Re: The Ultimate "I passed my driving test!" Thread
third time!!! Was a 9:07am test, and I'd failed due to my nerves twice before. My nerves did actually get the better of me again, but he gave me the benefit of the doubt under the condition that I do pass plus! I was so happy, my instructor actually told me to calm down!!

Re: The Ultimate "I passed my driving test!" Thread
Passed this morning with 3 minors on my third attempt! It doesn't feel real and I'm expecting to wake up at any moment!
One minor was for hesitation, one for mirrors and one for control (I think it was because I stalled on a hill start).
It's taken 2 years of learning to do this and now it's finally all been worth it.
Failed first time with 1 dangerous, 3 majors and 13 minors. Failed second time with 3 majors and 3 minors. So to everyone out there who is yet to pass, you will do it eventually. I promise you that if I can do it, you most definitely can do it! -

I passed my test on Thursday 11.11am second time with four minors
Was really surprised and pleased because I was so nervous at the beginning and I went the wrong way twice and went round a big roundabout twice too 
Just goes to show that even if you think you might have failed that you should keep going because most examiners are understanding that you might do the odd silly thing when nervous
EDIT: Forgot to mention that 7 learners took their test at the same time as me and I was only one of two learners that passed! -
Re: The Ultimate "I passed my driving test!" ThreadA few people, I think 5 also took their test same time as me. They all looked wounded after the exam so probably safe to assume they didn't pass or maybe wasn't too happy about passing (hmm). Made me nervous as hell, seeing as it was my first test. Sound advice my instructor said to me was pretend that this is a lesson and just do everything you was taught. Do not be nervous.(Original post by JemMills)

Re: The Ultimate "I passed my driving test!" Thread
Hi, I passed my test three weeks ago but haven't received my pink license yet. I rang the DVLA and they said that the DSA were being a bit useless at the moment and hadn't even notified them that I'd passed yet. Apparently, I might have to wait another three weeks. Pah.
I just wondered if anyone else who passed around the same time has received theirs yet? -
Re: The Ultimate "I passed my driving test!" Thread
