Driving test

I have a driving test today, it's my forth one, I'm very worried, I tend to go the whole test with no faults and then nerves get me in the end and I fail, any tips on how to control nerves or what to do or think of whilst driving

Nope I failed, it was at the end I took a wrong turn on a roundabout, I did it properly tho but this wrong turn would've took me about 10 miles away from the test which I then had to go through a single carriage country road to get back to the road towards the test centre

Good luck. I was nervous too, but I didn't think about it, and just concentrated on driving. I did not research about the test on the day, and I believed in myself, even though I wasn't that confident. I passed, 2 minors, first time. You got it!

The car has to be insured/taxed if it's on a public road. You could SORN it if there's somewhere off-road you can store it (garage, driveway, etc.). But it's probably not a good idea to go ahead with the purchase if the car's just gonna be sitting around and losing its value.

Cheers for that I didn't buy the car, I'm but going to buy 1 on the Saturday coming up but I will have to tax and insure it after
Well done for passing your test, I had the same problem with nerves and took five goes 🤦🏻*♀️. But it doesn’t make a difference now I’ve been driving a couple of months and love it :wink: . What car are you getting? Freeedommmm
