Ms Becky Posted December 13, 2005 Report Posted December 13, 2005 Hmm. There's just so much to think about at the same time, and everytime there's a major problem, I have a habit of just letting go of the steering wheel and squealing. Which isn't good. Manual, damn the clutch to hell. And yeah, we have to have L plates on somewhere, but my instructor has a sign thing on top of his car. Are P's for your first year after passing? I don't think we have them here.
discodudette Posted December 13, 2005 Report Posted December 13, 2005 Yeah P's are what you get after you pass and when you can drive by yourself. The amount of years your on your P's differs in each state. Here in WA your on your P's for a year, so I'm half way through!! I got my manual license aswell. Its the best way to go.

I don't even think about gearing (is that the right word?) and anything else when I drive now. Clutch: my boyfriend has a really good of explaining the use of the clutch. I'll ask him to write it to you later.
discodudette Posted December 13, 2005 Report Posted December 13, 2005 I hate stalling, burn-outing by accident or kangaroo-hopping with a manual! When once you learn the clutch and changing gears it comes so natually! Like going down to 2nd when your turning corners and stuff.
Ms Becky Posted December 13, 2005 Report Posted December 13, 2005 Kangaroo hopping? Oooh, Majohn, that would be great, I *really* don't understand it at all, despite having it explained to me about 5 times I've never heard of gearing, most people say 'changing gear'.
MarMar Posted December 13, 2005 Report Posted December 13, 2005 ok, changing gear, then... (sorry, English is my third language) I'll ask him when he gets home
Ms Becky Posted December 13, 2005 Report Posted December 13, 2005 I thought it was second, you're even better at it then! <- in awe. Cool.
MarMar Posted December 13, 2005 Report Posted December 13, 2005 Hehe.. I guess I'm bending the truth a little . In Noirway have two written languages: the "classic": bokmål and a "new", made up from the different dialects made in the late 19th century: nynorsk (basically 'new Norwegian'). All children have to learn both forms in school, but I suck so much at nynork, and find it difficult (escpecially the grammar), so I really feel that my best laanguage of the two, nynorsk and English, is English
Ms Becky Posted December 13, 2005 Report Posted December 13, 2005 Interesting. So does everyone in Norway speak Norwegian, or new!Norgegian?
MarMar Posted December 13, 2005 Report Posted December 13, 2005 Most people speak dialect, but the majority write in bokmål. However, there are the "fanatical" few who both speak and write in nynorsk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nynorsk
