    Driving Test tomorrow!!
    Hi guys,

    So, I'm kind of bricking it right now!
    My driving test it tomorrow and despite feeling absolutely ready for it, I'm so worried that my nerves will get the better of me!
    Does anyone have any tips, hints, tricks or advice for
    A) The driving test
    B) Dealing with the nerves

    I have an hours lesson before hand, so I'm hoping that'll calm me down a bit!

    Always always check your mirrors.

    If you do some small thing wrong like forget to check your mirror before putting on the indicator or something- don't let it destroy your confidence and remember it will only count as a minor.

    For the nerves take some vodka before the test to calm them and you will pass no bother.

    DON'T GET NERVOUS, be confident. Driving is easy shiz.
    Remember to check mirrors and try not to make silly mistakes. Also if you do make a few minors, don't get worried because that could lead to a major. Anyways good luck !

    You should always get the mock test with the help of driving instructor for the quick revision to pass the driving test. Which is time saving and efficient.

    There is no need for a mock driving test, it is practically no different from a normal lesson, you are just being examined and marked.

    OP, we can't cure your nerves, nor can we give you an examiner who hasn't already failed you before you even start. You find the people who acquire the least minors are those who are more relaxed and confident.

    Even though I have yet to take my driving test, my plan is to pretend that the person sitting next to me in the test is my driving instructor. I just hope its easier to imagine in the actual test than it is thinking about it!

    That way you'll feel relaxed and more comfortable

    If you get a major in middle of the test....drive your car at 90mph on normal road and threaten the examiner that you will crash the car unless you promise to pass me...


    *NOT RECOMMENDED* its just something's my friends and I thought of it.
