[Predator]

Hi guys, got my driving test this friday! Not sure how hard it'll be as I've never done anything like this before!

I've had something like 50+ hours on the road (easily), so I've had lost of practise in the car! Anyone had their driving test recently? How'd it go, was it harder/easier than you thought?

I'm not nervous yet, but I know as the time gets nearer nerves will kick in, as I get pretty bad nerves at important times, like a job interview etc.!

Gah I just need to be on the road in a car! So sick of busses and riding my motorbike, it's terrible when it's wet and cold! x)

Thank you Mini and Moonlite, with my test only being tomorrow I'm feeling awfully nervous!!! Been searching for tips on how to stay calm all morning lol, I have three hours of driving before my test tomorrow so I'm hoping that goes well because it'll boost my confidence! Arrrghhh!!!

Good luck I'm sure you'll do fine x

Good luck! I managed to pass mine first time in September. Its not that bad. Once you get driving for a bit the nerves seem to die down. Thought I had failed because I paniced at a junction and stalled and rolled back on the hill a bit. But that was because I heard a siren and couldnt tell where it was coming from! Think they realise that your a bit nervous and let you off for a few things so don't worry too much. I got around 12 minors I think!

Awesome thanks for that Gizmo, I hope my examiner isn't having a bad day!

Congratulations on passing hun x

Thanks. Don't worry about it, just try to relax and drive how you drive. Doesn't have to be perfect I'm still learning now, not been on a motorway yet, too scared lol

What times your test?

 

[Predator]

2pm my instructor is picking me up at 1pm, so not long now really, I'm watching the minutes tick by lol x) and yeah lol the motorway looks daunting!

Must keep calm!

PASSED MY DRIVING TEST GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW! I was getting nervous on the way to the test centre, but I had a really love examiner, she was just a bit older than me!!!!!!! (in her 20's), and we were talking all the way through it, and my maneuvers were parallel park and turn around a semi-sharp corner!

I got 2 minors, which were "not checking my blind spot when moving off", I guess I kinda didn't make my looks obvious enough, but oh well!!!!

Yay! Well done

Got a car sorted yet?

 

[Predator]

I have an old 1.1 punto hehe, but still the insurance is very expensive :S so I'm gonna take a pass plus course and then shop around for insurance to see what sort of prices I'll be dealing with ^^

 

[_Gizmo_]

I never bothered doing the pass plus due to money, and I'm paying monthly on my insurance which has made that more expensive, but I couldn't afford £700 in one go Since I passed my car has been evil to me and has nearly cost what it was to buy! Its a R reg KA. Had a different engine, steering column, brake caliper. Needs a couple of other things doing but it seems fine atm. My uncle bought the car for me so I can't complain too much lol

Do quotes with pass plus first. some companies dont bother changing the price, i know my insurance didnt change when i looked into it so i didnt bother

Well done!!!
