "hi", nobody will kiss my ass because of that.)
today i was suposed to make the driving teory exam (wen you go learn driving, you must first learn about the rules, signals, alcool and shit)
And of course, this was one of those great things than cant happen.
I was heading to the exam center, all nervious and shit, and i would need to make an exam with 40 questions in 40 minutes, and i could only get 4 questions wrong, and its an "X's" exam.
Guess what? failed 6 questions.
Fuck this shit man! enough is enogh! in any other day each time i made exams by the internet (wich have the same questions) i would get like 1-2 questions wrong, and sometimes it would even be 0 questions...
Now i failed, and my mother must pay 125 euros (in portugal) so i may continue to go to the exam... but im desmoralized as fuck, it would be suposed to get this exam rigth, but i failed, and my mother doesnt even know (but she will in like 1 hour) than i reproved... also, the next exam will be made in the next moth, and new rules will come... and i decided to make this exam now so i could avoid those new rules i didnt wanted to get (because i was teached with the old ones)
Also, my mother can refuse to continue my driving license (i didnt even drived yet, i just learned the rules) and so my wole thing of having a car/bike and going for my crush highschool with it would be doomed
Basicaly, im 16, and i can take the Bike driving license, and if i take it, i dont need to repeat the rules exam wen making the car license, i will only need to drive it
But if i dont get the rules license, i will not even drive...
I tried to kill myself on my way to home in the beach (there was nobody there) because i just want to give up... hoewer, i came home, and my sister asked my if i passed or if i reproved, and i didnt say nothing, and she is now happy as fuck because she things i reproved and thats what she wants to happen..
I already told my school mates than today i would make the code exam, but wen they ask me if i aproved or reproved, i dont know what to say, and i dont really whana face that situation, so i must make something during this weekend.
What actually frustates me is than if i passed this exam, i would have an big bike (and not those small bikes), and this could help me a lot wen i would make the car license (wich is the same dificult level)
I would make an hard exam, but i would be on a way more better level than anywone else, because few people can actually pass this exam, and if they whana have the car license, they must start it from 0, and not like people who take bike at 16, in wich you only need to drive
Now its fucked up! because anywone else who was in the same place as me would pass this exam, and everywone would look at him like: "ah shit! that guy as an 125cc bike with only 16, and can drive an car instantaneously wen it reach 18! he is cool, ect.."
But now if its me, everywone pretends to get my things bad, and everywone hates me everywrere.
(NOTE: wile i was writing this topic, my sister showed up, taked my bag and just placed it on the sit, i saw her smiling at me because she could calculate i reproved, and i gave an big fucking *slap in her face... then she started to cry, and screamed all over the place: "RETARED! YOU SHOULD GO TO *JULIO DE MATOS BECAUSE THATS WHY THEY EXIST! YOU ARE EVERYTING BAD! YOU ARE RETARDED! MOTHER SHOULD INTERNATE YOU IN A HOSPITAL FOREVER! (...)" and she continued... she was really anoying me, so i gave her more slaps, and i even hanged her, and i tried to manage to take her out of my room, but she still entered an yelled at me the same exaly way)
*- Julio de matos is one well known portuguese hospital for mental sick people.
*- the slap i gave was like an slap in the head, like in the hair... not those big slaps than make people go down and get seriously hurt
Also, i whana know why did you blocked my profile picture? tell me: am i a nazi? did this pic showed porno content? was it promoving violence, or drug adicts?
Oh wait... yeah, you blocked my picture, because im somekind of an extremist motherfucker for you.. yeah, fucking awesome to know than even in a democracy, my photo can be blocked if im dressed as a guy who suports an dictatorialship who pretends to implement nice ideas so everywone can life well and peacefully, rigth even if that dictatorialship didnt even existed... hoewer, i can still put an photo of some corrupt polititian, because no one will get ofended... is that even rigth?
well, i will not even care of what is rigth or wrong... i actually wished if you were the only ones than would treat me this way, but you arent.. also, if everywone is well, and im wrong, who is wrong? its me, so i guess i need to do someting about it in a definitive way
I will not even try to make anyting else, i give up now... but i just need to get a gun, because i cant actually commet suicide winout a gun, its such easier and instantaneously, and once i get it, i may proceed to it
(and dont come tell me about people who had bad problems before... those people had friends, and sucess beind them... why should somewone suicide for driving lessons, if they are rich or have an girlfriend, or have someting better to care about? also, this is my fucking unlucky instinct working, and i will have this my entire life, so im tired, i dont whana life with this anymore.)

