My driving instructor would never fine me, even if I cancelled 10 mins before.

Neither would mine
Once I had a lesson at 11am but was convinced it was at 1pm. So my instructor turned up outside my house and I was still in the shower
He didn't mind and just came back when I was ready. What a guy.C274

Does anyone know how much of a difference it would make if I had an older version of the DSA Theory book as opposed to the current version?

Yeah, I was the same so that's probably why he didn't mind.
Me? Not bad, not bad...first test on the 19th!
Can i ask you guys something? Right, i've seen people failing for not putting clutch down on emergency stop - however when i've done the emergency stop with my instructor, i've only ever pressed the brake! My instructor's car has ABS (Anti-lock braking system) - so i guess that's why?
that is confusing. I just read someone faile for pressing the clutch down during emergency stop..
what is correc?

You should only put down the clutch right when your almost stopped - if you do it too early then yes your doing it wrong and could fail.
Right guys, I am out of here for a while. Off to uni next week, and then will pick this up again in December, hoping I haven't forgotten everything. Test 2 in early January...
Test in an hour!! Kind of excited.
My instructor made me drive out to a village today which took my double lesson, too return some keys to a pupil before who left them. This was instead of doing maneoruvres we were supposed to do . Is this normal?

No, he should do that in his own time, unless it is on the way to where your going anyway (eg. I've got a 20 min drive to the town I practice in, so if it was on the way then fair enough).
But in this case I would complain to him, you will have gotten almost nothing out of it so definitely complain - there are always other instructors.
university has stopped me from driving
Just got back from my first lesson since failing last week.
Instructor had to press the brake pedal twice! Once was cos i was turning right, and he thought i was gonna go straight through when there were oncoming cars - ok, so i thought i'd seen a filter light. The other was because i hadn't checked my blindspot properly - i got 3 minors for this on my test last week, so he's trying to drum it in to me!
Once apparently, i didn't look in my mirror when i'd braked. He told me to pull up and i went and did - brake, mirrors, signal. Whereas i should have done - mirrors, brake, mirrors, signal.
He said my manouevres are great now, we did them all today, so he's got no issues with them. He just said that i can be over cautious at times, and that my weaker areas is deffinately when there's traffic around.
You feel ***** when they've had to press the brakes, like you're the only person in the world to have that happen to them or something!

:Ha ha I feel like that too, but only twice is quite good. My instructor says I'm a good driver but still seems to use the brakes at most lights anyway
Got my test booked for the 11th of November!! Not too far away that I'll get impatient but not too close that I'll fail
I had a little panic 'cause I'd lost my theory pass certificate but I rang up and they were soooo nice, gave me the number over the phone so I could book my test straight away and arranged to send me my certificate within 10 days My driving lesson last night was apparently good, I didn't think so but my instructor said it was the best drive I'd ever had so
Except at the end I forgot to put it in neutral before I moved my seat back (and therefore taking my foot off the clutch) which gave my instructor a bit of a shock when the car jumped forward and stalled I haven't had him do the break down since the last lesson.
But on the way to town last Monday there is a Slow sign, and the sign for a tight turn - he tells me I can make it round at 50/60 but I break a little and he holds the break pedal up with his foot underneath it
