driver's licence...
it's a real shame that the ministry of transport here in taiwan no longer acknowledges new zealand driver's licences (for that matter, driver's licences from all those countries that drive on the "wrong" side of the road i think). this means that i now need to take all the regular tests before i can get myself a taiwanese driver's licence. bugger! it's not a big hassle but it's just that before they made the change i could have got the licence simply by doing a quick and easy physical check-up. oh well...
the first thing to do now is to take the written test. i thought that all you need is boldness and a touch of local common sense to drive on the road here, but the road regulations booklet that i got for the written test stipulates a great deal more. apart from all the do's and don'ts that nobody actually gives a crap about in reality, it also goes on about things like fines and penalties, car mechanics, and ethics in driving. now, the latter two sections really make me cringe and are a bit of a joke i'd say. god only knows why someone has to learn what the compression ratio of a diesel engine is at the end of a compression stroke as part of the course to get a driver's licence, and the section on ethics in driving is just insane, to say the least. here are some sample test questions straight out of the booklet...
no matter how absurd these sample test questions may be, i guess i'll just try and memorize the stuff in the booklet as much as possible, take the written test, and then quickly forget about all the rubbish. there is not much of a choice, is there?

你的這些題目我都沒看過說?
好難喔, 我也不會說:P
需要路考嗎? 我覺得路考比筆試難,
加油囉!
Ahhh, Can't believe you havn't got your licence after all those years in TWN. So are you finally decided to get a car?
yeah. we've got a parking space at the new apartment and so i think it's about time that i get a car. i still haven't decided what kind of car to get though...
Oh my god - are you serious?! I am so gonna fail. Especially considering that I didnt even pass my multiple choice in NZ in the first go.
As a matter of fact - I still cant parellel park and listen to music at the same time. Or I just cant parellel park - full stop.
well, i guess sydney is much more forgiving for those who can't parallel park, isn't it? at least you are still driving on the left side of the road... i really can't imagine driving a manual here in taiwan. i would be using the fifth gear to start the car all the time. ah, how i miss my little black civic...
mmm....看來比我10年前考的題目都不一樣了
以前選擇題都是考一些道路法規
違規罰多少錢....
不過 筆試考過了 路考對你來說應該不算難啦
Oh yeah - I miss eggmobile too! Remember all the funs and games we had!
I am sure you would be fine. I remember my auntie used to turned on the windscreen wipe all the time whenever she needed to turn on the headlight!
It has almost been a month since you published this posting - so have you passed your test?
nah, i haven't taken the test yet actually. it's something that i still need to get off my butt and get done sometime. i haven't been able to go through more than two pages of the road regulations booklet at a time before getting all confounded by the type of language used in it.
呵呵，不错，见识到TW驾照的笔试题目。有问到总统是谁么？
