I ACTUALLY PASSED FIRST TIME!!! :biggrin:

3 minors

although I'm super super happy that I didn't have to reverse around the corner :biggrin:

I ACTUALLY would have failed if I got that - I've only done it twice before :p:

My mum took time off work this morning so I could practice - she was like 'pick two manoeuvres and we'll practice those till you get it right' so I picked parallel parking and turn in the road, and those were the two I got :biggrin:

LUCK!!

Thanks very much :smile:

3 minors, 2 for being hesitant at roundabouts, 1 for not letting a guy walk out in front of me. When's your test?

I had 54 hours in the end. My first instructor took it pretty slowly, then quit when I was nearly ready to book my test. So then I had a 2 month break and a fair few lessons with my second instructor. Just make sure you've practised the manoeuvres to a good standard, and concentrate. I was probably more nervous then I've ever been in my life... How many lessons have you had?

AHHHHH!! 4 minors! =) Can't believe I passed! Sooooo happy!!

My instructor believed that the test centre was on strike so I wouldn't have to do it, but turns out it is next Monday so I totally didn't expect that I had to do it and didn't really have time to freak out like I usually do, which is good I suppose! =)

passed on the 20th of last month 5 minors. I so happy because that was my 4th attempt, finally I passed. I still havent got my head round it because I havent recieved my photocard back yet, but everytime I look in my wallet I feel happy because my provisional is no longer in there, Im still happy, it hasent worn off yet.

I passed today :biggrin:

4 minors. But one was so close to a serious, because i very nearly forgot to put on a right signal when approaching a huge roundabout. But he said the rest of my drive was great, and he is putting it down as a 'random act of madness' :rofl:

I had to do a reverse round the corner, and turn in the road, but the second manouver was great because the road was huge! :smile:

Ahh i'm happy. I've just got to wait for my insurance cover note to come, so i can tax my car.

weird things happen to me in the test :confused:

i drive fine normally, everyone expected me to pass first time round as well :cry:

test 1: did 60 instead of 70 when national speed limit applied (10 minors)
test 2: was concentrating so hard to make sure guy on zebra crossing made it safely to the other side, when i started to drive off, didn't notice woman step onto it (8 minors)
test 3: lane ******* discipline (5 minors)
test 4: mirror minors built up to 1 serious (2 minors, minus the mirrors)

do you really have to do 70 as they tell you? you failed because you had it on 60?!?? :eek:

that's cruel..

I know what you mean about doing stupid things. :frown:

Today, i was at a big roundabout, and it was clear. The jeep in front of me was being a bit of a maniac (cut someone up then moved inbetween lanes), and i expected him to go as it was clear. I double checked to my right, and my car was rolling forward very slowly. The jeep slammed his brakes on for no reason, and i was so close to going into the back of him. I should have been watching what he was doing tbh. It would be terrible to have an accident on the second day of driving :bawling:
