The Ultimate "Driving Test" Thread!

[cupcakekate]

Yeah its my third go kate so feel so nervous! It's at 2 and my last lesson was sooooo BAD i couldnt judge anything Hope it is 3rd time lucky I would go to college on thursday but dont think I can bring myself to go in and then not freak out and tell everyone, plus me and my class don't get on (they basically bully me, no joke, they tell me to shut up all the time its horrible) and the thought of getting abuse then going to the test seems worse than waiting around to get picked up

thats awful what a bunch of nobs. i know how you feel it's so nerve wracking but you'll be okay!! try and keep your mind off it as much as poss as already said and have a nice cuppa before you go i think learning to drive is the most stressful thing you ever have to do!!! xxx

I agree with you on that! Learning to drive has been so stressful and all i want to do is stop taking lessons! keep thinking how easier life would be to just pass so i can put aside the £23 a week to our wedding!

lol we are conversing on three threads now

i know! alot of the relief for me was to do with the money, its £120ish a time so each time i failed i just felt i'd wasted so much money, and with xmas and LOs birthday coming up it was an extra stress!! i started to really hate my lessons aswell so my heart wasn't in it anymore if you know what i mean! it's such a rip off to learn to drive now, least we are getting it out of the way though because in a few years it'll probs be double what it is now! i really hope you pass!!! i will be thinking of you! it's such a good feeling! good luck hun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha i know! 3 threads at the same time must be a record? and i just really want the examiner to say ive passed this time and i know! my bank balance is so sad right now!

 

[Kiki1993]

its tomorrow, im so nervous and really dont want to do it and im pretty sure if i fail im just going to buy a car with my brother, practice with him and sit it in that car next time, cant stand it when my instructor moans and brings up everytime i fail again

 

[Tasha]

Kiki, good luck for tomorrow. You instructor sounds rubbish. If you fail and you decide to use an instructor after, use a different one. He should be helping to build your confidence not knock you down. Any way that advice wont be needed as you are passing

 

[cupcakekate]

good luck hun! think positive! i know it's easy for me to say but try not to think of it as the end of the world if you do fail! it's no reflection on your driving ability i personally think it's down to luck on the day/ the examiner you get etc! you will sooo pass this time anyway hun! third time lucky like me i'll be thinking of you! xxxx

 

[cupcakekate]

Thank goodness, just reallly physically terrified and the sun is totaly bright today and glairing everywhere so that wil make me cry more and the waiting is really scary i hate this x

 

[cupcakekate]

the waiting is definately the worst, are you having a lesson beforehand?

 

[Kiki1993]

Yeah lesson is 1-1.50 so i can get there ten minutes beforehand and then test 2.00-2.45 ish x

Hey kiki, thinking of you today!! I failed my first test on a dangerous for going when it was someone elses right of way and before my second test my instructor reminded me it is better to take a minor for being hesitant than getting an outright fail for a dangerous!! Just remember you are allowed 15 minors so dont worry about little mistakes they are kind of to be expected and allowed for. This is what i kept in mind and it helped. It doesnt have to be perfect, just safe. Show the examiner you are a safe driver, not a perfect driver!!! This helped me on my test Good luck hon xxxx

 

[Kiki1993]

Thanks i will let you all know when i find out x

Good luck kiki x

i'm so sorry where did you hesitate? how many minors did you get? dont give up hun, the tests are not a reflection of your driving at all and they fail you on the stupidest things!

Aww hun i passed on my 3rd attempt, but i thought id failed right near the start, so kinda just then 'got on with it' nerves gone coz i was convinced id failed anyway and i passed with 3 minors!

 

[Kiki1993]

I got 3 all together and they were al for hesitation so failed, a part from that i had no mistakes at all