And not a single... was given that day.
-
Dont worry.
Not all Portuguese are like him.... ;D
-
So you failed the theoretical exam of a driver's licence and that's the end of the world? Come on...
Also: How old is your sister and what is the age of consent in Portugal?
-
I failed the theory lesson 3 times
Tough luck pal. I worked extra in the weekend to pay for those failed attempts aswel
-
Now I've a headache after reading all that, this kids' depression is infectious.
-
Wow! Why is this guy not banned?
-
He was for a week...
-
I failed the theory lesson 3 times
I failed it the first time, with 5 questions wrong while 4 was allowed. I'm still here :)
-
I did not read entirely his post, but I must say that 125€ for a theoretical exam is quite expensive. I think in Belgium you pay like 15 or 20€ for an attempt. I did pass from the first time, but I think if you want to try again, you're charged the same fee ..
-
In NL it is also something like 100 Euros, not sure what the price is right now. Btw: I was something like 25 or 26 when I failed it, so Damaso has at least 10 years left to try again ;)
-
Can't be bothered to read dzis shit, can someone explain me wtf is going on?
About driving license, here its like 40 euros for both exams, don't remember how much just for the theory, i took both at the same time.
-
whoa you can do both at the same time ? In Belgium you have to wait 3 months and are forced to take lessons after you past your theory
-
whoa you can do both at the same time ? In Belgium you have to wait 3 months and are forced to take lessons after you past your theory
No you are not, only after you fail your practical exam twice then you have to do 4 hours.
-
I think now it's obliged to take 4 hours before you can do the exam. Not a 100% sure, but if you don't need to do it now, you will in the future so ..
-
I'd say that the only acceptable way to fail a UK theory test would be on the hazard perception videos. The (multiple choice) questions require little beyond basic common sense.
-
Also: How old is your sister and what is the age of consent in Portugal?
That. Also facebook and pics pl0x.
My mother who was 45 at the time studied and passed the licence exams where only 1 mistake is allowed. Whats your excuse? Being a little faggot. (no offense to the homosexuals of this community)
-Edit
Also please don't ban him anymore. I'm having way too much fun reading this stuff.
-
Oh you're 16? Then that's not too bad, I thought you were like 19, you'll get out of this shit eventually.
Also having a scooter is not really considered "cool" lol, just annoying.

Belgium does have the second most difficult theory lessons in europe tough. Currently you need to score 46/50 to pass.

Couldn't agree more, this is great! AND its free!

