Driving test

[Baby France]

As soon as I thought I'd failed I thought sod it....and passed first time.

I convinced myself earlier on too which made me much more relaxed earlier on

 

[amazed]

Good luck Hun xx

Crapping it!

Take bach!

I had my instructor with me, this helped as I kept imagining him giving me the instructions not her and what he would say.

At one point I had to move down a street with lots of parked cars and I really didnt know whether to wait or go but then I just went and said I am going but I am looking and checking mirrors!

Remember you can make minors and still pass! I bumped curb twice, went in wrong lane once, didn't check mirrors on a speed up once and hesitation and still passed!

You will be fine x

are you having a lesson before hand? I did to get all the bad driving out my system haha

The independent driving part isn't so bad they don't mind if you go the wrong way or forget the directions, as long as you're safe. If you're a nervous person, take some Rescue Remedy. I failed 3 of mine, took some RM and passed, I felt so much more relaxed.

Good luck

Good luck today x

Good luck. Remember, all it is, is an assessment to see if you've reached a certain level of ability, or whether you'd benefit from a few more lessons. Be confident in your abilities and if you don't reach the standard, be thankful you've a chance to sharpen up those skills a little more, to keep you and your passengers safer on the road.

Yep my instructor said it is not a test but a driving assessment!

 

[special_kala]

I dont think I can take anything because of feeding willow.

Do the examiners talk much?

 

[TwilightAgain]

They might talk a little at the beginning to try and ease your nerves. They won't talk to you much in your test apart from instructions so they don't put you off

 

[Midnight_Fairy]

um not really but mine did keep saying relax emma you are doing fantastic. Later learnt I looked like a rabbit in the headlights for the whole test! x

are you having a lesson before hand? I did to get all the bad driving out my system haha

The day before mine, I drove about 250 miles, in and out of town. And my dad (who used to be an instructor) asked me what my weakness was. I told him it was roundabouts, so he took me from one end of Aberdeen to the other, using every one of the 23 roundabouts there was. Then we had a bacon roll and a cup of coffee and turned round and did them all the other way. On the morning of my test I drove the 30 miles into town and had a two hour lesson. I was SO sick of driving and learning to drive by then. I actually realised halfway through my test I'd gone on to auto pilot and couldn't remember where i'd been!

I was the same haha, I had a lesson every day the week before and on the day I had an hour before hand but me and instructor went for a tea and a chat and I didnt pay for that hour, he said everyone needs time to just ask questions. I did one reverse park before test and that was it. I was in auto pilot by my test!
