Safety, and Euro trim..... (no sidemarkers)

[F|2eeSTy|e]

Heh, I had my driving test yesterday and I had one of them out, and when I went to replace it the socket was FILLED with crap. So I just disconnected the other side too. The examiner looked at one side, then went to the other and figured it must not be designed to light up. The Lamin-x on the front signals almost got me failed from the get-go though.

Driving test for what? Are you just now turning 16 :?:

I remember taking my driving test - ugly ass blue camaro, passed though and thats all that matters.

We have graduated licensing in Ontario.

G1 - Written test, 16 years old, must be accompanied by a fully licensed driver, lasts 8 months minimum
G2 - Road test, restricted to no alcohol at all and limited number of passengers (no overloading), lasts 1 year minumum
G - Full license

I just got my G. :D Everyone thought it was ballsy taking a modified E30 to the test, but screw that.

they need that here in the US, we have such horrible drivers

Hmmmm. Wish I had the prices on them. If we are talking $60ish, I'll rock them, but the total on the ETK was like $98.....so *cross fingers*.

Otherwise, I might just get Dave's and drive US-spec.

It's kinda just a small case for safety, as they are just tiny lights at each end of the car, but without them, there are no lights on the side.

I actually find the euro peices a bit boring. only reason I'd do it is to replace my old faded trim and cracked sidemarkers.

Well even with the system, insurance rates are still sky high. The lowest quotes I get for my car with no tickets or anything is like $4500US/year. Yeah, we pay off the damn things within 12 months.

I like the clean look, but have nothing against teh red sidemarkers all around, as it goes with paint. But my rear side trim is broken, however.....

My friend's discount @ BMW is only 10%, bastards. Maybe mine will be more, but I highly doubt it. (He works full-time at the neighboring Infiniti dealer, same owner.....I am part-time @ BMW)

Dave, I'll PM you.

Florida has a similar system. Miami is still has the worst drivers ever..... even though half of the horrible drivers dont even have the licenses, but whatever.

Unless you're under 18 you can go straight to your Class E ( Full ) License. If not you'll go through the whole process Mystikal described above.

Thanks for the advice, comments guys. I decided for now to use Dave's sidemarker.
I know the safety isn't really going to be affected by them.
But it's not that big of a difference, so probably not worth it right now.
