I passed my driving test earlier this week. I am soooo happy. I had my first ever lesson on the 24th June 2013 (couldn't even move the car without stalling). I then took my theory on 12th July and passed first time. I took my practical on 25th September 2013 and also passed that first time with 2 minor faults. It took me exactly 3 months and one day from being a total beginner to passing my test. I had 17 lessons with a professional instructor and plenty of practise in my dads car. I took the test in my dads car as I had clocked more hours in it. I'm so happy I managed to do it before I go back to university today.
