DREAM CAR COME AT ME!

As I am coming up to sending my log book a way I have been looking around for a good first car. I am absolutely in love with Nissan Micras either cream or pink. But before I go into my obsession of these beautiful cars I should probably explain what a log is for those who read my blog and don't live in Australia. Im not exactly sure if anywhere else in the world do what we do before we get our licence but anyway, I thought I'd share what you have to do to get your licence.

We have to wait until we are 16 to take a test which is a learners test that contains 30 questions all about road safety and rules of the road.  You can only get two wrong out of the 30 questions to pass. Luckily for me I got 30 out of 30 right. After the test you get given a log book which you must fill out every time you drive. The photo below is what the log book looks like inside and what you have to fill out.

You have to get up to 100 hours of driving all up (80 Day time hours and 10 night time hours) before you can go for your Provisional Licence. It is actually hard work getting 100 hours. But then theres the Provisional test which can be hard, just depends how confident you are. When you reach 100 hours and you are confident with all the different types of parking and all the things that driving entails then you send your log book a way and it gets approve. Which means if all the hours you've logged are legit. At that time you set up a Provisional driving test. When everything has been approved then you go on your test with a Driver instructor who tells you what direction to go, where to park, where to make a u-turn etc. If the driver instructor is happy with how you went then you get your provisional licence which means you won't need an adult to supervise your driving. You are capable to drive all on your own. Theres probably a few things that I've missed out or haven't explained well but you get the gist of it all.

Now, to my obsession with Nissan Micras. I currently have over 80 hours of driving so I'm nearly there. I just need to get a few more night hours and some lessons on parking and I will be set and driving on my own in know time. I think Nissan Micras are the cutest little cars and I believe it'd suit me perfectly. As long as has an aux cord in it which I can stick my iPod into, I'll be one happy chappy. Fingers crossed that my dad will be kind enough to help me buy this car. And dad if you read this, this is bit is purely for you to read and from me I'm saying wink wink nudge nudge.

So there you have it blogging readers. That is how people in Australia get there licence. 

Untill my next blog. xoxo