Aah, ok. Well, it was not 2 years ago. To be honest i think soon the 20 hours of classes will be mandatory. And i think it should be, i found it really helpfull.
-
I passed the German test without mistake. Then I failed the practical test :D but second time I passed it.
-
My dream of empire from my frozen queen will come to pass.
-
It happens, when I was in driving school, there was a girl that had already failed the theory part 7 times... She still didn't give up... I passed, but failed the practical exam later...
I still don't trust my driving skills today (since I'm away from my hometown for most of the time because of studies, and rarely get a chance to practice them, with only 1 car in the family).
It's not the end of the world man.
-
Wow guys I am surprised and ashamed at you guys as a community. And Thor you as an moderator should know better.
Stop spreading the lies, Belgians do not have or take driving lessons.
They get that when they buy their first Suske and Wiske comic.
My half yearly road trips for Mattentaarten through the Belgian hell they call a highway proves this.
-
I will not even try to make anyting else, i give up now... but i just need to get a gun
Please don't do that. :(
-
Guy, you really need to find someone in your area to talk with. Internet is not gonna help you, not with these distances. Almost everyone cares but any of us will be able to commit to you as which is needed. You need to vent your problems somewhere closer to you.
-
...Almost everyone cares...
Correction, 1/4th of us are waiting for him to off himself, another 1/4th are waiting for him to be banned, another 1/4th get a good laugh out of reading his posts, and the last 1/4th only cares to a limited extent.
-
Since when did both Damaso and the audience become this hostile twards each other?
However, Damaso, you need to calm and reconsider: is it really important? Will it have an impact on your future (career) if you do the exam twice?
Edit:// And just for the logs:
I passed both driving exams right away on the first try, but the driving instructor stopped counting the number of my driving lessons at 55 hours. I the end I payed those 55 hours, while the minimum required was only 20 hours. I guess that I had maybe 80 hours total.
After all, I learned a lot about driving. :) And I think usage of my right hand improved a lot during that time, since I'm left handed.
-
Relax, you're blowing everything out of proportion. Even some of the most brilliant minds here (me ;D) had to retake the written driving exam... it may be a little demoralizing but nobody really cares. It doesn't go on your record and you'll get it eventually. Pretty soon it'll all be old history... there are more important things in the world to worry about...
-
Who says Asian can't drive?
Passed the test at first attempt biatch! But that's because Aussies are very relaxed and being a car nut actually helps.
BTW, Damaso, failing is cool. You know, kinda badass guy who easily shrug problems off. I failed my exam once, it did give me a huge blow. But then, I let it slide and actually not giving a damn about the shame on the record. Be a guy who just can't give a fuck, don't dramatize your life, just give slightly less fuck about it, and move on. That's how you'll become cooler person.
-
I didn't learn the rules of the road until I was 33, although up until then I had already more than twenty or so hours of experience.
The theory test here is 35 questions long, need a minimum of 12 right to pass on to the road test. Long, boring process.
-
I feel like this video is something you need to see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWVElQ6NfcE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWVElQ6NfcE)
-
He was for a week...
Was that a new record? I don't think I've seen anyone banned faster other than bots or gib pcfic theatre pl0x spammers
Edit-o: Took me three tries at the test. Passed at my second time, permit expired had to retake it, passed. Then got my license the "next day" after passing the actual driving test.
-
Damn look at that, 3 less seconds and I'd had have a 00:00:00 edit.
-

Which is a huge achievement if we have to turn all those youtube videos about russian drivers into some sort of a statistic. ;D
-

Then the critical error ratio to pass is 68%.
Contrary, I clearly remember our error ratio at school exams when I was in college, everything above 6% was a failure.
That explains all the dashcams in russia.
-

Wow, what´s the practical driving test in America about? Accelerate with the right pedal, brake with the left pedal. :o
I passed both driving tests at the first try after 20 lessons, where is my cookie?
And for Damaso some tips to live by:
- Don´t ever hit your sister/or any woman.
- The next thing you will do, is apologizing to her for what you did.
- Stop victimizing yourself. This "everybody is against me attitude" is not going to lead anywhere.
- Stop threatening to kill yourself.
Good luck.

As someone who went near Belgium on vacation two times in the past three years I wish to support NTH in his mission to stop the lies. Belgians DO NOT take driving lessons. Belgian driving licenses are A LIE! I'm not sure about the Suske & Wiske deals but I have seen Belgians receiving a 'driver's license' when they buy 3 packs of coffee.
In NL it is also something like 100 Euros, not sure what the price is right now. Btw: I was something like 25 or 26 when I failed it, so Damaso has at least 10 years left to try again ;)
The practical exam is like 150 Euros. The theory was like 30, wasn't it? Even I'm not sure and I only did it two years ago. I failed my first theory exam with 2 mistakes too many, passed second time and the practical exam took me 20 minutes of the required 30 minutes. I quote "I've seen enough, drive the car back, you passed."
-
I feel like this video is something you need to see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWVElQ6NfcE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWVElQ6NfcE)
One second in: "I didn't, but I still feel all of their plain".
-
First: I didn't bother to read the OP
Second: I passed my theoretical at the first go. Haven't done my practical yet, but that's coming as soon as I know our new-ish car inside out.
Third: I agree with Fuchs and NTH that Belgian drivers can indeed be suicidal maniacs who cannot tell their elbow from their arse.
Fourth: I suddenly want to take the practical test in a tank.
Fifth: Damaso's posts should come with a warning on the sudden loss of mental health experienced by readers
-

Actually I'm in the UAE. In Russia it's a little more than 50 hours of lessons, and you need to get 18/20 questions right, although some people buy fake ones cheap.

