Can You Take The Theory And Pratical Tests From Different Parts Of The Country

Where is it the quickest to pass your driving theory and practical tests, in the UK, the US, or France?

While I have no knowledge of how driving training works in France, I'm still pretty sure the US is a world apart from both France and UK. I know that driver's education in the UK is a serious matter (okay, they're utterly rubbish when it comes to driving on snow, and the lot of them insists on driving on the wrong side, something only drunks and elderly do on the European mainland, but otherwise they're pretty decent drivers) and teachers will fail students who are not up to standards. I have driven in France many times, and I don't expect their training standards to be very much lower (French traffic is the way it is not because the drivers are poorly trained, but rather because a minority of French drivers are drunk, which is an understandable way of them coping with the majority of French drivers being mad), as western Europe generally (Belgium having been a horrible exception) has seen how proper standards are an easy way of reducing traffic fatalities.The US is a completely different ball game (they still call it “driving” though, just like they call sissy rugby “football”), where the exact requirements for getting a license vary from state to state, but generally seems to revolve around having a pulse and being able to pull the automatic shifter into D. No real driving skills required. Actually, possessing and demonstrating driving skills is probably best avoided, it could confuse the instructor.However, if you're considering getting your license in a country where you're not a resident, beware that there may be rules against getting that license recognized back home. The EU doesn't want “license tourism” where people go to countries where testing standards are lax (and prices low) just to obtain licenses with less effort than at home, and there are residency requirements in place, at least in some countries.

How can you pass and prepare for German driving theory test?

I can answer this because I have extensive experience! I did the theory exam three times at my 38 years after driving for 20 in my country, Mexico and Spain, but as you might know, Germany requires you to have a German or EU license to drive.Germany, being a really pragmatic country has the exam in many languages (every other country I lived in has it only in its own language, which is stupid). The problem is that the translations are sometimes not so good, and the answers to some questions are counterintuitive for people who already drives, the real difficulty being that many questions have multiple correct options and all have to be checked for the question too be correct.In both cases I failed one single question made the difference and I could debate to dead that the answer made no sense, but that’s stupid, the exam is actually designed for novel drivers, and there is a clear line on the way the questions and answers are formulated: they want you to be a super safe, super careful driver who has in the back of their mind everything that could go wrong if they’re not. There’s ultimately always a logic behind each answer and is always towards being careful.So there’s no way around it, you have to go to the school, and learn the questions and learn the answers (most schools have the ~1003 questions databank). Repeat the questions until you don’t fail any. And then repeat a bit more. Then do the exam.

Which country has the hardest to pass driving test?

I think it's Romania. You need a medical and psychological certificate before going to driver's school. 24 hours of theory and 30 hours of practical learning are necessary and a pre-exam before the school can provide a graduating certificate which is only valid for 12 months. It can take up to 3 months to complete these stage because no school will book more than 3 sessions a week. After graduation, the theory test follows at the state approved centres (usually within police buildings and the school graduation certificate is mandatory by law to proceed at this stage ). This can also take up to a month to book in some busy cities. If you fail the theory you book it again, waiting probably one more month. If you pass theory, you book the practical test which can have up two-three months waiting times. So we're already six months away and just having our practical test. The practical test is 30 minutes through busy city traffic and the police officer and traffic participants will show no mercy to the person inside the exam cars. Some drivers will put you in a position to fail so be very careful. Two mistakes and you're struck off. It's back to school for another six mandatory sessions and the tedious booking process for the practical test. If you fail the practical test again chances are that a year has already passed and your driving school graduation certificate will have expired so you have to go back to school and repeat the whole process again.Because the law is very tough, corrupt police examiners were widespread in the country who would pass the candidate for a bribe. This is still commonplace in small villages and towns, but in the big cities it's no longer the case since a witness in the exam car is required by law (usually another candidate) and policeman are weary about taking bribes.Since you can only apply for your license in the place where your official address is this creates a very unbalanced situations on the roads. Allot of incompetent and sometimes illiterate drives from the forgotten towns of Romania get their license for a bribe, while large cities have a very low pass rate at these exams. It's quite unfair but it is what it is

What countries have antimatter technology?

In answer to your direct question look for countries with particle accelerators. That's probably your most reliable source of antimatter, which is usually produced from the extremely high energy particle collisions produced by slamming together regular particles of matter like protons and such.

