hi, i just want to know if anyone passed their driving test first time, because alot of close people that i know passed second, i get my test soon, and now feel like i'm going to fail it first time round. i just wont some motivation and see if anyone did pass theirs first time. i really want to pass as money is becoming a big issue.

Thanks for reading, please reply


Don't worry it's not as hard as it seems.

They basically just take you out for a quick 40 minute drive around. It goes quick.
Just make sure you look over your shoulder before setting off every time. Make sure you have practised roundabouts and manoeuvres.

Look in your mirrors loads as if you are paranoid and you should be fine.

It's not that hard when it comes to it. I would have passed first time but I made the silly mistake of going 35 on a 30.

You will be fine though.

Rolling back with a car behind you would be a serious fault.
Mounting the kerb.
Exceeding the speed limit.
Etc.

It's situation dependent though, it might not be classed as a serious fault if no one else was around.


ok thanks alot!:biggrin:

thanks this made me feel better:smile:
I passed first time and so did a friend of mine.

In a manouver I was sure I went slightly on a kerb, could have been a drain, but I stayed calm and continued doing my observations etc.

Only had 2 minors so the less minors you have the more "brownie points" lets say you wil get which may give you leeway :smile:

Trust me, it goes quite quick.

They take you out for a quick drive to see if you are capable. As long as you don't commit any blatant mistakes, you should be all right.

In my experience, roundabouts, manoeuvres, mirrors and looking over your shoulder and mirrors before setting off after each time they stop you, these are the key areas they are looking for.

I passed first time, one minor after a real emergency stop (forgot to look in my nearside mirror before moving off) and my brother who passed without any minors. You'll be fine. :smile:

No, not really. We had a brilliant driving instructor (Traffic Police Officer). He had us doing 60mph up a country road on our first lessons! :eek:

Passed on my first time :smile: As everyone else has said, goes pretty quick. Just remember to check mirrors frequently and take your time - don't let impatient drivers rush you as safety is the most important thing! :smile: "Drive the way you want to drive, not the way others want you to drive :wink:"
