  • You take the exam on cars provided by either the examiner or your driving school.

    The second option usually happens only if you wanna get an automatic-only car driving license (B78), like me. I had to pay my instructor for renting me his car for the exam’s duration – standard practice, especially since it was his “daily” after working hours.

    If you’re super lucky you get to take it on the car you used the most while learning

    If you want to get the full driving license (B) and have no disabilities, you learn on a driving school’s manual and take an exam on an examination center’s manual. They’re separate entities, so you never get the same physical car. At least the model should be the same – driving schools usually match their fleet with whichever model local examination center picked. E.g. in Warsaw it’s Hyundai i20, so most (if not all) schools teach on Hyundai i20.

    depends how cars get allocated

    Like I’ve said before, examination center’s cars are never used for teaching. That’s driving school’s job.
















  • Mandatory Website Obesity Crisis mention, TL;DR:

    Some kind of brain parasite infected designers back when the iPad came out, and they haven’t recovered. Everything now has to look like a touchscreen.

    My gripe with this design aesthetic is the loss of information density. I’m an adult human being sitting at a large display, with a mouse and keyboard. I deserve better. Not every interface should be designed for someone surfing the web from their toilet.

    It’s like we woke up one morning in 2008 to find that our Lego had all turned to Duplo. Sites that used to show useful data now look like cartoons. Interface elements are big and chunky. Any hint of complexity has been pushed deep into some sub-hamburger. Sites target novice users on touchscreens at everyone else’s expense.

    I shouldn’t need sled dogs and pemmican to navigate your visual design.
