Be confident, drive safely and treat it as you would when driving with your instructor.
You may be asked to do an emergency stop, but not always. My cousin had it on her test but I didn't on my last 2 that I had. Just remember to keep both hands on wheel when stopping promptly during an emergency stop.
Good luck!

I was just wondering whether the 'emergency break' is compulsory?

did you have to do it for your test?

- Strangely, I don't feel that nervous, or at all to be honest, I have no idea why :s-smilie:

I think asking for tips is a bit pointless considering everyone in this forum is pretty much asking for the same thing but....

is there anyone who's done it recently who has last minute 'words of widsom'? :rolleyes:

Its not compulsory, but unless your pregnant be prepared that they might ask you to do it (if you are pregnant make sure you tell them before your test begins)

Sleep, and more sleep. And don't think about it- easier said then done maybe.

And don't be disappointed if you do not pass, theres no point. Just re book in for a few weeks (you have to wait X number of weeks- my head is telling me 3, although im not sure!)

If you get nervous in the morning- do some breathing exercises, or I recommend getting some Kalms tablets (there herbal so you can get them in supermarkets.)

Good luck.

oh and, my instructor said it's a 40 minute test - what will happen if there's a lot of traffic or something? :s-smilie:

They will just keep going- but it might mean basically your sat in traffic for your driving test.

Ie- if your in a traffic jam when your test is up, they will make you drive back to the test centre

But say you get out of traffic 38 minutes into your test, they will just take you back to the TC.

You lucky, lucky, being if that happens to you lol!

an hour to go......

Arghhh really sorry to hear that mate.

I've only had about 8 hours lesson so still got a couple more before booking my test.

I'm guessing you're still taking some lessons just to brush up before facing your next test?

Yeah taking lessons weekly to build on my confidence. The problem is that I'm naturally a very careful and hesitant person, and though my general driving is fine, I tend to underestimate my abilities a fair amount when on the road. But I'll get there in the end, somehow :biggrin:

Good luck with your driving bud :tongue:

Thanks

I know quite a lot of people like that you. Very careful drivers and somehow don't manage to pass their tests then you get crap drivers passing. However, one thing for sure is that this will make you a more experienced and better driver in the end.

Good luck. Hope to hear the wonderful news soon