The general specifications to it are: Make sure you are checking your mirrors, observe the road at least 5 seconds ahead of you. When changing lanes, flip your blinker on and then look around via mirrors and then physically look behind you, then proceed to get over if possible/safe.
Obey all traffic laws, etc. Before you get onto open road they check to make sure you know the hand signals for turning in case your blinker is out ::) Ask you how far away from the curb you can park (18 inches), have you back up 100 feet while staying in that limitation. Park safely and leave room for other people etc. Be able to use the emergency parking brake, point out gas pedal, brake pedal, how to turn lights on, where the emergency hazard lights button is, how to turn on the lights for night driving etc.
Basically just makes sure you don't drive like a grade A++ fucktard. This is the California driving test though

On a related note, what was that for Bouras?

Nah it wasn't very good. You can't just call somebody a faggot, you need to get more elaborate with it, like here at the end of this sentence, where I explain that damaso is such a horrible driver that they will lower all Portuguese flags to half mast on the day he passes the exam. To put it into perspective, if life was a role playing game, damaso would have put so many skill points into idiocy that he has almost no points left for anything else. He has a -16 points to driving, which means other cars actually instinctively swerve into him and every automobile he starts has a 45% chance of spontaneously combusting. He is such a bad driver that if he ever was to meet Michael Schuhmacher it would cause a matter-antimatter reaction and destroy the world.

Yeah, pretty sure that got lost in translation for the MA and CT drivers, mostly MA....

Yeah believe me buddy, CA is not much better!

Let's see if you will still use homophobic slurs after a few days ban. Because telling people not to and editing posts obviously doesn't work.
Questions anyone? PM me, do NOT post here.
Edit: Including Flippy.

Töris gets so bent out of shape for something like that, it's hilarious.

Damaso, Here is another tip
Read the question 2 times very very well. Now dont look at the answers before you have read the question
Then read the 3 answers (do not make a judgement). I did this, and the first answer i came up with, was often the correct answer of the question. This is how i scored 48/50 on the third try of my theory lesson (you need 44/50 to pass. Now 2 years later it is 46/50)
-
I wat my post back! Or i want thorondor reading it atleast!

I wat my post back! Or i want thorondor reading it atleast!
Read the PM I sent you.
I am NOT amused by the fact that I can permanently ban a racist and people cheer for me, but when I ban a nationalist homophobe bigot for three days all sorts of people crawl out of the woodwork to ridicule me and support the bigot.
There are many a forums where racism and homophobia is clearly banned, and where the use of racial and homophobic slurs is strictly frowned upon. This forums has been mostly clear of such shit, but from time to time some actions have had to been taken. Very rarely it has come to banning someone. Usually a few words of warning is enough.
Another thing that is common amongst other forums is that the actions of moderators are not to be discussed publicly. And most definitely one should no repost material that a moderator has deleted. This should be common sense. Disagreements should be handled first, with a PM to the moderator in question, and if that does not satisfy you, one should take the matter to other moderators and administrators.
Thank you.

Be able to use the emergency parking brake, point out gas pedal, brake pedal, how to turn lights on, where the emergency hazard lights button is, how to turn on the lights for night driving etc.
Emergency parking break as in what normal people call the handbreak? Or are you talking about automatic gears (drive, park, neutral, reverse I guess? Never drove an automatic myself).

That migth work with paper exams but in NL the tests are on a computer. There is a large screen infront of the class and at every table/seat there is a small keypad device to enter the correct answer (A-B-C-D or delete) and you don't have a lot of time to answer the question. Read the question carefully, but even more important, look at the images with much detail too, sometimes the question itself is easy ("who has right of way?" but the image itself may have a rather complex or tricky situation.
I passede my theory exam with ease, I failed my practical exam the first time around though, not too suprising as I was a bit nervous and some and you (I) hadn't yet learned to do all the various manouvres without giving it a second though, thus it all being executed in a bit of a "forced" or "hesitating" way rather then smooth and direct. After a enough hours on the road most of the things will become second nature, or you simply throw some of the knowledge straight out the window... (how many -Dutch- people open their indicator on the highway 600 meters before the exit?).
I'm not sure what all the skills are that you need to show during the practical exam. I believe you need to show atleast two-three of the following: parking in a row (all cars head to tail) , parking crosswise (all cars side by side), reversing, turning in a street, stopping and driving away from a sloped surface, merging into and out of traffic/highway etc. Obviously you need to pay a lot of detail to all the mirrors too: making sure you are aware of all traffic around you before/while performing a manouvre etc. etc.

