Good luck to you.
Not to be rude, but I did do a search, which yields so many results as to be about useless depending on how many different ways you perform the search....which I did, and led me to this thread. If every time I post a question and the reply is to find the answer using a search, it would not only frustrate new members, but defeat the entire purpose of having this forum. I mean why should I make an account and ask about anything if all I need to do is read the entire forum and have all my questions answered. (sarcasm) Again, not trying to be an ass, but 3 times I have been told to use a search rather than have a discussion..it is after all, a forum?

Graham, my wife will also soon attend driving school (car) after the we return home from the Chinese new year. Not sure if the driving school is up to teaching for the new test as I have heard about many complaints. Depending on how long the book is, I may have my friend translate it and post it here for everyone. He has an English school and give each of his teachers some pages to lighten the task of translation, he has done this before for my business documents. He just took the driving test, was shocked that virtually ALL of the questions were NOT from his study manuals and out of the 14 other students that took the test, he and 3 others were the only ones to pass.

Memorization of the test answers is all that matters, even if the correct answer is NOT the right thing to do. As a person who has raced cars (SS Street) and an avid MTB rider, I find the driving here to be an affront to my sensibility....but its strangely amusing and even fun. Inside Xiaolan the police do not care that I drive my little 50cc scooter around without a license but I am exceptionally mindful that its only inside my little town and the restriction to this little space is killing me. I am sure that when I take the test soon, it will not be difficult but I like to be as prepared as I can and all the changes make me hesitant.
