Word Sunday : Prohibited

I am taking driving license at the moment. If you know me that well, I would tell you that this is really an insult to my driving abilities. But take I must. And why is that? Because I need to get the Q@tari driving license. And this is because they do not recognise M@laysia driving license here. Our international license only last for six months here and my time is up.

And ok ok, rub it in. I have been driving illegally here. Eh no wait. I was using my international license ok. And well it just expired. Like this month.

But the need to take class is because apparently it is easier to pass if you go through the class. My lover had to take four tests. He passed after taking the class. Behhhhhh. But why he failed, even he was baffled. No poles fell. We learned later that when you do side parking, do not straighten your car. Once in the box, you are fine. And also you have only one chance to get it right. And the box is quite small I think.

But I have been observing that the ladies have an easer time to pass. Still, I took the class anyway.

The difficult thing was to undo your habit after years of driving. Like when I reverse and before I come to a stop, I like to turn my steering to where I want to go next, which they prohibit me from doing so. Or they want me to physically turn my back when I reverse. I am too used to using the mirror. Aiyaya

Then there is an oral test, which my rusty brain is trying to adapt. I must be able to answer the exact word and not be creative in any way. EXACT WORD ok.


I must remember which picture goes to "follow this direction" or "direction to be followed" or here comes another one "direction to follow".



And I must not confuse with "Parking prohibited" or "No overtaking". Or is it "No parking" and "Overtaking prohibited"? Oh dear oh dear.

I prefer "No U-turn" please. "Turning backward prohibited" is too mouthful. No Left turn sounds so much easier than "Turning to the left prohibited".

The word prohibit does make it sound authoritive though.

The Answers dot com says the definition of the word is to forbid by authority.

Wish me luck you luvelies.
