Thai driving license theory test

[Bogon]

Gonna dig for a Thai version, but if she can memorize this it may help?

[Bogon]

Think this may be it...

No missus in the house to correct me.

Translates to Driving license exams 2561 (this year)

I've had a 1-yr and am on my 4th 5-yr license, always taken the colour and pedal tests, last time took some weird vision test and had to sit through a boring as fcuk 2-hour traffic porn video, but touch wood have never been invited for a theory test. Have the gods been playing dice with the testing requirements?

[Bogon]

^ The theory test is only for new drivers or those that have let their licenses expire for over a year, so they have to start from scratch.

[Dillinger]

Mine was on a computer terminal. I think the answers are random anyway.

In the new test, there are 90 questions instead of the old 80, of which you will get 50 randomly to answer on your test.

Jabir, she is going for bike test now for first time, so she will have to sit theory test, although i only did one theory for bike and car but on same day.

Bogey, i think thats the one. Nice one

Farang are able to get away with shit, as they're viewed special......

Farang are able to get away with shit, as they're viewed special......

Most farangs drive better than the average Thai. I am very special and if you do not think that you, yourself, are similarly special, then you suffer with a great inferiority complex. If this is so, you are an inferior being because that is your own definition of you. You are not special so you are inferior - quod erat demonstrandum.

Would be quite helpful if you acquired some knowledge on said subject matter, instead of making shit up.

I have been driving in Thailand for over twenty years and know that I drive better than most Thais. I know a beautiful lady in Bangkok who is probably the best driver I have ever had the privilege of sitting with. She taught me a technique of driving in Bangkok which allows quicker movement through the city. Although I understand all that she showed me I feel that I should stick with my established technique. I am too old to change and my reflexes are not what they were. I am still better than 99.999% of Thai drivers.

Would be quite helpful for you to pull your head out of your arse and ask yourself why Thailand leads the world in road fatalities.

Just another topic you're clueless on, it's almost embarrassing to see a Farang so disconnected...

[cyrille]

I got a driving licence about 20 years ago from a testing centre just off Sukhumvit Pattaya. Somewhere around the area of 'Mini Siam'.

Four of us went down there together, the whole thing organised by a Thai administrator where we worked.

They'd circled the answers to the multiple choice test in pencil, and we just went over the circles in biro.

Then a test for colour-blindness.

No actual driving.

Sorted.

We were out of there in about 20 minutes.

Tbf 80% of those accidents involve motorcycles.

My Thai missus driving is far superior to the English ex who wont drive on motorways even though she's been driving 25 years.

If you can drive in Bangkok with all the traffic and scooters around you, where the wife learned(alone) I think you can drive anywhere.

[Norton]

Taught my lady to drive several years ago. Suggested she get the free study books for the written test, study then go take the test. She did and passed with flying colors.

The test is not rocket science Dilly. I know extreme outside the box thinking for Thailand but suggest your missus try the same.

[Hugh Cow]

I have always assumed that you give way to the right. It appears its is the left in Thailand, God knows why.

[Dillinger]

^ to accomodate the mocys that fly out without looking right and Somchai driving his sidecar the wrong way up the hard shoulder, I'd guess

^^ she's good at that

[OhOh]

Somchai driving his sidecar the wrong way, at night, up the highway hard shoulder, with no lights on

FIFY.

[Headworx]

^You forgot pissed/high/both.

[Dillinger]

^ and asleep

The Thai version was / is based on the UK's "Highway Code", inaugurated or at least credited to the late King. If you have ever passed the UK driving test, you should know more than most Thai cops about the supposed 'laws of the road' here.. But don't quote me if ever you're in the shit.

[Dillinger]

Doomsday today.

She mentioned 5 hour training- which luckily us Farangs dont have to do

Off for a soapy

[Dillinger]

Wife's not happy, came out with some language i'd never heard from her before

She sat in lessons from 8am til 4pm today and has to go again tomorrow to do her physical and theory tests.

Kinda reassuring knowing the Thais do get a bit of training.

If only they'd extend the riding around cones, over a bridge, navigate a stop sign then cross the finish line test.

Well don't be a complete arse, cheer her up by telling her how good your Soapie was while she was at the testing center!.

[Dillinger]

^ i did send her a photo of the masseur stood on the back of my thighs holding my one hand and swinging me around like an airplane.

There was an awkward silence for a while

[OhOh]

Kinda reassuring knowing the Thais do get a bit of training.

You've obviously not sat through the "lessons".

[Dillinger]

^ i feel like I have. She hasn't stopped chewing my ear off.

The proof will be in the pudding tomorrow if she passes the theory

Anyone who looked at their phone in the room were greeted by a loud peep from a whistle, anyone looking tired were told to go wash their face, anyone who got a question wrong- the wife being one were brought to the front of the class and made to wave their arms back and forward 10 times

The lecturer sounds like a great guy, he said to them he's not police or mafia and just wants to save lives. He taught them about everything that happens on the roads, even things like if a policeman doesn't have at least 2 stars on his arm , he can't take your license off you.

He also told them they are lucky they are Thai and only in Thailand can someone drive on the road first then get their license and that it doesnt happen in Malaysia or Singapore..