I found the drivers test in Germany quite ridiculous. It goes like this:
What nasty things can happen in this picture?
[ ] nothing
[ ] a bit
[ ] definitely something
[ x ] holy shit, it´s fucking dangerous
What do you have to do in the picture you see?
[ ] nothing
[ ] be careful
[ ] be very careful
[ x ] respect other drivers, be careful, holy shit - this is dangerous
etc. etc.
The few hard questions were the ones where you had to tell what weight your car is allowed to have with the license and other numbers and to be honest I only knew those when taking the test and for like one week after the test.
-
^ lol, exactly ;D I remember exactly this. The only bad thing was that the day I went there they had new questions (the exact day) and I had one mistake. Pretty sure it was about the question: "You are in a tunnel and you see a crashed car: a)You stay in your car and don't give a fuck, b) I get out and try to help, c) and d) I don't remember but I chose b and I am pretty sure it was wrong ^^ So I know exactly what to do next time: Let them rot ;D
-
Driving test should be a little bit smarter, but they messed it all up.
But still, people can get license in less than 5 hours, right from the start (that is filling an application).
No wonder drivers are horrible here.
-
@Donutz, yeah the handbrake I suppose. I've always called it an e-brake

What kind of silly question is that? :p It all depends on the situation doesn't it? If there is fire/smoke then "GET THE HELL OUT OF THE DAMN TUNNEL!" (and even then, depending on the situation you might be able to drive away or if in a traffic jam, walk away and towards the nearest emergency exit or against the wind direction), you may have time to call the emergency services (112), it may seem wise to offer help or if the situation seems under control you may just continue on as if nothing happend at all.
The Dutch exam is all about who has right of way (I did the exam before all traffic from the right on even-junctions had right of way, certain types of traffic would have right of way and others wouldn't have right of way comming from the same direction), how much profile you need on your tires, at which distance you need to activate the rear foglight, were you can or can not stand still, park, load/unload, which bicycle lanes you my cross or not cross.
But I think some organisations complained that there were too many knowledge and not enough "insight" questions as what would be smart (the "OMG dangerous get the fuck away OR don't do that shit you moron, that dangerous or counterproductive!!" questions or what I would call "damn, how about using common sense?").
My exam was mostly with questions like this (who has right of way? and other such "is this allowed or not" type of questions):
(http://cdniphone.i-culture.nl/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/VW-Rijbewijs-voorrangssituatie.jpg)
Seems like they threw in a bunch of "social questions" if these are real exam questions as one might expect in todays exams:
(http://www.verkeerspro.nl/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/theorie-examen.jpg)
(You need to take into account other road users, how do you do that? A) I let everybody else go first B) I drive defensively and socially C) I drive socially and slow.
Seems like the person who made these questions has a sense of humour though:
(http://www.verkeerspro.nl/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/theorievraaglensmedia-480x360.jpg)
(( What do you do when you see the "caution, wild animals may cross" sign? A) Slow down and open maximum strenght headlights B) Honk, break and open headlights at maximum intensity C) Immidiatly hit the breaks and do not drive any further. ))
LOLLlllllllll. Though all answers are a bit silly, who says you need to slow down, kinda depends on the situation not? And yes you could open your lights but at maximum intensity you may very well blind oncomming traffic or cause any deer that may stand/cross the road to freeze... during the say, sure you could open (maximum?) lights, but when it is dark? doesn't seem very wise.... Regardless, A is the least silly answer but it isn't a perfect answer either. I'd go for option D "I may slow down and I may open my headlights depending on if it seems save to do so, most importantly I will take extra caution while driving along this road".
Which might be tricky, especially when you have only moments to chose an answer, are the difference between "you may" and "you must".
-
It was similar way in Poland (the theory test questions were changed few months ago, so I don't know how it is now). Mostly question about who has the right of way, is it okay to overtake etc. although there were a bunch of questions that you could not answer correctly, the picture/question was misleading and you couldn't "figure it out" you just had to remember the answer :D. Apparently now there's much more pointless questions like "what is the blinking frequency of turning signals?" to make more money out of failing people I assume.

