    In none of my 4th tests did I have to go above 40 mph i.e no national speed limmit roads... I kept wondering if I had somehow missed a sign to speed up.
    The ahrdest driving is driving slow though, in a town. Windy country roads and dual carriagways are easy in comparison.

    Passed first time yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Had to do reverse round corner(which was up a hill! :eek: ) and reverse bay park at the very end. Was so nervous at the end when he went out to check I was in!!!

    Got 1 minor for following the car in front too closely on a hill, I was trying to hold it at the bite and not use the handbrake and it didn't exactly go according to plan!!! Am soooooooooooooo happy!!!!!! Congrats to everyone else who's passed!

    Are you getting a car prettyinpunk. If not, i agree, your bank balance will recover. If not then read previous post.
