Things you struggle with mostly while learning to drive

I just want want to get my driving license and be done with this and focus on my studies (yr 13). And the place where my instructor said I should have the test only have dates for december (not too bad tbh)

And did you have your test?

I'm okay at everything in my driving instructors car but I practised in my mums today and I stalled loads (which I never do in lessons anymore). I'm not sure if it's different cars and I just have to get used to it.
Also in my driving instructors car you can go from 5th to 2nd gear straight away when coming to a roundabout on a dual carriageway but in my mums car, you have to go from 5th into 3rd then into 2nd or into 4th and then into 2nd so I get confused as I'm used to just going straight from 5th to 2nd gear

You will get there, how many hours lessons have u had? You can go into your booking & look for earlier dates, cancellations do come up quite often... 😀

Yea, failed my first, was unfairly failed on my second & have another one next week... That will be my 3rd test in a month 😩😂

I only had 6 2 hour lessons and 1 1 hour lesson (13 hours altogether). Now I only have 2 maneuvers to learn.

Oh and don't worry, you will pass this time. I believe that you can do it. 🙃

And do you know why you failed the first 2?

Ah right, won't be long then & everything will click into place... I was still really nervous that early on in my lessons, once the nerves go it gets a lot easier ☺️

Thank you! That's so nice of u to say, I hope I do... It's costing a fortune in tests 🙈

The first time I failed for going into a tight junction too fast in gear 2 & because someone come up behind me whilst doing a reverse park & the examiner said I didn't do enough checks even tho I saw him & stopped until he passed 🤔

Second time the examiner failed me literally 3 mins before we got back to the test centre, he said I didn't check my right wing mirror when I moved into a right lane, he was wrong I did check & indicate & I had no other minors for mirror checks so it should have been a minor & I would have passed 😞 The examiners boss even admitted it should have been a minor 😭

Well tomorrow is my driving test, lets hope all goes well!

Ahhh good luck! Hope it all goes well for you!

My mammy has her second theory test attempt tomorrow. Hope she passes this time she is getting great scores in the mocks but I think she freezes during the test with nerves

How did it go?

I failed. I had an emotional breakdown after the test lmao. I got 3 serious faults and a **** ton of minors. Ironically my instructor told me, I drive really well and the only thing I need to work on is my mirror checks. In my test I didn't even get a minor for my mirrors, I just did everything else wrong!

Driving instructors typically use diesel cars and they are a lot more forgiving with the clutch and stalling. So if your mum has a petrol car it will be slightly different but honestly don't worry about it because everyone who learns in diesel then switches to petrol has this problem!
