I feel like I'd get P plates when I get a car too. Yeah taxi drivers can be really inconsiderate. On my test, a taxi driver came speeding out of nowhere and for the whole test, I thought I had failed because of it.
Yeah I definitely plan to have an experienced driver with me on my first few drives


Fair enough :smile:!

Yeah, they seem to think they own the roads :rolleyes: and seem to always think the other driver is in the wrong for something stupid they did. Aw bless, well at least the examiner knew it wasn't your fault :smile:!

Thinking of doing the Pass Plus Scheme, it's only £20 where I live! I'm looking at insurance quotes and I'm having heart attacks! Lmao!

Is that in Wales? I've done the Pass Plus, but my insurer doesn't even ask for it.

Theres a list which do: http://www.dragondriver.com/insurance.htm

Yeah, I live in Wales! Is it worth doing?

With how cheap it is, I might aswell do it? :smile:

To be fair you've got nothing to lose, apart from £20, but for what it could potentially save you it's well worth the £20. :biggrin:

Are you female? Often this condition can hamper your driving and result in unwanted pregnancies.

It's always taxi drivers. They make so many mistakes and drive competitively. Even when they're wrong, they'll blame you.

Yeah, it's a course which most insurers recognise and give you up to a 25% discount off your insurance premium for completing. :smile:

Really? Hopefully whenever I pass, I'll do this then. Theory is on Tuesday, still worried about it though.

Good luck. As long as you're consistently passing mock tests, you'll be fine

Theory is easy trust me, just make sure you revise and practice the hazard perception and you'll pass with flying colours! :yep:

Thanks. I'm not really worried out multiple to get 43/50 because I usually get 47/50 but I'm worried about Hazard Perception.

Good luck! I passed my theory first time! I was nervous about the hazard perception, but it was all good

I had the app on my phone which helps a lot and I use this website! So useful! :smile:

Thanks. Yeah that's the one I'm worried about, otherwise I'm confident that I can pass the multiple. Over these few days I'm going to do both.
