I just passed my driving test first time about half an hour ago!
Somehow I managed to get 12 minors but when I've been doing mocks I've only been getting like 2 or three :s-smilie: guess it was just nerves
So so so happy and relieved and well done to everyone else who has passed their test!

Passed my test first time yesterday at Morden, with three minors. :biggrin:
Because I had done only two hour lessons throughout the learning phase, the test just seemed to fly over!

Just passed with 4 minors.

Can drive my Suzuki Wagon R+ now... better know as... "THE SHAGGIN' WAGON"


good luck with the aids you'll get from anyone willing to set foot in in
I passed! it was my 6th attempt :eek:! I passed with two minors!
Congrats! So happy for you :biggrin:
I passed my test first time today with 6 minors, it literally is the best feeling you'll have for a long time knowing that you've passed your test. I didn't know what to expect in the test, although I had 2 mock tests before the actual one and failed both of them. At the beginning of the test I had to Reverse Bay Park and my leg on the clutch was literally bouncing up and down I was that nervous. But once you ease in to the lesson, it gets easier. Just one tip, keep concentrated on road signs, traffic lights, and what is going on in front of you:smile:

Congrats on passing!

I also live In London and get similar quotes in here, but if I use my uni address, it takes off about 1.5k off the price. Do you have family or trusted friends outside London? open a bank account in that address and your insurance will drop a lot.

Also, add your parents/ older family members as second drivers, this isn't illegal and usually reduces the price at least a little.