A quick scan of a list from the University of Bonn (below) reveals the following countries:
* Argentina
* Belgium
* Brazil
* Britain
* Canada
* China
* Denmark
* France
* Germany
* India
* Italy
* Japan
* Netherlands
* Russia
* South Africa
* Spain
* Sweden
* Switzerland
* Taiwan
* USA

Not every one of those accelerators are going to have the power or be configured to produce antimatter reliably, but that list is a starting point. You could also add to that countries which know how to make and use PET scanners (Positron Emission Tomography) used for studying the brain. I don't know how to track down a list of countries using them.

That said, it's of little technological use because although we know how to produce them and detect them we can only produce a handful of particles at a time and we can't store antimatter in any practical manner for long enough and in sufficient amounts to be of any use.

Our current limits on handling antimatter are we can slow it down using a method called "laser cooling" and we can trap small quantities of it using what's called a "Penning Trap" which suspends small collections of particles in a combination of electric and magnetic fields. See below for a link to the SMILETRAP in Sweden, which is an example.

Remember that by "small quantities" I literally mean handfuls of particles, where you don't even have enough to make a billionth of a billionth of a gram.

What is the process for getting your drivers license and practical driving test in your country?

You apply to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency for a provisional driving licence. Assuming that it is a licence for a car, you can then drive on roads other than motorways as long as you are accompanied by a sober, awake, full licence holder aged over 21 (I think). As a recent development, you will be allowed to drive on motorways in a car with a professional instructor and dual controls. The provisional licence is valid for two years. There is no legal requirement to have professional tuition, although you’d generally be fairly daft not to.The next stage is to take the theory test, which consists of a section of multiple choice questions and a section of “hazard awareness” tests with a crude PC simulation of various driving situations.Once you have passed your theory test, you can take the practical test, which consists of 45 minutes or so of driving in a variety of situations observed by an examiner, including a number of specified manoeuvres. A crude eye test is carried out at the beginning of this; it is the only medical control other than self-certification.For a motorcycle the same pattern is followed but with the addition of a day of introductory “compulsory basic training” including classroom, off-road and on-road riding before you can ride on the road; the practical test is also split into two modules, the first lowish-speed manoeuvres conducted off road, the second general road riding. You can ride unaccompanied on the road on a bike up to 125cc on your provisional licence after completing CBT, and on a larger bike only while accompanied by an instructor or examiner with a radio link. There are also three levels of motorcycle licence with varying age and power limits.

Does Communism work in small countries, and why does it work in China?

Communism/socialism doesn't work in any setting, regardless of what seems to be "true" on the surface. Ideologically, it's a beautiful premise . . . but it fails to take into account one simple factor: human nature. Humans are designed to pursue excellence and to desire reward for achievement. Most people don't want the "lazy" folks of society to receive the same benefits as those who actually work hard.

While the following is classified an urban legend, it aptly proves the point.

"An economics professor said he had never failed a single student before but had, once, failed an entire class. The class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said ok, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism. All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.

"After the first test the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. But, as the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too; so they studied little...

"The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around the average was an F. The scores never increased as bickering, blame, name calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for anyone else. All failed to their great surprise and the professor told them that socialism would ultimately fail because the harder to succeed the greater the reward but when a government takes all the reward away; no one will try or succeed."

China is not a success due to its Communist/Socialist ideals. It is succeeding because Deng Xiaoping declared that it was "glorious to be rich" and allowed the citizens to pursue personal wealth. When people could work for personal gain rather than political gain, they became much more invested in the process.

What does INFJ mean exactly when it comes to personality testing?

INFJ stands for Introvertive, iNtuitive, Feeling, Judging

The Myers-Briggs is a personality survey, meant to give you and others a little bit of insight into what your personality is like and how you react to things.

The Introverts, compared to extroverts, generally "recharge" themselves by quiet activites. Do you generally like to stay home or hang out with a small group of close friends, or are you the type that goes to bars and clubs?

The Intuition type is balanced with the Sensing type. Intuitive types trust hunches and theories, while Sensing types like facts and data that can be backed up.

The F stands for Feeling, and it's opposite in this test is Thinking. Thinking types make decisions from standing back and using logic, while Feeling types use their emotions and empathy to chose a best course of action.

The last category is either Judging or Preceiving. The Judging-Perceiving relationship relates to the dominant side of the brain. Judging is generally associated with left brain dominance, and Perceiving is associated with right brain dominance.

Remember, it can sometimes change, and that's okay. As you mature throughout your life, your views may shift slightly and you might see the world and yourself in a different way.

I wouldn't look too hard for a quick answer to see if you're bipolar or not online. There is no site or counselor that can diagnose you in this manner. If you want more information on biopolar disorder though, try going to NAMI.org
