Finally PASSED the UK driving test (srs) (pics)

If you live in the countryside or middle of nowhere then yeah.

Half of 18-35 year olds that live in the city don’t even have a pink license.

Which means 50% do... lol

It's a big deal for you, because you've failed so many times, but in wider society passing your driving test at nearly 30 is minor. Why you always gotta be so disingenous to try to trick the yanks into thinking UK is just so magically different?

Yet again comparing yourself to the lowest common demoninator

The point I’m trying to make there’s a huge cultural difference with driving in the UK vs US.

Over here if you start a convo about cars IRL first thing people ask ‘do you drive?’ vs Murica ‘what car do you drive?’

To a lot of the yanks not driving is seen as unfathomable where’s in the UK it’s quite common.

Congrats mate. Welcome to the pink licence crew.

Yeh hoping my pink license comes this week, then will fell like a true mogger.

[Vascularmanlet]

Logistics achieved.

Yeh logistics are all coming together this year.

[Vascularmanlet]

Do not do that. No one in an A1 or even an A3 looks like a mogger. At best you'll look like a school girl. Also, a new Civic will be nicer interior and exterior than a 5 year old A3. It will also last longer and give you less issues.

Congrats on finally passing. Get the rest of your life in order.

Yeh but I’m a big fan of Audis and like the look of them.

I’m not buying one to impress other people.

You don’t understand the logistics of the UK m8.

OK fine. I work next door to the British High Commission here in Ottawa. I can pop in there sometime for a visit and learn all i need to know.

Unless someone stays in Northern England for a prolonged period of time they’ll never know what it’s like.

Completely different world for the US/Canada brahs.

You're forgetting Canada is part of the Commonwealth. Just like Australia.

And all you mentionned in your post was "logistics of the UK". I can get all that by visiting the British High Commission.

In UK, passing a driving test is akin to getting a PhD in Theoretical Physics from an elite university.

Yes you are. No one buys an A3 because they love Audi. For example, I'm sure you don't know that the A3 is an FWD car. Even if you get a Quattro variant you're getting front bias with a Haldex rear differential instead of a true Quattro Torsen setup.

Don't buy a luxury car until you can afford a new one.