Yes, same here. I failed the first time because I was thinking too much about questions. There was this question with this sign on the picture, next to an open bridge:
(http://www.pen.nl/sites/default/files/imagecache/artikelplaatje/artikelplaatjes/2012/07/10/37028_brugopenmotoruit.jpg)
(Bridge open, shut down engine)
The question was: "Do you have to shut down your engine?" And I answered no, because I had learned that signs which oblige you to do something are blue and this one wasn't. WRONG!! Too much thinking, the answer is yes.
Of course there were some other questions like that, but also very stupid ones, for example a picture of some very snowy boots (all covered in snow on the bottom), and then the question: "Is it OK to start driving when your shoes are like this?" Well, eeehm, let's see, a lot of snow, and... ::)

Meanwhile a STOP sign appears - not blue, must be fake! That's the kind of fucked up shit my brain usually comes up with in any kind of exams too.. Passed the theory test for my driving license with 0 mistakes though 8)

Hehe, but the STOP sign is red, which means danger. ;) While this one is white, and in my case it was even green, of which we all know it is the colour of relaxation. ;D
At least I did my firefighting exam with zero mistakes...

There is normal parking brake, where you have to lift the lever with your hand. This can assist you in power sliding/drifting. And then, there is e-brake or electronic parking brake, this thing is like those you found in pompous Mercedes-Benz cars since 1990s. Instead of a lever, you get a button or a big switch that activates the parking brake indirectly.
That test questions are legitimate though. People in Indonesia, or Jakarta at least, never received proper education on how to drive. For example, they all have no idea of "right of way." In Australia, they use common approach of "whoever comes from your driving side should pass first." So, if you see someone coming from your right side (the steering wheel in Australia is on the right side), you should let them pass.
They don't even know the meaning of road signs anymore. Back in 1990s, we used to study this on classroom, but not anymore. All brats right now only talk big about horsepowers and bodykit shit that they learn from fast and furious, when in fact they can't drive properly at all, some even don't know where is the drivetrain.

Quite off topic now, can we get back to the 16 year old Portuguese kid with suicidal tendencies and off the charts depression? Or is no one interested in that?

I know I've tried to help him many many times. Giving him real and good advice, but it's useless. Every little advice he tries to twist into it being something negative, or just refuse to listen.
Therapy is a reoccuring topic, but he just doesn't reply to those actually helpful posts.

Everything has been said more than once. But he does not understand the message. And he does not see the bigger picture. He is looking at every single tree each, and the more trees he is looking at, the more he is confused and stressed because he can't find the forrest.
We tried everything we could, it is all there in the recent threads, but without longlasting professional help I see no light.
He needs friends that accept him the way he is. They need to be as crazy as he is, but of an opposite disorder. Two opposite disorders can complete each other, they keep each other in check if both personalities are able to influence each other on an equal basis. Best place to find this is some mental institution.
He is 16 years now and the age is crucial, his future will decide in the upcoming years. Basically everything is possible. He might find a way into society. He might find friends, a girl, a job, but he also might end up with drugs and unemployment while living at the railway station. Maybe a mixture of both.

We're not interested any more, methinks. I mean, it's not like we didn't try to help, but there's just no improvement.

I tried to kill myself on my way to home in the beach (there was nobody there) because i just want to give up...
Don't say that. You just haven't found the right method yet. Keep trying. We believe in you.

My guess is the sea regurgitated him.

Alright, that's enough. Lock.
I've had enough of these suicide posts and threads. I, or nobody truly don't want anyone to kill themselves, but these kinds of posts just annoy people. Go seek professional help, if you have thoughts of making a suicide. Next time I see this shit again, I ban you, Damaso, permanently.
Biiviz and Ts4EVER can also next time think clearer when posting something, even though the poster is a some sort of troll.
