I still suck after learning to drive for 2 years

I feel very similar to you, it's coming up to a year and a half for me. I feel like I've been driving for so long that once I smooth out on mistake, I pick up another, and it's pretty much a never-ending in cycle. My instructor said I can drive but I'm inconsistent, so one week I'm great and one week I suck. I think maybe just booking my test and having a lot of lessons in a short space of time is what might work best for people in our situation.

You just described me perfectly.

I've done mock tests and passed with no real issues, and then the next week made mistakes that would have killed people.

My mum's agreed to pay for one lesson a week for me, so I can afford to have two a week now, which I think will help. I'm going to try and book my test tonight, because I do think having a deadline to focus on will help me a lot, and I can always put it back a few weeks if I don't feel ready.

What about sports? Crafts? Hand/eye coordination?



Sorry, but if you don't have it down after TWO YEARS of practising something's wrong. I had 11 practise lessons spread over 4 weeks before I did the mandatory ones (we have a different system here in Germany) before passing my test with flying colours.

It really does suck when everyone is passing and you're not . I'm the same, in december all I had to do was nail my manoeuvres and I was ready for my test. I'm now doing all sorts of ridiculous stuff, going into third and not first, one time I even forgot to give way to the right. I think we're probably in the same boat. I feel like there's no point having lessons as I don't need to "learn" anything anymore, as I can pick up on where I'm going wrong. I might book my test too, although I'll wait until after a level exams but it really does suck. I thought about giving up but I've spent so much already that I can't. We'll do this together

The worst part is all the people who pass after, like, 20 lessons and insist on talking about it all the time

I'm pretty sure I've spent more than £1000 on driving lessons so far, and I've not even attempted a test yet. But I will do it! I have a feeling one day it will all just start clicking into place

I've not attempted a test yet either! My friend who's the best driver I know, has failed twice and our friend who is absolutely awful passed first time. I think we may surprise ourselves on the day! I'm just worried my theory will expire, I do not want to have to redo it!

I think I have a year left on mine. I didn't really mind the theory that much. I didn't study for it, and only got two questions wrong (one of them was a silly question about what diesel looks like if you spill it, though, which is hardly essential knowledge). And I completely missed the second hazard on the double-hazard clip, because I forgot I was supposed to be looking for two

But yeah, I feel like I'm on the cusp of getting it all. I have a good feeling ^^

I thought the hazard perception was going to be easy, I think I clicked like crazy, because I only just passed that part! Have you got a car already, or do you have the money saved up for a car?

I exercise, but I hate sport. I write, which is kind of a craft, and I'm working on making a plushie. But I'm not sure what those things have to do with driving.
My hand-eye co-ordination isn't great, but it's not the worst ever.

I'm capable of driving around, I'm just not consistent enough to pass the test yet.

I was just kinda hoping someone could say something useful, rather than "Maybe you should just give up, and by the way I find it easy."

Do you suffer from anxiety when driving?

Your obviously intelligent enough to learn, so it must be something else that's stopping you progress. It's as if you don't feel like you belong on the road, and that affects your judgement and therefore your ability to drive safely, thus knocking your confidence.
