Just got my driver license


Recommended Posts

Actually my brother and my best friend both got it on first try too, so I felt quite a bit of pressure to achieve the same. When I parked the car and the evaluator started saying "I'll give you your license...", it was one of the greatest moments of relief in my life. Then she started criticizing my driving style, but I wasn't listening too much. :p

Is it hard where you are?
Couldn't speak in general. I have friends who tried numerous times and got failed for stupid things each time. At the same time, I made some pretty obvious mistakes during my driving test and still got it. I think trying in the winter is harder, while autumn is probably ideal (best visibility and road condition).

I thought I was the only 1 who got my drivers license late. I got my drivers license like 1 1/2 to 2 months ago and I'm already 21 (all of my friends drive). Going to be getting a car soon myself, probably a 2000 Celica GT for ~$4500 from a friend. The thing that sucks is that it's a stick (learned on an automatic) and driving an auto doesn't even feel completely natural to me yet. Oh well, another obstacle to overcome ;)

But anyway, congrats :)

I remember how nervous I was when I had mine. But, I had the nicest guy. He could obviously tell I was extremely nervous... telling me to "Do what the law tells you" as we approached each stop sign. I was so nervous, I forgot which way I need to move the lever for my left and right turn signals. He's standing behind the car, and he says, "Okay, go ahead and hit your left turn signal". I guessed, and luckily, I was right.

Congrats. Just don't go out there and abuse it like many young people tend to do (drinking/partying comes to mind). Remember: driving is a *privilege* not a *right* (at least in the US and contrary to what many teens would like to think).

Congrats Dr_Asik! (Y)

You're not the only one Se7enVII. I passed my driving test first time in the UK in July and I'm 23 :) I didn't see the point in learning at University as I knew I wasn't getting a car, so I just left it until after I graduated.

you are not the only one and i got my license at 23 as well =P

need a car to work... cant get my friends to drive me to work and back >.>

    • HONOR Robot Phone unveils first Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival by Steven Parker Global AI device ecosystem company HONOR announced on June 13 that its revolutionary HONOR Robot Phone made its professional imaging debut at the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF), demonstrating the result of its mobile videography capabilities for the first time. As the official mobile photography and videography partner of the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival, HONOR empowers this premier cinematic event with cutting-edge mobile imaging technology. Marking the global debut of the first cinematic video it captured, Robot Phone breaks down the boundaries between mobile imaging and professional filmmaking, ushering in a new paradigm for the deep integration of technology and cinematic art. In the video published on HONOR’s official channel (above), Robot Phone was used byELLEMEN to capture cinematic video portraits for the SIFF jury members. With its exceptional stability and cinema-grade imaging capabilities, the device redefines the art of portrait filmmaking, faithfully reproducing the rich tonal gradations and nuanced color transitions associated with film photography. The result is a new level of visual sophistication, creating high-end cinematic imagery that seamlessly blends atmosphere with narrative tension. The video released for the Robot Phone showcases the powerful stabilization capabilities of its built-in gimbal system, delivering exceptionally smooth handheld camera movement while preserving full image quality. By minimizing reliance on electronic image stabilization, the device effectively avoids the image cropping and quality loss typically associated with digital stabilization methods. Representing an innovative leap in form factor, the HONOR Robot Phone features the industry's smallest titanium alloy gimbal, delivering ultra-precision, extreme flexibility, and superior stability. Driven by high-performance motors, the gimbal rises dynamically, breaking free from the physical limitations of traditional camera modules. Combined with advanced AI algorithms that enable intelligent object tracking and various movements with stable shots, the device significantly simplifies video creation and reshapes both the equipment choices and creative habits of modern users. Notably, the Robot Phone will be the first product that features the results of HONOR's strategic technological partnership with ARRI, the world-renowned designer and manufacturer of professional camera technology for cinematic storytelling. From Cannes to Shanghai, the HONOR Robot Phone continues to lead the mobile imaging industry into an entirely new stage of development. Moving forward, HONOR will leverage cutting-edge AI and mobile imaging technologies to unlock new creative possibilities and extend cinematic standards for visual expression from the world of high-end filmmaking to the next generation of content creators.

    • I'll wait for the root cause analysis. Looks like it's HP, Lenova, and certain configurations that are askew, hardly "all of windows." Time will tell.
    • Loading Topaz Photo AI freezes my system since this update...
    • I had issues with my NVME, it was running really slow (like 2/3 mb bandwidth) ... had to reverted via System Restore and all is fine now.
