    Test coming up soon
    I have my 3rd test coming up this month with a matter of weeks,but coincidently in the nicest way possible my instructor has taken two weeks off sick,I have my own car and practise in it every single day but I'm so worried that I might be picking up bad habits or not practising to the way the driving school or examiners expect,I really can't afford to fail for my 3rd attempt I've already had 5 different instructors and I'm running out of options!! Any advice??

    Maybe practise with someone who is a bit experienced and can help in pointing out anything you are doing wrong or you can book another instructor for few hours ??

    I've literally got 5 days left until I can cancel my test,I've got the option of doing it in my own car which I feel that examiners will discriminate against or try and find another instructor this week,but the idea of adapting to a whole new car and new method of teaching scares me in such a short period of time! I'm mega stressed!!:-/

    You wouldn't be at any disadvantage from the way you were marked if you used your own car. If you feel as though it's the car you're most comfortable in, then you should go for it.

    You should be able to remember how you were taught, and if it's your third test it sounds like you've had a lot of experience. There are lots of driving instructors out there who are willing to give a one off lesson as a sort of mock test which would help to put your mind at ease. Maybe ask your friends for recommendations.

    Thank you so much, think I will get in touch with an instructor get him to give me an assessment and then take it from there. Thanks again
