Non Driver

[Guest PEZ]

Although i am 41 i dont drive, i was wondering if getting a job (glass trade) and getting about would still be possible in Adelaide. Or should i start to learn now (dreading it, lacking confidence).

I think being able to drive here is a must. Public transport although to and from the central hubs is not too , it is not that good for connecting.

I would think you would need to drive in the glass trade to get from A_B, but then you might not be going out on site.

I guess it would depend on yur job where you live and the pub transport.

It might be worth considering learning to drive out here, doing a crash course perhaps. (no pun intended!!)

 

Kris from Liz and Kris on here is learning to drive at the moment, it sounds a lot more laid back, hopefully he will read this and elaborate!

Tip - and I stand to be corrected, but if you at least have a provisional UK licence, the learner logbook time requirements are less.

As others have said, if you're a tradie you could be working on sites all over the place and many won't have good public transport. On the plus side - you could drive around in a true-blue ozzie ute;)

If you learn out there you could just learn to drive an automatic which are easier and very popular there. Also if you learned here and are not driving long when you get out there you may find it harder to adjust to their roads etc so may be better waiting
