My wife just learned to drive, and passed her test in Nong Khai. Which means she's still learning to drive.
Please fill me in on how the sensors work, how much they actually help, etc.
She passed everything except the reversing/parking part. They discussed this, so to speak, but there was no way around it, apparently - I was surprised. They gave her 30 days to pass it, with no more than 3 tries.
She borrowed a friend's tiny Honda and passed the next time, instead of using our big SUV, which she will actually be driving, at some point...I think.
Could they actually be clamping down a bit on issuing licences? Seems to be the case in Nong Khai.
If so, I can only say, "It's about time! Wonderful!" Anyone else have experiences getting a license lately?
Perhaps Thailand continues to change, slowly but surely. Stopping littering would be a good next step! (Ever been beaned by a bottle being chucked out of a truck while riding a motorcycle? Not so nice.)
