The Learner driver progression thread

You might as well have at least one lesson in the snow/ice. It's great experience, and can actually be pretty exciting when the wheels lose traction. All you have to do is drive more slowly and concentrate more on which way the car is moving (it won't necessarily be straight ahead!). Much better learning with an instructor than by yourself, anyway.

Well it's official, cancelled my test. Had an awful lesson (as per usual) and my instructor was saying how I was going to have accident because I'm so anxious and I forget everything...well those are my own reasons. Had a complete meltdown when I came in and saw that if I couldn't even be on the roads without a pounding heart or watery eyes, then I shouldn't be doing it at all.

I went driving tonight and I lsot control of the car

I was driving into my road and there's a layer of ice covering it... and it's a hill. Suddenly the wheel started spinning through my fingers and the car slipped. Scariest thing ever!

Nerves are kicking in full now, one week until theory test, argggggghhh!!

Arrghhh. My nice 1PM test got canceled because of snow, and now my rebooked test is on the 13th of March at 8:40 (IN THE MORNING!!!!)

Apart from traffic being bad, I'll be like a zombie at that ime



Get one of those Driving Test Success CDs. They really help for the Hazard Perception

My lessons been cancelled woooo No bay parkling for me


Aww don't take such drastic action , you'll regret it.

How many lessons have you had with your instructor? Maybe one telling you you're going to have an accident isn't the best for you and you should give it a try with another instructor......

I've been doing it a year this month. I'm a really slow learner and it takes me a long time to grasp skills like this, but I did book it kind of on impulse just because I wanted to pass. What made it worse was that the place where everybody else in my area did it closed down just after I started learning, which was a town and now I have to do it the city and that = pass rate much much lower and roundabout hell. Kind of regret not pushing myself now. aaaah.

ive just had 3rd lesson with new instructor and decided on a target of may, Im not feeling too confident though!
