  1. No, no walking stick, but the previous color test did present problems. The previous three times I had to do it I was lucky to have a falang next to me that whispered the colors. This time didn't have a problem.
  2. I don't think the previous color test, the one made up of small dots, was necessary. I would have failed that every time as I'm color blind, but passed with help from a bystander. With the new test even I can pass, as the three colors are large, red, yellow and green. Australia never had a color test and I don't recall doing one in the UK either.
  3. I was 68 when I got my first Thai licence.
  4. Well, the UK for one. If you really want to know Google it.
  5. I was replying to brianthainess about the brake used in the brake test. It was a joke.
  6. I used to enjoy it, but after 8 seasons it's getting kind of stale. Tried watching ep.1 of the new season, but gave it away after 10 minutes.
  7. I haven't driven at night for a long time. My night vision was never good, even when young. Might have something to do with being color blind.
  8. I think the peripheral test was dropped in Pattaya because of Covid, too many people handling the machine.
  9. At Pattaya the tester is the one to determine if you're fast enough, and he's pretty forgiving.
  10. Yeah, it seems to differ wherever you go.
  11. Where was that? There was no perception test in Pattaya when I did mine a couple of weeks ago.
  12. I guess the tester decides, but yet to see anyone fail.
  13. No depth perception test anymore, at least not in Pattaya.
  14. You mean the same way they determine if they're too drunk, tired or competent enough to drive, and are you talking about those licenced, or the thousands of unlicenced drivers out there?
  15. The colors come up randomly, not in the same order as a real traffic light. The reaction test is the brake test, you hit the brake when the light turns from green to red.
  16. They have made the color test even easier, it's like a small traffic light, and red, yellow, green just come up randomly, and you name the color. I couldn't pass the old color test, I cheated every time. As far as the reaction test, you'd have to be pretty doddery not to pass that, but I have seen some young people take several attempts before they got it right.
  17. Is this a law? If so, please quote it.
  18. Then the girl who said she wanted to be individual/different is actually no different than any other girl who looks the same, whatever her reasons.
  19. Streaked blonde hair and tats, hardly a stand out among bar girls.
  20. Just curious, as I just got another 6 years renewal at 80. Pretty sure a lot of countries make you basically sit for the test again after 70.
  21. If it's a subtle one on a wrist or ankle OK, but these huge tats that cover a back or chest, no.
  22. I see a lot of multi tattooed girls on TikTok, many of them quite beautiful, and I always think, why? You had a beautiful body and you went and covered it with graffiti.
