Congratulations on passing your test. The thing that causes most accidents with people that are accident proned is they are easily distracted. The cell whether talking or texting should only be done if not at the wheel. It is not necessary to look at your passenger when talking, and it is a good idea to sort out your entertainment,(radio cd etc) before you start driving. OK, end of lecture, be careful.:)
Congratulations on getting your license,must be great.I remember getting mine 25 years ago,the lady who gave me lessons phoned her dad when I found out I passed.have a great time driving!

As has been said before, over here in the UK the license system is somewhat different. You need a provisional to begin with which allows you to take lessons/drive with a qualified instructor or someone who already possess a full driving licence in the car with you. To get a full licence you need to pass the theory test & practical test.
The theory test is in two parts, firstly a 50 question multiple choice exam to complete on a touch screen, it last 57 minutes and requires a pass mark of 43. The second part consist of watching a series of 14 video clips where you must click the mouse to indicate when a hazard is presented on screen. Each clip will contain a developing hazard and one clip will present two. You can score a maximum of 5 points for each clip depending how soon you are aware of the hazard. You need at least 44 out of a possible 75 to pass. A pass in both parts is needed before you can apply to take the practical, out on the road, test.
To pass the practical you must not commit a serious fault and fewer than 15 less serious errors.
It lasts around 40 minutes and assesses whether you are competent of controlling the car, whether you are maintaining normal progress for the road you are on, how you react to any hazards that occur, whether you are noticing all traffic signs, signals and road markings, and reacting to them in the correct manner. The test also includes two set exercises from either turning in the road, reversing around a corner or reverse parking.
I have my first driving lesson tomorrow. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...les/stress.gif :D
