@Confirmed - Thanks for replying (:
And i kinda wished i had passed second time round, i had fully prepared myself to fail (mainly for nerves) but i planned i was going to do my test on feb 5th and i would have about 15 more hours extra practice (i do 2 hour lessons) Can't change the future tho, i bet people think I'm weird for actually wanting to fail first time haha :') I used to feel the same about roundabouts, used to really despise them because i worried about when to go/not go, i still hate 3rd/4th exits i feel so much more vulnerable on the inside lane but now i also worry about stalling when its my chance to go.
It really scares me as you mentioned that i have been granted a license to actually drive a car, its so much responsibility and i really don't want to cause an accident.
I really hope that like you in a few weeks i feel fine and wonder why i ever worried :/

@SillyEddy - Well thats the thing i don't really have many people to come out with me that can drive. Only my uni friends drive however live quite far and we're all busy with assignments, the ones home at the moment can't drive and my family members all have kids and jobs so it wouldn't really work. I think my mum might come out with tomorrow (depending if we can get our neighbour to babysit, definitely not taking my younger brothers too haha) Which may help, although shes been driving for about 15 years so now she says she doesn't know how to do things because she 'just does it' without thinking lol, but i think it could be helpful we'll see (:
Well i've already been out with my instructor for 2 hours, it is a possibility and i know he would help, but i think im using him as a comfort blanket. He's really amazing no doubt about that and i feel much better when he's in the car with me, but it all goes when he not, so i think i need to avoid that for now
I don't want to keep my P plates on for too long, just until i feel a bit more confident, in hope that people will sometimes give me a bit of extra time, some do, some dont.
And if i don't set gas i stall ):, mines only a 1.1 maybe thats why? I want my next car to be something like the one i learnt it, so going to do lots of saving up. I think i need to try the techniques tho, i always have trouble seeing the bonnet move, however i can usually hear the engine noise change, I'll have to have a try (:

@megfashion - Yeah i think you're right the change form the car i learnt in and my car definitely makes me nervous

Thanks for posting (:

@Dan - Well thank you ^^
Yeah im trying to get people to come out with me, but its difficult getting people who are experienced and not busy, hopefully my mum will come out with me tomorrow tho and maybe (i really really hope so) i will feel better about it.
I remember when i was learning, i stalled 3 times at some traffic lights on a hill :') i can't remember if it was the petrol or diesel car but i managed to save myself rolling back each time i could just not for the life in me get off it :') and that hill is on my short cut to the road i'll be taking to uni D: so feeling nervous about going that way lol
Thanks for the post (:
