Went to do the HPT for my P2 license today (I'm on provisional, red P plate on your car, more restrictions, then it's P2, then it's unrestricted)- had to do this absurd test in front of a computer where they show video of 'real' traffic conditions and you have to touch the screen when you think you should slow down, when it's safe to turn, etc.
I fucked it up- I had no idea what the hell it wanted from me, even though I read the handbook about it- it consistently put up the same situation again and again, or the same question, the screen was small and crappy and resolution was bad, so it was often a matter of early-1990s twitch 'multimedia' gaming as to whether I got it right. What a waste of 30 bucks.

Hey, if you think that's bad, imagine the living hell Federation pilots have to go through when they train to fly the Delta Flyer.Vympel wrote:Went to do the HPT for my P2 license today (I'm on provisional, red P plate on your car, more restrictions, then it's P2, then it's unrestricted)- had to do this absurd test in front of a computer where they show video of 'real' traffic conditions and you have to touch the screen when you think you should slow down, when it's safe to turn, etc.

Yeah, like "What the fuck is this?" or "Why the hell is *that* in here? What does it do?"Kuja wrote:Hey, if you think that's bad, imagine the living hell Federation pilots have to go through when they train to fly the Delta Flyer.

Just for breathing in the air they wanna leave me in the chair
Electric shocking body rocking beat streeting me to death"
