Since I winged in this thread about how many times I've been hit by cars whilst cycling I thought it only appropriate to announce this here:

I have FINALLY got my licence!!!!

I'm pretty relieved because all the lessons I had to pay for since I didn't have anyone to give me regular lessons were getting expensive and we have to have 50 hours logged here. I spend well over $2000 on driving lessons in the end but at least it's FINALLY done!

The roads here are now just a little more dangerous - although they offer cheaper insurance for women in Australia because we're proven on average to be safer drivers!
