 Posted: 01:08 - 11 Feb 2008 Post subject: my sneaky possibly crap plan |
 |
|
right, ive done my bike test a while ago, and im going for my car test.
bike= all the observations you need and more for a car one right? so i'd be adequite to drive relatively safely (i mean, the way some of the people i know drive, i shit myself as passenger because they just dont LOOK!!!)
so heres the dealio
i learned to drive in a field when i was 9 in some shitter of a 1989 micra, and can do all the manouvers, parallels and reversey crap, give me a field and i can do those groovey handbrake parks between 2 cones and 360s
even had a naughty phase at 14 when i went rampant on the roads to see my friends etc. plus ive had a few lessons and am told im a 'natural'
so yea, i can drive a car, and can do the observations,
but i cannot be fucked to pay for lessons + test.
so...
if i get a friend who looks a bit like me, who has a car test and has recently passed, ill pay for the test, he'll take it using my details, he'll pass, ill buy him a few pints, and ill have a driving licence...
plan? i think so...
opinions?
write them here

If you are capable of driving on the road, then surely you are capable of passing the driving test?
Just because some drivers are seemingly crap, doesn't mean its alright to drive a car when you yourself are not up to test standard. |
to be honest, test standard is bollocks and unsafe anyway...
take bikes for example. if on the test, you approach a T junction where the road is joining yours, and you manouver towards the middle of the road in order to be seen better, you get a minor/major point, and could fail for being safe.
i would do the lessons, but in order to use the instructors car i need a minumum of 10 lessons at 2 hours/£40 each... its just loads!
it would be easier if not quite so legal to get my friend to take it in his car. ____________________ Blue_SV650S wrote: it was a sh1te wheelie, but it proves that he can get it up in 3rd and can do angles.

do some lessons and do it legit. 10 lessons would be sufficient if you are competent. Just to brush up on habbits, it's worth it.
I do find myself doing shoulder checks in the car though.
The test is easy. |

If you haven't got the money to pay for some lessons and a test, then how are you gonna have money to buy a car, tax it and insure it, or were you gonna scoot round those laws too  |

Stupid idea, if you are so confident of your driving ability take the test in your friends car, will only cost for one days insurance to add you on.

If you can't afford it, you can't do it.
If you can't afford £100 on a couple of lessons and test, how are you going to pay for a car? Tax, MOT, insurance, petrol.
Cars will always be there, just be patient.
I don't condone dodginess, but you see Scum getting pulled over in old shit boxes with just a provisional and no tax and no insurance, they get a fine and maybe their car towed away, that's all. And off they go to buy another shit box for £75.
Just a matter of not getting caught which is unlikley to happen if you're just using it to get to work and back. I was a witness to a bike accident, I helped the rider to the side of the road and got his bike out of the road, but couldn't hang around because I was illegal... not great at all. And if you have a smack, that's going to be all she wrote.
There's no real difference in getting your dodgy licence, it's like having car insurance on a car with not tax and no MOT, it won't count for anything. ____________________ BCF's 6th favourite poster 2009-2010

its the price that concerns me... im on £150-ish a week, im on shitty ''emergency ripoff tax'' until the inland revenue get off their arses and reply to all my letters. so thats £105 a week to live on, thats like 1 night out and petrol money with like £20 left over!
im after the cheap and easy option
but do you reckon this plan will work?? |
You shouldn't be writing to HMRC, you should be talking to your employer. PAYE stands for pay as you earn, and is generally administered by the employer. If you are on emergency tax it is because you either haven't handed in your P45 from a previous employment, or because your employer is shit.
It sounds to me like you think you are going to fail the test and you can't be arsed, so you want a cop out solution.
If you are so good on the road, then do a couple of lessons to get the manuevres down, and then take the test. You'll pass if you are as good as you say you are.
Additionally do you think that the DVLA etc haven't heard of this scam already? They know all the tricks and are looking out for them, so even if you did go ahead with it, you could get into serious trouble.
If you were to lose your license because of this, then you would lose your bike license too, which you got legitimately. Its basically a stupid idea and completely not worth it. ____________________ British beauty: Triumph Street Triple R; Loony stroker: KR1S; Track fun: GSXR750 L1; Commuter Missile: GSX-S1000F; Cheap project: CBR900RR FireBlade

^ thats how I afford my bike on a student budget.
Anyway, Matt, it's a bloody stupid idea to be fair. Do your test, even if you only have a handful of lessons. Most the overconfident drivers I know have crashed, and they are the ones who have taken tests. What chances you have if you haven't taken your test and are overconfident I don't know, but they are gonna be pretty slim.
Save up, do your test, buy my polo. You'd like it, it'll remind you of your 400. ____________________ A2 passed 22/07/08; restriction up 22/07/10 (just so I don't forget)

Translation = I can't drive but think I'm the next Colin McRae.
I want to get round this by cheating the system, any help/advice?
Oh, wait.... Do the lessons and test like everyone else.
I didn't spend a year on and off along with over 1K spent for cnuts like you to break the rules, and rub the idea in peoples faces.  ____________________ Roger wrote: Women don't get damp for clingy puppies.

Could look at it the other way. I've got my full car test. I've ridden a moped round a field, so I can ride a bike. Should I find someone who looks like me with a bike licence and copy it so I can ride a big bike without bothering with my test  ____________________ A2 passed 22/07/08; restriction up 22/07/10 (just so I don't forget)
