Appointment for learners

Post by Werner »

I just bought me a motorbike and try to make an appointment for a learners license. I just can't believe that the earliest I can get is 18 Feb next year. :evil:

This is crazy!!

yep everyone wants to drive... whereto I don't know. the roads are so full as they are.
and everyone gets given a lic these days... my sister has been driving for couple yrs now, and on Sat she pulled out the car she pulled on the lux side of the garage, and I was standing outside waiting to pull in, I could see her going to hit the wall from almost around the corner... hooted and shouted till she got the message... oh, my poor rolla, must have had a heart attack at that point :mrgreen: don't know how she got her lic :twisted:

werner, I think you have right idea there. bike or even bicycle is the way of the future.

Nee, dit is waar die laptop moet in as ek werk toe ry. Daar was 'n kleiner 1 op en toe verander ek dit na die grote
vir die laptop.
